We asked our doctor about immunization and a link to autism. He was very adamant that they was no link between the two and our child would be better served getting the shots.

Xavier got his first round about a month ago and his is going great. He goes in for his second set in about 2 weeks.

i agreed to immunization but said NO to circumcision. i think he'll thank me for that one day.

Congrats! I know the feeling. I looked at Jack just the other day and asked him where the little baby went. He went from never wanting to be put down to never wanting to be held overnight. Now he just wants to play with his many toys on the floor, crawl around, take a few steps here and there, and (GASP) climb the stairs, his new favorite thing to do, not that we let him do it much, or alone. Hard to believe he'll be 1 Friday

happy birthday to jack! and i hear you about the stairs- the scare the crap outa me.

I thought Circumcision was more commonplace, but after viewing several posts in this thread, I guess it's not.

I think it's becoming less prevelant, as with all standard things. We had my son circumsized, but my best friend and his wife didn't have their son cut.

I used to work in daycare and we had a little girl that was in my class that did not have any of her shots.

There's a paper that can be filled out by the doctor and the school district.

So, meddle, it's possible that you could never have to give Chloe shots and she could still go to school too.

It'd be worth checking into.

thanks hands bound. We checked it out already by doing our research (well, my bf did that haha) but he said that certain states have different laws regarding shots. In our state, California, it is not a requirement for children to attend schools to have their shots.

hey, that is around the same time I found out what I was going to have, so you might have that in the next few weeks to see if your little one is going to be a boy or a girl.

YEAH!! I am so happy for you girl. OH and expect your Rh shot to be given around the 32-34 week mark. SO not fun!

If we were going to have a boy Eric and I said we wouldnt circumcise.
But a study just came out saying that circumcising might prevent some cases of HIV in males.

We gave Adria her shots but broke them up into two sets each time.
Its the one year vaccine the MMR one that is possibly linked to Autism.

Adria hasnt been big on crawling.
Sha always just rolled everywhere.
But in the past week she is trying to crawl and walk.
Its anyones guess what she will try to stick with.
She will crawl a way and then decide she wants to find something to pull herself up on instead.
I spend a majority of my day now walking around hunched over holding her hands as she walks around the house.
She loves to go as fast as her legs will go and run down the hall waiting for the dogs to follow.
She screams with laughter.
She thinks they are going to chase her and its a fun game.
Oooohhh my aching back!

I wouldnt circumsise anyway.
But I do agree that we should teach our kids about safe sex.
Same thing with the new shot for girls to prevent cervical cancer.

This is all fascinating to me. Is it because you don't want him to experience the procedure or is there another reason.

I've got to be honest, an uncircumcised penis freaks me out.

Hehehe....
Weeeellll
My hubby isnt
and never had any problems growing up.
To me its like saying that they found evidence that the scriptures were wrong and its not actually the foreskin God wanted removed.
Its the earlobes.
So would everyone start lopping off thier sons earlobes?
HEheeee
man that would be soooo funny
I dont know I guess it has part to do with the procedure.
Am I explaining myself all right?
or just sounding like a boob?

genevieve

Some cultures belive in female circumcision too.
I dont belive in that either.
And neither do most people over here.
I think its a thing of the past.
For me it is at least.

No, that makes sense...

I guess it's not something that I've openly talked about with others...I've always assumed.

After paying $49.85 a week for 6 bottles of ready-to-feed Similac Alimentum formula, PBW called their 1-800 number and asked if they could send any samples or more coupons.

The customer service representative is sending us a bunch of coupons and a box (6) of formula for free.

I guess it never hurts to ask. Just a heads up if anyone is using Similac formula.

good.

for me, it's the idea of it that i find offensive. why mutilate our baby boys?? we wouldn't tolerate cutting any other part of him off at birth, would we??

We had another ultrasound this week to check on the baby's growth (she's doing fine) and they adjusted the due date to July 27th instead of July 20th. I've been telling anyone who would listen that I thought the original one was wrong, but what do I know!

John (ringo) made me laugh when he told my stomach yesterday, "Okay baby, this is the only time in your life that you'll actually grow younger!"

So....happy to have due date adjusted, but I also realize that she's going to come when she's going to come! (I can't believe I still have almost 4 months to go! Augh!)

Well i have a bit a downy .....(maybe it´s normal sometimes in pregnancy)
