<div style="font-style:italic;">DD has her 2 month check up this week and I'm starting to get nervous about the vaccine thing. I just don't know where I stand or what to do! I started looking at the vaccine threads on here and got even more overwhelmed. With DS, we did everything except varicella and flu shots, and I think there is still hep a we need to do maybe? I don't know. We delayed a few of the ones we did too. BUT - that was with the guidance of his previous pediatrician. Who was well educated in some of the heavy metal concerns with vaccines. Those aren't my only concerns now though.<br><br>
I'm thinking we will just tell the doctor we will get the vaccines at the health department and then take some more time to figure this out. Ugh...so difficult.</div>

I've never vax'd before ~ 1 yr before...am stalling as best I can here in "germy" Brazil... I am NOT ready to give shots to my miracle preemie Juju yet! Worse, my pedi doesn't do shots -- sends you to a clinic instead, but I preferred getting shots directly from the pedi I loved & trusted in the US!<br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

<div style="font-style:italic;">Ok, so I'm totally paranoid about Caleb's weight gain. He was one of the bigger babies on here I think, at 9 lbs. 11 oz. He just turned 3 months last Thursday and doing the whole weigh myself and then weigh myself with him I think he's about 14.5 pounds now. He was 13.5 at his 2 month checkup so only 1 pound gain for the month...gah, I hate the stress of BFing. I wish I didn't have supply issues. But right now I'm wondering if I just have crappy milk - I pumped tonight 2 hours after he went to bed and got 4.5 ounces, so he should be getting plenty...why can't I have fat, chubby babies? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/greensad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="greensad"></div>

*HUGS!* Juju is my first baby to need formula, & it is so painful to acknowledge; I had no idea how painful and even embarrassing it can feel... *pout-pout-pout!* But 4.5 oz is great!!<br><br>

Just saw that one of my Facebook friends (first-timer w/a 7-mo-old) joined a group called "Sleep-training the Weissbluth Way", and I need to get some b*tchiness out of my system... I struggled not to type to her that all three of my babies were/are excellent sleepers without "training". ...Because maybe I'm just lucky.<br><br>
But then, I don't really think it's luck. I think it's patience.<br><br>
Although, also? I have never once [in! 9! years!] bragged intentionally about my babies sleep habits. And maybe now I want to. MY BABIES SLEEP AWESOME.<br><br>
Ok, just totally jinxed it, but I feel a little better. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngtongue.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Stick Out Tongue"><br><br>

I've seen some DDCs creating monthly chat threads inside Life With a Babe -- are there enough of us still here that would want to do that? I'm on the FB group but always forget to check it, though maybe that's b/c it is so slow right now.
