DS 6 was not immunized as a baby. I looked very deeply into the risks, benefits and ingredients of all the scheduled jabs and made an informed decision not to do them. Then in stepped Mr Mum! He is a firm believer in vaccines and as the good submissive wifey that i am, i cut him a deal, he could vaccinate DS6 as long as i never had anything to do with it. And so he did. DS6 is now fully immunised. What shocked me was how dramatic the difference in his health was once he was done. All of a sudden he started picking up stomach bugs, coughs and colds, flu's, chest infections and ear infections. Do i regret it? No, not necessarily, but i am still not completely sold on the whole process.
So DS8months is not on shedule, but he has had his 6 week ones (at 6 months) and his 3 month ones (today). The actual administration of them was a breeze, a few tears and then over it. As for reactions... the first lot he was sooooooooooo grumpie!! This time, he has slept and slept and is so sad!! Its heartbreaking!! So needless to say, he will be in our bed tonight!!
Had a fabulous day today! I woke up EARLY!! So before the kids started making noise i had done the washing, dishes, vacuuming, dinner prep, my bed made and gotten my hair straightened!! Go mummy!!! Was amazing to have a catch up with a very wonderful friend of mine after school!
Tomorrow is d day for DS6. His class is off to raglan beach for the day and due to his behaviour yesterday, he cant go! Mr mum is off on a training day and so we will be home without a car! Seems like a perfect opportunity to start getting christmasy to me!!
good on you for making an informed decision and what was best for you family.
ReplyDeletehehehehe love the photo of mr 6. What a boy as usual :) He is so funny.
Ok so you need to give me a lesson on being super mum and being so organised. I am so lazy and just do things as they need doing, not planned in advanced. and house work gets done when people are coming over lol.
