Finally Eve is starting to play by herself again. After the hospital, she wouldn’t let me put her down or get out of her sight. Things are starting to get back to normal….Ahhhhhhh….IN fact, as I write this, they are both laughing because O has just taught Eve to say poo poo. Feeling twinges of baby fever lately. Two of our friends, my cousin and my sister-in-law are all pregnant and they are all due around Jul/Aug. I also had a home visit with a new mom and saying that brand new baby definitely brought on the baby fever! We need to wait though. I feel like things are just finally settling down a little and we need to have more done on our house so I can just sit back and enjoy our new baby if we have another one…..
I just heard that there are 2 types of the influenza virus….A and B. 75% of A is not covered by the shot and 100% of B. Our ARNP that we go to told me that. it was a report from the CDC. It made me feel better about not getting Eve the flu shot because obviously, this is just one of those things that are random and she had A and B so the B wouldn’t have been covered anyway and she could have still gotten that part……I do think that we are still going to get her vaccinated. I was reading about the aluminum they are putting in the vaccines now and it is frightening. However, Dr. Sears wrote a book about vaccines listing aluminum levels and which brands have which amounts of aluminum in them and a suggestion for how to limit the aluminum (which shots to get and when and how many to get at once) while getting your children vaccinated. It should be here in a couple of days so hopefully, Eve’s dr. will work with us in that way in getting her vaccinated….
I truly believe that LLL nourishes my soul. I had a home visit last week. It is so refreshing to be able to help someone and see the relief on their face. Of course, there is nothing more frustrating than leaving a mom and feeling like I didn’t help her and couldn’t figure out her problem. Then, I worry that I am not qualified to do this, and of course, feel like I have failed them.
