So today Marley had the big six month appointment. You know what that means? Another large dose of pain inducing, supposed shots and vaccinations. I'm still not sure how I feel about all those shots. On one hand, the most doctors swear up and down about how great all the shots are and that you need to give your baby all the vaccinations or they will get sick and die. Now we don't want that, so we get the shots. Now I also know that most babies will probably be just fine with out all those shots, and that there is a lot of information out there saying that the all those shots that babies get now, are the main factor leading to all these babies getting autism and other weird things now. Years ago babies didn't have all wide spread problems that they have now like the ever increasing amount of SIDS and growing numbers of kids with autism.
Still, there is a lot more people out there that say the vaccines are safe and you should definatly give your child all the help they can get in you nasty, disease infested world. So she got the shots, cried, and was ok. Hopefully she doesn't get the flu, because then I will have to say that the flu shot she got today didn't work. Only set her up for a lifetime of flu sickness, and she will have to get flu shots every year just like the rest of us... damn you pharmaceutical companies.

- A new Stay at Home Dad's expereniences and thoughts from our baby girl's very fist day. I'm really looking forward to this new adventure. Spending time with my wife and my child are what's most important to me now. Learning to be a good dad will be an adventure. If you want, you can go along for the ride.

Ya I am with you on all that. Not sure what to think about those shots. My daughter got hers but I think it is more like a way for nurses, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies to make money and feed toxins to our children.
At least people are more and more aware and health conscious. I think it is a matter of time before those companies will be under a lot of pressure to shape up.
Great blog, I'm considering being a stay at home dad in Seattle as well. We're due in March.
I'll add my two cents here and say that amongst the medical community (i.e. doctors, medical researchers, etc.) there is NO question that you should vaccinate your babies. There is NO objective research that has ever demonstrated a connection between vaccines and autism despite what Jennifer McCarthy and other celebs would like you to think.
The reason that it would be likely rare for your child to catch one of these devestating diseases is because of our countries robust vaccination program and if that subsides, you bet there will be many kids acquiring all of these nasty buggers.
I love reading your blog. I just stumbled upon it today while looking for information on teething. My husband and I just had our first child, also a daughter, in August. She's awesome - and just had her shots at her 2 month visit!
We'll definitely be saving this page and keeping up with your journey. Great job!
We vaccinate very conservatively. It is a very personal decision and I think it's great you have taken a little time to blog about it. I always wonder if we are making the right decision. Sometimes I do think the pharmaceutical companies are brainwashing us just to increase their bottom line. Just think of the millions they make when a new "required" vaccine comes out for a disease that's not that bad to begin with!
