Talina, have you been researching vaccines? Have I asked you that eleventy thousand times? In Colorado they’ve started doing Hepatitis B vaccines within hours of birth–not because babies are at risk, but because it’s easier to “get them all as they come out” than to screen whether the mothers are crack whores and putting the child at risk later. IF you decide you don’t want to do the vaccine, you have to sign numerous documents that get overwhelming right after giving birth. And they’ll accost your husband/partner about it if you just happen to be sleeping. If there are vaccines you want to do and others you don’t want to do, make a list ahead of time… because the first few weeks after giving birth pass in a fuzz of sleepless delirium. I have several emailable documents I can send you if you’re interested… I went MUCH more holistic with my 2nd kid than the first, because I hadn’t done enough research for the 1st and I’ve hated myself for that ever since. email me if you want me to send you some of the documents.

p.s. I’m totally in for the cyber baby shower… I’ve just lost my mind and forgotten to respond to that email.
