I went to the chiropractor this morning. It has been way too long. I don't know why I always put it off; I thought about it several times. It just somehow always end up on the back burner.
I took Max for his 2 month (although he is almost 3 months) well baby checkup. He weighs 12 lbs 10 oz and is 25 inches long. Wow, has he grown!!! The pediatrician commented on how much he smiles. I had been nervous about the appointment just because I didn't want a confrontation over the immunizations. When he brought it up and I said we wanted to delay he was really great about it. He told me about the ones that he felt were unnecessary (unless I have the disease, like the HEPB) and the ones he would "arm wrestle" me over. I felt like it was a discussion rather than a know-it-all doctor patronizing the ignorant paranoid mother.

Out of curiousity, which immunizations did he think were unnecessary? and which ones did he think you should do?
I'm glad you have a doctor that doesn't make you feel bad about your decision on the immunizations. That really should be a parent's choice. I would be interested on which immunizations he thought were unnecessary as well.
I'm so glad you have a Dr. who is willing to have a discussion with you on the matter. That's very grown-up of him. ;-)
I hope this doesn't sound bad, but I'm glad you're informed and made your own decision, and standing up for yourself and your baby.
You're an awesome momma!
