Been feeling the urge to spend today on books! I bought a book on amazon about vaccinations called The Truth About Vaccines: Making the Right Decision for Your Child by Richard Halvorsen. I have held off Tallulah having them for the time being while I decide what to do, when i get in to reading the research there are naturally strong arguments for both sides but currently it is way leaning over to not having the vaccines! Hmmm the book looks quite good so I will have a read and let you know what I
think! For me, this is probably one of the hardest decisions to make as a parent so far.
I have also been wanting to purchase these two books as I feel a creative urge coming on!
This book a friend recommended to me is called Baby Stuff which is a Japanese Aranzi book. It has lovely things like nappy bags, nappies, bibs, toys etc to sew and make! I really like the idea of making lovely things for Tallulah. The only prob is time, i already feel stretched but think I could do some stuff when she is asleep to help me relax and chill!
This one has allsorts of sweety little dresses and shoes and bits and bobs to make in! My mum has a sewing machine so I might ask her if she would let me borrow it and learn how to use it!
Ahhh tonight Tallulah and I had dinner at my Dad's house with my 2 brothers and Lara, driving I tuned in to hear Alex Metric doing his show on Radio 1 (Max plays bass in his band). When I parked up at home I twittered to him that we were listening in the car and he gave Max, Tallulah and I a big shout out and told everyone that Max was his bass player! So chuffed to be made to feel a bit spesh'!
That's fab you had a mention on the radio!! Lucky you! :-) It is so true that it's wonderful to feel special.
ReplyDeletePoor you with this dilemma of the vaccinations.
I went ahead and had all of my children done for the usual DTP and MMR and they were all fine. I made the decision based on the fact that these vaccinations have been going for years now and at the time I was more frightened of them contracting these horrid diseases.
However, I researched the one for the swine flu and decided against it for many reasons.
It is a really tough decision to make and really very heart rendering, when you know the child's life is in your hands....I'm sure that whatever you decide will be the right choice for Tallulah, and you :-)
