Congrats on your little one! <br /><br />We decided against banking, but Zavier still didn't get all his blood :-( I'm happy it was delayed a little longer than my first though. Vax.. We only did the vit K after birth.. which caused some confusion (along with the rest of this) when he went in for vax's at the pedi's office lol. We have him on an alternate schedule, which is pretty easy unless we get a receptionist who doesn't know what that means like we did last month. <br /><br />Waterbirth on the other hand... Those are awesome. I'm so glad I had one. Have fun researching it :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341972580242155933.post-50460101051406960622010-07-20T21:02:01.729-07:002010-07-20T21:02:01.729-07:00I make the same decision about the cord blood--if ...I make the same decision about the cord blood--if it is valuable later, isn't that because it is valuable at birth? Would rather let the baby get it then!<br /><br />So awesome it sounds like all is going well. : ) So happy for you!Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079902364989480862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341972580242155933.post-42048737702631431152010-07-20T13:57:47.317-07:002010-07-20T13:57:47.317-07:00I hear you on your last note :)
I'm glad you ...I hear you on your last note :)<br /><br />I'm glad you had a good appointment! I'm also jealous that you get an ultrasound. My midwives don't do them :( <br /><br />Are you finding out the sex?<br /><br />About your questions - I researched cord blood banking and decided against it. I agree with what you said about pulsing!<br /><br />Immunizations - we did all of them but rotavirus, chicken pox, hep B, and flu shots with the boys. And with all of the others, I had them split them up - no more than one shot per visit and we go back every two weeks for a shot until they are caught up. It's been a great compromise. The boys get the shots they need, and they never even get a fever afterwards. I personally think more than one shot per visit is too much on a little body. You can also request that they split up the combo shots, which we ended up doing with David.<br /><br />We're going with a waterbirth this time. I really wanted it with my others and the hospital didn't have tubs. I think this is the part of a homebirth that I am most excited about!! Even if you don't deliver in the water, laboring in the tub just sounds heavenly.<br /><br />Glad things are going well with your pregnancy. I hope you get relief and can enjoy some food soon!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493721393475710385noreply@blogger.com
