I had meant in a personal sense, I've never encountered anyone who did any research about vax (or anything parenting related actually). Everyone I know, including my twin sister, vax, formula feeds, disposable diaper, spanks, etc. Because it's "the way things are done" or "my doctor told me to". I don't spend much, if any, part of my day reflecting on those who choose to vaccinate. I get it. During my pregnancy with Danny I was SOOO pro-vax which is ironic considering that he (and Tristan) are NOT vaccinated. Thank you for putting into words what my brain couldn't!!

That phrasing makes people want to prove to you that research CAN support vaxing... hence all the comments about that. But I understand what you mean. You meant that the people you encounter in your area who vaccinate do it because you are "supposed to..." but you weren't saying that there aren't people who might vaccinate from a more informed place... like me. :) I feel like I researched and was OK with the risks. No one wants it implied that they're ignorant, whether they decide to vaccinate or not... it's tough because with these parenting topics, phrasing something even slightly wrong can make people get defensive. Hey, it happens. Don't worry. .-= {shared blog entry - <a href="http://fcmom.blogspot.com/2010/02/teaching-as-mom.html">Teaching as a Mom</a>} =-.

But I understand what you mean.

For me since there was no chapter in my area, I started one, so I have always been the one holding meetings anxious if anyone would come! You will have a good time, especially since you have Gina. I am so totally jealous...can ya tell? I got the D3000 last night and I left it in the box overnight because I was scared of it. I really broke it out this morning once I got up and the toddler wasn't running through the house like a madman...

I hope that you enjoy it. Let us know how it goes! I still sometimes use WW recipes that are vegan just because they are so yummy. I'll have to put a couple up sometime. I am looking forward to some new pictures with your new camera! How exciting! I am super jealous! And a new ipod too? My goodness! Lucky! I used to be on your links page but I don't seem to be there anymore. You are on mine! :) I used to do WW and was very successful on it in the past. I hope that you enjoy it. Let us know how it goes!

I thought your post was rather lovely. I also want to cosign on the iphone love. I got one for the holidays and I'm now in love. Just think, I'm actually kind of a late adopter when it comes to technology so it's kind of amazing that I got a smart phone like this so "soon." Sorry you got so much flack about your vax choices.
