I feel crazy. My brother's girlfriend came over today and as she is holding the baby, starts telling me how her 1-year old niece had the chicken pox vaccine and now has bumps on her so they think she might actually have it... but it's fine because she (gf) has already had chicken pox so she won't give it to baby.
Logicslly this makes sense, right? Except I can't remember anything about a chicken pox vaccine anyway. And even if it sounds true, it still annoys the shit out of me.
Am I nuts? Can I call-in resident export for all things science related, @kaysa2? (Sorry to bother you! )
@lest12 my knowledge is about 25 years old but I think once you have the chicken pox once you're usually good to go and it's not common to get them again.
FWIW, both my kids got bumps after receiving the chicken pox vaccine but neither of them were actually diagnosed with having chicken pox.
@lest12 I do believe even with the vaccine you can still get chicken pox, but a more mild case of it. Same with already having chicken pox....if it happens again it's more mild. How old is your brother's gf? Adults would get shingles, not chicken pox.
1. Yesterday I was having a melt down because of my flaky friend not being able to do newborn pictures. The photographer that I found is able to do them Sunday! I'm so excited!
2. I also posted earlier that C nursed. Well we've had short nursing sessions all day! He's still needing a bottle to get his tummy full, but not as much and he's latching and getting something! Hopefully this will help my supply and we can nurse the majority of the time!
Thank you, @kaysa2 and everyone else for their thoughts on it. I'm sure its all unlikely that anything would happen but it just annoyed me. I'm a horomonal paranoid new mom, damn it. No one else is touching this kid until he's 18!
I cannot sleep and baby is snoozing away so I am having the most random thoughts. Can we have a J14 pregnancy pact and do this again in another year or so? I want all the same mommas on my next BMB and just really love how we do things here compared to what I have seen lurking on other boards. Who's with me!?!?!

What about a J18 or J19?? I need a few years to recover/forget about the newborn stage. Lol

Bebes must be closer together!! But I may be on round 3 then so that works, too

DH and I are.... deciding. I wanted to try for a little girl, DH didn't. But now, with the newborn stage and all, I'm def not sure anymore! Especially with chances of having twins again!!!!! I love my boys but do NOT want to go through all this again lol...
But if we do we would probably be more like F/M16, i dont want to be big and pregnant when it starts getting really hot again. nopee.

If we didn't already have a 1 year old I might say yes! But for now I'm thinking J18 or J19 haha
I've had a few really emotional days In a row and so DH just settled me in my lounge chair upstairs in our library with a couple of books, a donut, a cup of coffee and he told me that he would take care of LO for the next two hours. I love that man.
DH and I were married a little over a month after we started dating (yes we moved fast) so celebrating a dating and wedding anniversary would be a bit redundant lol
Dh and I aren't entirely sure of the day we started dating because we were friends with benefits first and the line of when that turned to actual dating is a little blurry, so we just call is September
I think we are going to get married before anymore babies happen but planning a giant wedding is less and less appealing. But I want a dress and pretty photos without baby weight. Could someone plan that for me?
My dad is reading to Cleo while she's in the bassinet. He's been here most of the day too. I think he's quite excited about his granddaughter. And apparently the dog responded well to when my dad brought home her smell and when DH did too. Woohoo!
@skamber I get it now too. This morning DH let me sleep and I heard sniffing and he's sitting in the rocking chair staring at her as she's yawning and cooing and he was crying saying how pretty she was.
Today was my last appt before my scheduled induction next Thursday. She stripped my membranes and I'm hoping that it works. Please baby girl, come out!
Would it be weird to take a baby to a winery? It's my sister's bday and we were planning to go to a local winery for lunch or dinner. Would it be acceptable to take a baby? I have to option of leaving him with my niece but I'm not sure.

(This is not a BFP announcement from me, just wishful thinking.)
J16 scares me. H wants another and I'm not so convinced. We don't even have the second yet!
Also, I used the wrong "their/they're" and I've been quoted for it to be remembered forever! My English degree is laughing at me.
