We are having a .......



Another baby boy!!!

Sorry that it took me so long to update you all!!!!!! I hope none of you were worried, because I know I have been after reading blogs then waiting, waiting and waiting.
Everything was perfect, his heartbeat was 145 and all his parts seemed to be there.
This was an extra ultrasound, since I have had so many issues and I have been quite uneasy.
We go for the big 20 week ultrasound in 4 weeks.
Now, the hard part (well after actually getting pregnant again) is deciding on a name.
Ideas??

Boy or Girl???

Vaccine Awareness

Most of you know that we are against vaccines. We have documented proof that Walker died from his 4 month vaccinations. It is "nice" to know what really happened, but disheartening to know that we could have prevented his death. My baby could be with me now!!!

Whether to vaccinate your child is 100% a personal decision. What I am hoping is that everybody really does their research on the damage that can come from these shots.

Do you know how many shots you received when you were a child? Now they get 48 doses of 14 different vaccines before the age of 6!!! (http://www.nvic.org/Downloads/4507NVIC11x17HIRES.aspx).
Here is a sample of a shot schedule from 1970 (the year I was born): 14 shots total

JUN 1971 - DPT
JUN 1971 - TRIVALENT POLIO
AUG 1971- DPT
AUG 1971 - TRIVALENT POLIO
SEPT 1971 - DPT
SEPT 1971 - TRIVALENT POLIO
OCT 1971 - MEASLES
OCT 1971 - GERMAN MEASLES
OCT 1971 - MUMPS
APR 1972 - SMALL POX
OCT 1979 - DTB
NOV 1976 - POLIO TRIVALENT
JULY 1982 - MEASLES
JULY 1982 - TBMV

Of course this is a sample and not my shot record, but I am sure mine is very similiar. (mom?) I potentially had 14 shots between birth and 12 years of age, today they want kids to have 48 before the age of 6!!!!

Please, please do your research. This is an interesting site to check out - http://vaccineawakening.blogspot.com/

You don't have to agree with me or follow what I will do, but please when making your decision know that you are making the most informed decision for your child and your family.

A late picture

Me at 13 weeks with Baby Smith #2
I can't figure out the picture software on this new laptop. So it has taken me awhile to get the pictures off my camera and be able to view them. The colors aren't great, but you get the idea!!

Happy 4th Birthday Walker

Happy Birthday!
Today you would have been 4 years old. I can't imagine the party we would have had for you. You would be an amazing little boy, who made us laugh everyday. I think about what you would be doing, what you would look like, what your likes and dislikes would be, what personality traits we would see from each of us in you and how kind and happy you would be.
You are perfect in every way and we miss you so much every day.

We love and miss you birthday boy!!
