Here is Marie in my favorite NewBorn outfit. My little Sailor Girl. I can't believe she's almost grown out of this... oh sad!Epidurals are great, I wish I could hand them out for Halloween, just so everyone could know how great they are.
I know my dad isn't gonna like this picture. He isn't always this mad. Maybe Obama was on TV and that's why he's so mad. Marie looks secure though. I bet he's thinking "Don't worry Marie, I will protect you from a liberal, fascist America!"I wanna vaccinate Marie, but my mom informed me that I haven't been vaccinated with most vaccines. And here I am. Alive and well. A total jerk sometimes.. but alive and well.
Proud Grandpas. Can't get enough pictures! (haha but I forgot to take any last weekend when she got blessed! AAK!)
Marie is getting her shots on October 6th. I can't decide whether to space them out though. I'm afraid she'll have a reaction by combining them. Hmm like an epidural, I can't find a real good case against vaccines. So far I'm in love with modern medicine... but I'm still questioning "the man" so as he won't metaphorically "hold me down."
Aww! Scriptures+a baby+ a grandpa= super peaceful home.Ron was so rad to fly out for Marie's blessing. However, we were not rad for not celebrating his birthday while he was here. If you are reading this you should comment and tell us how to make it up to him. We are crappy.
Marie has officially grown out of this outfit!!! I'm gonna cry.I rented a book on potty training yesterday. However, once I got home it made me so sad to think of her that grown up. I guess I would be even sadder though if I was wiping her bum when she is 12.
I just hope I feel that good about the vaccines. I am hoping worst case scenario is that Marie will turn into some X-Men like character and have super powers. I hope she can fly. ... or start pooping money. That would be great to.

Those are definitely some random thoughts. Why are you always thinking about epidurals? She's already out! Unless you're still hurting "down there" like I was for months after Skye. ???
Vaccines are a tough one. When all is said and done, I vaccinate. But, I waited awhile with Skye. She was just so little.
Here's a happy thought: Wait until she's old enough to be disciplined and everyone starts judging you on your parenting skills. Fun times.
So, I just reread your post. Those thoughts were from BEFORE Marie was born, right? Now I get it. I'm a little slow.
AGH! I didn't think someone would read it so fast! I didn't realize half of that post was still up and I deleted it.
Yeah, I am obsessed with epidurals. I just took me so long decide if I should get one or not. I guess I'm afraid of medicine, hence the vaccine conundrum.
Also I would like to announce I am over my obsession with getting Post Partum Depression. I think I just read to many pamphlets about it in the doctors office.
Man, I have way to much time on my hands..
Oh and also my episiotomy has (i think) finally healed.
But I don't think I would know, b/c I have been doped up on motrin for weeks... but that's another post...
You are funny! How come I didn't know how funny you are? Hmmm...could it be because I haven't really had much of a conversation with you since we've been adults? Sheeees...people gotta stop moving to far away places!
I, too, am in love with epidurals. I have given birth once without its blissful benefit (it wore off too soon), and I would not recommend that to anyone. I vaccinated all three of my girls when the Docs said to, and they're all fine and normal (well, they have Youngberg genetic tendencies, but that's good crazy), so I'm all for giving 'em the shots, but it is really hard to put them through that when they're so little. Although two seconds after the shot they've forgotten why they're crying, unlike the 5-year-old at the kindergarten checkup. But that's a discussion for five years from now. You just have to decide what's right for you and then be prepared to defend your decision until the day you die. I did the "normal" thing and still have to defend that!
Sorry about the novel-like comment. I like to talk.
P.S. What's wrong with Obama? On second though, no, let's not got there! :)
Haha, yah lets not go there! (we'll save the political banter for the politcal blogs)
I like your comment- because it's pretty much what i wanted to hear. I'm gonna vaccinate- and like epidurals, I can't find a case against it I can put faith in, so vaccinations here we come!
Just be glad you all have girls and don't have to watch a circumcision! Thats horrible!!! They should give babies epiduals for those!! I didn't really think twice about vaccinating Colton, but he always did run a really high fever for a couple of days after. Make sure to have infant Tylenol on hand just in case. :)
My brain can't wrap itself around the idea of forgetting to take pictures of your frist newborn in her blessing dress! haha. Atleast her grandpas got some!:)
Hey thanks for calling last night. That was really nice of you. Sorry I didn't call you back. I was staying at my families last night and didn't have my phone. Love ya.
I like the idea of random thoughts and random pictures. Who says pictures have to go with what you say? You're giving the people what they want: more Marie pictures, so it's all good.
I don't get a voice when it comes to anything to do with parenting because I'm not technically "taking care of my own children", buuuuut I would say yes to vaccines. They beat watching thousands of kids die from polio and stuff. But again, I have no real say...
And like Allie, why haven't we ever really had a real conversation? We're all SO FUNNY. We'd have a blast. I guess growing up with that huge age difference had something to do with it (what was it, 6 years or something?). Maybe the Youngberg girls should plan a reunion sometime.
Don't be afraid of vaccines. Just ask for preservative-free shots. And I recommend getting them all together so you can have less shot sessions. Believe me, it isn't fun! I still tear up when she has to get them.
Thanks for the posts! I will lump them together and hook Marie up with the Tylenol.
Yes- I'm in love with the Youngberg blogs! I love reading your funny funny posts!
So Cecilia just got her shots this week. They weren't so bad. She actually didn't get a fever or anything. She just was extra tired the afternoon after the shots. But they do space them out normally I think. Like 2, 4, 6 months and then at 12. Just wait to nurse Marie after the shots and she'll forget they even happened.
