So, I just got the H1N1 vaccine. They offered it to me, more or less off-handedly, at my prenatal visit, and I was like, "Um, sure!" I've heard the paranoia running around, but am really fairly unconcerned. I'm much more concerned about Wesley bringing it home from school and my 2-week-old baby getting sick from it. Since I'm planning to breastfeed, I'll be protecting Sebastian for a lot longer than the 12 days until the baby is born, and if I can avoid contracting flu this winter, the chances of continuing to breastfeed into spring and summer will be much higher: illness is what finally put an end to breastfeeding with both Wesley and Lorrie.

So. Surprise vaccine, but yay. And everything is fine with the baby. And I am really, really tired today. Lorrie and I both need naps. Maybe we'll take them together after she's done her snack.
