This Wednesday, July 15, Claire will be going to the doctor for her 15 month well check-up. Normally I look forward to these appointments so that I can see all the progress she's making, how big she's getting, and have all my questions answered. Unfortunately I am dreading this appointment. This is the appointment where she receives the MMR vaccine, the most controversial of them all. Lee and I have discussed immunizations at length and have both decided that she will receive all of her shots according to the CDC recommended time table. However, I can't help but be a little nervous. That's why I'm asking for your prayers--more for me than for her!! I KNOW that God is in control and that He will protect my baby. After all, she belongs to Him, not me. But it is my job to do everything in my power to keep her healthy and happy and leave the rest up to Him. So, I covet your prayers for my peace of mind and for her comfort. I will certainly update the blog again with all the details of my little goose's progress and milestones. Thank you for all of your support!

I will definitely be praying for you! I was so nervous when I took Kaitlin for her MMR that I made Keven go with me. I didn't think I'd be able to hold her down for the shot.
Hope all went well today!
I totally understand your fears Rebecca! I was so freaked out by the MMR that Brad and I delayed it for months. Baker just got his this past Monday at 19 mths and I am still nervous. I feel like I watch every move he makes now! So, you're not alone but what you said is so true...they aren't ours anyway. They belong to God and we just have to do the best we can to protect them. You're doing a great job and Claire is a beauty!!
