getting so big!!
Xander is 8 weeks old today. His two month Dr appt is on Tuesday and he gets his first round of vaccinations. I have had an internal battle since the day I found out I was pregnant about whether or not I should vaccinate my child. I have read many articles about the advantages and disadvantages of the shots. I have come to the conclusion that if I follow the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics on all other areas of raising my child, why not follow their recommedations on vaccinations. The media has me scared of my child getting Autism but God already has Xander's future planned and if that's what's included then we will endure.

Amen girl..I agree with you 100%. I freaked while on bed rest and bought a few books on vaccinations, trying to decide what I would do. I think too many diseases are being brought back into the country that were once nearly GONE...because of people not getting their vaccines. And when you have a newborn in the NICU, breathing thru little tubes...you want to protect them as much as you can. I couldn't live with myself if one of the girls was in ICU with some sickness just because I didn't get them a shot. The girls fought to survive thru my crazy pregnancy...I'm gonna keep them as safe as I can!
