A Graceful Life

Grace had her 1 year check-up today, and she is healthy!  She weighs 19 lbs 5 oz.  But she had to have 3 shots, which I hate!  She was pushing the nurse away and crying!  I hate watching her go through that (she was of course fine pretty soon after).  I decided to delay the MMR until she is a little older.  The whole debate over immunizations is so hard for a parent.  There seems to be no definitive evidence that the MMR is connected to autism, but there is enough to make you question it.  And I feel like either way, immunization or not, I could harm my baby.  I guess it is part of the mommyhood territory.  In some ways, life as a parent was so much easier before the internet and all the information!  Anyway, I am so grateful she is healthy and happy!
