I held off one of the 15 month shots until 18 months and another until the 2 year. I think the 'live' vaccines are more of a concern. It is worth a suggestion to Mr. Clooney. My alternative doc nodded and approved. I am on the 'lalalalala' train for my 40th also. I am waiting to have that "let's throw a rocking party because it is GOING TO HAPPEN" but so far....no sense of humor or fun is taking over. I have voted to bury my head in the California sand with my 3 charming boys...I'll come home 40 and no one will ever know! Except for me, my husband and my entire family!

It feels like a big deal. I announce it to everyone I know. I'm going to be 40 in August and I'm embracing it ALL year long. I completed a mini-triathalon in May to mark the occasion. It felt good - so the bike pictures, I can relate to. As well as slapping on a real swimmer's suit with back cut out (and back fat hanging out) but I did it! Also, I fretted about my youngest's MMR shot and hesitated. She had already had them!!! Happy Birthday! Also, I really am embracing 40 and everything that I have learned in the last 2 years. I wouldn't trade the lower metabolism, crow's feet, dimples in my legs for any of that!! Have fun in Hotlanta - I'm in hot Baton Rouge. This is my year to turn 40. It feels like a big deal.

I heard a plaintive wail "MOMMY, FEET HURT !" I hadn't taken him for new shoes for about 4 months! They don't wear out at the ripe old age of 14 months, and he had been curling his toes under as I slipped them on each day. I don't remember where I was headed at the time, but we made a bee line to the shoe store and he had grown like 3 sizes since his last pair!!! I felt awful....but still told Mike on the way home,"don't tell Daddy " . Hey, here I was a full time Mom and blowing the job! Good news...Mike DOES walk funny, but it's just like his DAD !!

I am so on top of this stuff, and yet 15 month came and went without me even noticing...Being a Mom is hard. I did the exact same thing…How is it that I missed the 15 month well child visit?

I turn 37 next month and AM NOT looking forward to it. I don't know why, just not. Also, I have a son with autism, so the vaccination thing is a big deal with me. However, autism does run in my family, so my take on vaccines is if you're genetically predisposed to autism, then all those vaccinations may be a bad thing. But there's a lot of bad stuff in the environment, too, that may be causing the rise in cases of autism. I think it's a combination of genes and environment. I totally feel your pain with this post.
