Doctor Appointments

Yesterday Emma and Lucy had check ups at the doctors. Emma now weighs in a whopping 35lbs. She is also tall for her age, which we have learned over the years is par for the course with our children. She had to get 4 shots. We tried to prepare her as much as we could. We told her that it would hurt and that it is okay to cry but not to go crazy. She did really well. She only cried a little bit. And of course because she was crying mommy cried also (it is the hormones). Since she did so well they let her choose a toy from the treasure box plus mommy and daddy took her to get a slurpee. She is a healthy, happy, smart 4 year old.

Lucy weighed in at 8lbs 7oz. She is growing well. The jaundice in gone and the doctor is pleased with her development. She also got one shot. She only cried for a minute. She did not get a slurpee though. Lucy is starting to sleep a little bit better. She is a bit fussy because she wants to be held all the time but hopefully she will grow out of that soon because I do not have time to hold her all the time.

It is a challenge having four but a good challenge. We are slowly getting into our routine. It is nice though to have a day where we can all stay in our pj's and not have to go anywhere if we do not want to.
