Doctor's Visit

The day after Savannah's birthday, I took all 3 kids to the doctor for their check-ups. Savannah and Melanie for their annual check-up and Spencer for his 2 month check-up. Here's what we found out:
Savannah: 34.5 lbs and 40.5 in tallTotal Damage: 4 shots - Now she's all ready to go to school and shouldn't need anymore until she is 11! She was not happy about this at all and cried the most out of all 3. One of her shots gave her a really nice bruise. I tried to get a decent picture of it, but it's not the greatest.
Melanie: 24.9 lbs and 34.5 in tallTotal Damage: 1 shot - She handled it rather well and got over the ordeal the fastest.

Spencer: 12 lbs 4 ozs and 24.75 in tallTotal Damage: 5 shots and 1 oral vaccine - This is not a nice way to wake up a nice, peaceful, sleeping baby. Poor little guy!

Overall, the trip took a total of 2 hours. At least 45 minutes (if not a whole hour) of that was waiting. We ended up going to McDonald's and having lunch, getting a toy, and ice cream to make us all happy again. We then took a really nice long nap!

I feel so blessed to have such healthy, happy kids!

Shot days are so not fun! Thankfully they get it over it pretty quickly.

You're a brave woman to take 3 kids to the doctor! Good job. Might as well get it all done at once. Spencer is getting so big! I'm sorry we missed you tonight at the party!
