doctors visit



yesterday the kiddos had doctor's apts.
getting shots is not fun for anyone. 
another thing that is not fun is waiting 2
hours in the waiting room with all of the sick babies.

gabriella insisted on standing on a baby chair 
to look into the fish tank.
she also made friends with every kid under about 4.
she also was enjoying one babies socks and 
looking in diaper bags, or anything she could get her little hands on! 
thank goodness my mom was with me, because 
i just don't think i could do it with both of them at these ages.

one good thing about the visit was we got to see one of gabriella's 0ccupational therapists in the waiting room.  She helped gabriella learn how to suck with the bottle while she was in the NICU. She has a precious 5 day old baby girl.  It was so great to see her. We are so blessed to have met so many genuine, caring people while gabriella was growing.  I thank the Lord everyday for gabriella's life with us. 

So at the visit gabriella was supposed to get her second flu shot, which she didn't end up needing and then jake had to get his 4 month shots, but most importantly it was WEIGH IN TIME!!!
gabriella weighed in at 19 lbs. 9 oz. 
jake weighed in at 16 lbs. 1 oz.
Jacob thinks jake will weigh more than gabriella by their next apt. in two months! 
We'll see.
So after all was said and done, 
we walked into the office at 2:30 and we were leaving at 5:05! 
what a visit!!!
