Lesson learned....don't over schedule your morning

Some how I scheduled two appointments this morning. One was with WIC that all three kids had to be at and the other was a 2 month checkup appointment for Cassidy. I think when I scheduled the WIC appointment it was before I had Cassidy because I scheduled it a 9:30 in the morning!!! What was I thinking? We don't get movin' until at least 10:30 and there is no way we are showing up anywhere before 11:00 a.m. Well, at the appointment we all had to get our fingers pricked. Lacey just went bonkers. I guess I didn't forewarn her and that was the problem. She knew Cassidy was getting shots today because she was telling everyone she saw but she didn't know she was going to get a teeny tiny poke on the finger and I think that made her more mad than the actual pain of the prick.

Cassidy did great at her appointment. She had 4 shots. Aidan and Lacey both watched with their hands over their ears. Strangely Aidan laughed the whole time Cassidy was screaming with pain. He might grown up to be one of those people who laugh when people get hurt. But Cassidy didn't cry long. Lacey cried from her little finger prick longer than Cassidy did. Cassidy is now 12 lbs. 10 oz. I can't believe she has grown so big so fast. I love it!

So I am completely exhausted from my morning of appointments. I will NEVER do that again!

isn't that weird that you don't have anything going all week and then one day you are jammed packed with appointments. I wish i scheduled and spread them out better. Poor little finger prick. Eliza is afraid of anything she thinks is a DR. We went to Chuck-i-cheez and they wanted to stamp her hand, she about flipped out.

I remember having to get the finger prick for WIC too. I know tom hated seeing the blood sucked up.
you need a personal secretary to make sure you are not overbooked one day.

I don't care where you're going or what time you are supposed to arrive, moving a mom and 3 children under 5 is a humongous task. The doctor thing is terrible at any age. When was the last time you looked forward to going to the doctor. My sympathies are with Lacey. Love mom
