First outing (to the doctor)--- an adventure!

We had quite an adventure today! We had to take Sophie in to the doctor today to get weighed and measured because the hospital we delivered at he is not a registered doctor there. So Mark, Loraly, Sophie, and me headed to the Doctor around 10:20 for a 10:30 appointment. Needless to say we did not make it in time! They let us move to the back and wait to get away from the germs. I thought it was because she was screaming! She isn't too fond of her car seat yet! SO we get back there and Mark is trying to calm her down while I fill out paperwork. I finished quickly and took her---she immediately quit crying and went right to sleep in my arms! What a wonderful feeling for me and frustrating for Mark! Poor fellow...

We waited for quite sometime and then as Mark rounded the corner trying to figure out what was taking so long, the nurse came and moved us to a personal room because she said "to get away from the germs." Well, after we got into the room we found out that there was a child in the office with the CHICKEN POX!!! OMG! There were 2 other newborns there but not as young as mine! Not cool!

We finally saw the doctor. Sophie lost a little more weight and is now down to 6 pound and 13 ounces. When we came home from the hospital, she had lost 4 ounces. Other than that she was a little jaundice, so right now she is in front of the window. He said she looks great. We go back in 2 weeks and guess what----I get to call and ask for a special person and they are going to let me in the backdoor and come right in for my appointment so we can dodge the germs! How wonderful is that of our great doctor!?

While we were there he also gave Loraly a flu shot! What a traumatic experience for her and her daddy! Mark has never in 6 1/2 years been with the girls and me when they have gotten their shots! I couldn't help much because I was holding the baby. Madalyn gets to come in tomorrow and get her shot.

SO needless to say our first outing was an adventure and there won't be Anymore for quite sometime except the doctors appointment in a couple of weeks.
