2 Kids + 1 Exam Room = ?

Another anxious day: taking 2 children to the Pediatrician. Alone!

Nora had zero fear of the doctor. Girl is Chatty Cathy. I liked that the pediatrician talked TO Nora and asked her questions. 

Nora is above average in height, below average in weight. She had her eyes checked by this crazy camera that worked with the lights out - her eyes look great. 

“Is she potty trained?” ... Yes. “Do you think she could give a urine sample?” Wait, what? She’s three! I said, “I can try...” So I picked up Nora and told her we were going to play a game called Peeing In A Cup. Sat her down, I got the cup ready and - success! Bizarre. Lots of hand washing. 

Hannah is up to 11 1/2 pounds - woo! Overall good in the Pediatrician’s eyes - again, the Cardiologist and therapists are the professionals who are really keeping their eyes on her. The Pediatrician didn’t have any more wisdom on Hannah’s reflux... Her suggestion was to give smaller, more frequent feedings. We’ll see if we can manage that with our schedules : P

Unexpected - another round of FOUR immunizations in Hannah’s thighs - doh! She obviously hated it, but got over it quickly. 

Nora’s tears? Wanting to play with the waiting room toys as we’re leaving. Threw a fit on the floor. Ugh. 

We made it out eventually and I survived my first pediatrician appointment with two littles!
