Check-ups

On June 16, 2011 I took all 3 girlies to the doctor. It was Lexyn and Brittyn's 3 year check-up and Kinlynn's 4 month check-up. It was a sad day for all 3 becuase they all needed shots. At this appointment I decided, for me, it is harder emotionally to watch my 3 year olds get shots than my 4 month old. At 4 months it hurts but they don't usually put up a big fight and they can be soothed to calmness a lot faster not understanding what just happened. For Lexyn and Brittyn they knew what a shot was and that it would hurt them, and they put up a HUGE fight. I had to hold Lexyn down and yet she still managed to sit up enough to grab the needle and jurk it while they were giving it to her. It broke my heart.

Because they are 3 now their check-ups involve different things and different ways of doing stuff. This was the first appointment that they had their blood pressure taken, and got measured for heigth by standing on the floor against the ruler. I can't believe they are 3!



The nurse taking Brittyn's blood pressure while Lexyn asked a million questions to make sure it didn't hurt when her time came.
