A Trip to the Doctor's Office

The babies went to the doctor today for their 15 month check-up. Our doctor's office has a huge fish tank in the waiting room. The babies thought it was the coolest thing ever. They had so much fun playing. All I could think was, poor fish. All the banging and squealing into the tank must have been giving those fish a heart attack.



All went well at the check up. Everyone is doing just as they should. There was no real catastrophes except for the fact that I forgot to replace the diaper supply in the diaper bag. Wouldn't you know it, they all had to poop, a couple kids even went twice. Thank goodness the office had some diapers. This always happens. I don't know what it is about that place the their bowels.
There are the latest weights and measures, although this was pre-diaper change, so I guess you could take off a couple onces.

Quinn: 21.6 lbs, 31.5 inches tall, 15% for weight and 60% for height.
Jacob: 24.2 lbs, 31 inches tall, 50% for both
Claire:19.12 lbs, 29 inches tall, 10% for weight and 15% for height.

So, looking at those weights, I'm betting that you could beat most of your girlfriends at an arm wrestle. :)

Have your kids seen Finding Nemo? I always think about that when I see a fish tank in a doctor or
dentist's office.

Glad everbodies healthy.

They are getting so big!! By the way, oh Yoda of the blog, how do I get my comments to show up on the original page (like yours) instead of having them hidden?

awww they are so cute! I'm glad the doc visit went well. :)

Shannon said...

Saw your tweet earlier... I was wondering how the visit went. Glad they are all doing great!


And I did the same thing when I took my oldest to the dr for the first time (I think she was about a week old)... I took the baby but no diaper bag. And wouldn't you know it, I needed it.

It's amazing to me the mesmerizing properties of a fish tank. Congrats on a good dr's visit!

What great shots. How fun to see with their Stats how different they are. Please tell me you have to write this down to remember. My boys have always been within 1 oz of each other in weight and a 1/4" in height......and I have a hard time remembering that until I get home. :)

Cindy said...

SO cute!! You tired, lucky lady.

Tiffany said...

Cute pictures!

I always forgot the diapers.

Britt said...

How cute! I wonder how much money hospitals spend replacing fish that died of kid induced heart attacks? ;o)

We have a 15 month appointment coming up soon here too. Should be fun, since my two year old is convinced she's getting shots everytime we walk in the building. And I always either forget diapers or wipes .. I never have BOTH lol!

They put those tanks in doctors' offices because they are supposed to be soothing. I aways feel like I have to go to the bathroom. Maybe that is a secondary effect:-)

Jenny said...

Those pics are so precious!!!

The pics are great, and the stats are helpful. People ask me all the time how big they are, and I can only respond that the rate of accelerating weights is rapidly accelerating.

Your first paragraph reminded me of that scene in Finding Nemo where the dentists niece is banging on the glass of the fish tank. Very cute pictures.

Jill said...

Amazing how fish fascinate kids so...

Congrats on the successful drs. visit!

I ALWAYS forget to "reload" the diaper bag!

You are so not alone on that one...

Also, I NEVER thought I would, but you make me want to have multiples, but I think twins would be enough.

Well isn't Claire just a dainty little thing... :)

Rhea said...

Those poor fish. lol

All of them had poops? Dang.

I can't help but think of Finding Nemo when I look at these pics. Glad all went well!!!!

Brooke said...

Popping over from SITS. Looks like you have your hands more than full! What cute babies. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I had to take the girls to the doctor today. Both girls were poopy when we got in the room and I only had one diaper. I had to drag them back out to the car to get another diaper.

Glad they are doing so well!
