Doctor Visits...

She's a cutie isn't she???
Usually a happy, chatty, go with the flow girl... unless it's time to visit the Doctor...

Today... not such a great moment for my little Jadyn.  We went to the Ear/Nose/Throat Dr. for a very simple check of her tubes...

I knew it was going to be rough... especially when she clutched my leg just walking IN to the office.  The freak out to get on the scale... another clue. 
I would have taken a picture of this exciting occasion, but my arms... and legs were tied up around her.  As well as the nurses... while the Dr. LOOKED in her ears.  Can you picture it??? 
And if you are wondering what it sounded like... I would imagine a patient having major surgery WITHOUT pain killers wouldn't have screamed that loud!!  Apparently all is well in there, but he said we could take them out now (it's been 2 years) or wait another year and see if they fall out...  UMMMMM  obvious answer to that one... we'll wait!! 

I made Shane take her to get her flu shot back in November... I thought he should have that exciting experience with her...  You know... a little Daddy/Daughter bonding time!  (Basically he's stronger than me!)  She needs to go back in for the booster, but neither of us will do it!  We'll pretty much pay someone to take that job... any takers??

The Dentist... no better, we tried last month... didn't even get a peek in that clenched jaw.  Amazing how she could still scream like she did though.  The Dentist decided it wasn't worth trying, pretty sure he was just afraid she would bite his finger off if he actually did get in there!!

The above event was followed by our tax appointment... never an exciting experience for the "self-employed" folks out there. :(  (Insert audible gasp... when told the damage!)
*
Then it was time for Lydia's 2-month appt... (I left Jadyn home with Tayler for that one, although she did sweetly tell Lydia that her shots wouldn't hurt that bad....??????) 

Our little Lydia is peanut sized!!

Somehow she looks lots bigger in pictures, but she weighed in @ a whopping 9 lbs 12 oz!  8th percentile!  That's only 7 oz bigger than Saige AT BIRTH!  The Doctor said it was time to switch formulas...  She is a spitter...  luckily a happy spitter... hence the nickname "Spitty Lydi"... but he says she's not getting enough.  I told him we're just trying to keep her little!  :)

Poor thing only cried for a second with the 3 shots... but she is sad, sad, sad tonight!

Here's hoping tomorrow is filled with less excitement!!

You can tell our sweet Jady that she gets it all honestly from her Popa Tony. Sylvia used to dread taking me to see the doctor... apparently I would thrash around on the floor and tear the place apart or just wrap myself around a cart and scream.

Ahh poor kid... Is it better or worse than the cat episode?
