Today was Olivia's 4 month checkup. She received 2 shots: one for DtaP and the other for Polio, according to the selective (1983) vaccine schedule I have them on. When we got there, it was hectic getting everything and everyone in the stroller, and they were both whining. Lucas now hates elevators. When we get to the receptionists, he loves them. He likes attention from women. Once we got into the patient room, they both were crying.
I had to get her totally naked to weigh her, while Lucas screamed trying to hold my legs thinking he was the one being seen by the 'evil' doctor. Olivia was a hefty 15 lbs! She is in the 90th percentile! for weight and 50th percentile for height. She's a chubby one. I have recently been only pumping about 3 bottles a day, and supplementing with formula; she is eating constantly, but the formula does give her gas. The dr. says she will just have to acclimate to the formula.
Surprisingly Lucas was worse about her getting pricked than she was! She was okay and quietly sucking her bottle by the time we left. Here are some pictures:

Oh no! Poor baby (Lucas) worries about getting shots. So, he already knows huh? WOW! That means Eddie is gonna understand it again too :(
I hate this part :(
well, lucas hasn't had any shots for a while, but he hates being seen or touched by the dr anyway. Eddie may not mind! I think Lucas was just first scared for himself, and then he felt bad for Olivia. Not sure if he knew what the shots were! good luck!
