Well, after having to scroll through my Blog Roll to the BOTTOM because
Moni hasn't posted in 6 days, I found her blog, went to an old post, re-read the comments and the word for the day is, in
Jac's phrase, leverage!!
I am going to leverage a little bit from
Jenna's post and a little bit from
The Carlson's post.
We had our 5 Month check up and Synagis shots today! And I know a lot of the blog readers are from the North, but in Mississippi it doesn't get cold and 29 to us is like freezing, cancel school, shut down the airport, we just don't know what to do! Well, it was 29 this morning as I loaded the Fab 4 in the mini! (Come on Jenna, you gotta go big!!) I let them wear their sweet little footy pajamas because I just couldn't bear to put them in something cutsie that wasn't as warm, wrapped them in a blanket and covered them with another that my mom made. (Thanks, Me-Mom) Needless to say, they were sweating by the time we made it to the doctor's office 30 minutes away. Mrs. Brenda a/k/a wonder woman met me and the babies there and helped us in the back door along with a few nurses who dropped everything and came out to help! (THANKS!!) We were able to get them all in the buff, get them weighed, assessed and then the dreaded shots!!! Lauren, I told you she was smart, started crying as soon as she saw Nurse Alberta, the one that always gives them their shots! It cracked me up that she remembered her! So, here's the weights, dimensions, calibrations, etc.....
