Quite the Ordeal!!!

SHOT time at the Thompson Home!! Brooke was up for her 4 month shots (three weeks late--oops) and Emily had one more and now she is completely done until she is FOUR!! YIPPEEEE!!! I made an appointment for Thursday, March 5. We got right in and they gave Emily her shots and we were getting Brooke ready--then the Dr. got called off to go to the ER--there were some burn victims she had to care for. We patiently waited in the room--hoping she would be right back!! Well, after waiting 1 hour and 10 minutes, the nurse came back in and told us she wasn't going to be back and we would have to reschedule!! UGH!!!

So this morning at 10--I took Brooke down and got her done!! When I went the first time--I just had Brooke and Emily--thank goodness because Emily is a BUSY BODY!! The rest stayed at Grandma's---thanks again Grandma!! :) Emily actually played pretty good for that hour---near the end she got restless, but overall she was great---especially for just getting a shot!! The nurse was shocked she was sooo happy!! I had my camera in my diaper bag--so we played!! :) Today when I just took Brooke down, Brandon went with me!! He wanted to be there to 'love' on Brooke!! He LOVES her!! :) I was getting Brooke ready, Brandon let Brooke play with his lizard to make her 'happy.' Brandon LOVES Brooke!!

*****Brooke's Stats at FIVE MONTHS (well a week away from 5 months)*****
WEIGHT~ 10 lbs 7 oz
LENGTH~ 23 1/2 inches
HEAD~ 15 1/2 inches

Of course Brooke is NOT on the charts, but no Thompson baby has been!! We are NOT worried!! The Dr thought I should start her on solids to put some weight on her--but I am not too concerned at all!! She is a happy and healthy!!

Holy cow! How is Emily done with her shots until she's four??!! Lucky! Kyler has his two-year appointment in a few weeks and I know has a few shots.
