Today was Adalyn’s quarterly Clinic appointment. We always have such mixed emotions about the day long “Doctor-Palooza.” On the one hand we’re apprehensive about the stress of it all: getting there on time, making sure we brought plenty of entertainment, food, drinks, diaper bag, etc. Then on the other hand we can’t wait to hear how Addy’s health and statistics are stacking up. We love hearing what percentile her height (51st %), weight (75th %), and head size (97th %) are. But, at this appointment we were especially worried because we knew that Adalyn was scheduled to get her blood drawn. YIKES! However, like always, we were blown away at how the staff at Children’s handled the situation. The numbing cream they used before they took the 5 viles of blood was pure MAGIC! The needle didn’t seem to bother Adalyn at all. She only became squirmy when she got tired of laying in the same spot too long. We are so thankful everything went as well as it did. I guess we don’t have to worry about our next Clinic appointment until next year! Yay!
