The Doctor's Office - Ugh!

If you know me, you know I don't like crowded places with lots of chaos.  Apparently, I picked the wrong doctor's office.  Although I really like the pediatrician we picked, the actual office could be a reason to look elsewhere.  It's super crowded - in fact, we didn't even fit in the newborn room until some people left.  The hallways barely accommodated our giant stroller, and being in the exam room was like playing twister.  

We actually got out of the house on time - it did take an hour, but we did it.  As soon as we got into the exam room, both babies decided it was time to take a major poo.  Lucky for me, my husband got me an awesome diaper bag, and we were prepared - except for the part where they wanted us to take the dirty diaper with us???  Where are you supposed to store that????  New item for diaper bag - zip lock baggies.

Both babies have grown and have no lasting issues from being in the NICU.  We got all of our questions answered and will go back in two weeks to check the babies' growth.  

It was a chaotic afternoon and both kids are still suffering from the doctor's visit.  They are both tired and fussy.  It's amazing how one thing threw off the entire day.

 We aren't planning on going anywhere any time soon, so we dressed up to got to the doctor's.

  2. Oh my gosh! Office isn't usually that busy when I go! I promise to stop referring people now. My next new parent baby shower gift will be a "things you didn't know you needed in the diaper bag" theme. Small Ziplocks for dirty diapers and large bags for poo explosion outfits are at the top of the list!

    P.S. the pics are SOOO cute! I can't wait to meet these two in person. :)

  3. Welcome to parenthood! Hint for newborns in the dr. visit, go early in the morning if you can as it gets crowded in the PM because people get off of work or the other school kids are out. (Smile)

    Also, I got some of the diaper bags (disposable ones) from Babies R US that are scented in baby powder. Let me know if you want a box of it!! It's great since I just put the diapers in there and toss when we are outside. Also, like Jen, get ziploc bags for all of it!! We use it to separate things so it's easier to grab the whole bag when we do a clothes change or if I need to change diapers. It's all a game of test and error, or as we teach the 3rd graders...predict and test. (Smile)

    Glad you are all at home!!!
