First Shots

Yesterday we went on an adventure to the doctors office. I am here to tell you that it is alot of work to get three babies fed and in their car seats and to an appointment at a certain time. It took longer that I thought. We got there though. At the doctors they got all checked out and they got their first immunizations. They got three shots each. It was awful. I always had a hard time watching the girls get their shots and this time I had to sit through three times the trauma that was inflicted on the boys. They also got weighed and measured. They are all growing so fast. Aiden weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. and was 17 1/2" long. Brock weighed 5 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and was 16 3/4" long. Collin weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 17" long. It is amazing how fast they are gaining weight.

Life the last few days has been a little crazy. Matt left Tuesday, but his mom was here until yesterday. It was so great having her here and helping out. It was wonderful. My mom stayed last night to help me and she will help me again tonight. I can hardly wait for Matt to get home so he can start helping me with the feedings. It takes about an hour and a half from the start of one to get through all three of them. Aiden and Collin eat pretty fast, it is Brock that takes a little longer, but he is definately getting faster than he was. I am also canning fruit cocktail and peaches. I don't know what I was thinking when I asked my mom to pick me up some fruit in Brigham City. Thanks to my mom, we have done 28 quarts of fruit cocktail and tonight we will hopefully do 7 quarts of peaches. What would any of us ever do without moms. I know I wouldn't survive. Thanks Mom.

You are amazing!!!! I was wondering how on earth you got all 3 babies to the doctor. I hope your mom was able to help with that. Plus you are canning. You are wonder mom, and don't let anyone tell you you're not (especially yourself!) =)
