a trip to the doctor

has anyone ever wondered what its like taking 9 kiddos into a doctors office :) some people may call me nutty but i actually enjoy it. today we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our time with our pediatrician. what a great doctor he is. he is so thorough. he will explain everything to me. and to the kids. which i love! he talks to each of the kids. he even lets me bring my concerns list in with me for the other kids that arent being seen. and i had quite the list today! he genuinely cares for us. he even heard the kids' birthdays announced on the radio. the big bonus is him being a christian. and when i told him we are wanting to adopt he got so excited! its nice when we get excitement and positive responses.
i like to take the kids in once a year for a physical. i love seeing how they are growing. so todays visit consisted of a physical for the birthday kids, roger and josephine. both are doing excellent. he ordered an xray for the bump on rogers foot for my peace of mind. he thinks its nothing. he reevaluated savanahs scoliosis. it has not gotten worse. he also checked josiahs lungs because he is prone to wheezing. and from there we walked to the shot clinic. josiah was due for his second hep a shot and roger was due for his tdap booster. a few tears from the baby. nothing a drink from mommys smoothie couldnt cure :) and roger was such a little man! i could tell he was so nervous. but he didnt even flinch. and he has not stopped talking about how it didnt hurt. everyone got stickers and then we were on our way...to the pharmacy that is. one more stop. we got josiahs albuterol refilled before cold season sets in. he has cold induced wheezing. praying he grows out of it like zaccy and the twins did.
an hour and 15 minutes later we were on our way! the kids were sooooo good i had to treat them to 59 cent ice cream cones from kfc. so all in all it was a good day and a great trip to the doctor.....just in case you were wondering what a trip to the doctor with 9 kids was like :)
