A Very Busy Tuesday

Tuesday was a very busy day for the Gornstein girls. After breakfast, Mommy took Clara and Emma on a morning walk and visit to the swings. After their nap and when Cheri arrived, Mommy went to the gym and came back to take Clara and Emma to Musical Munchkins. Clara and Emma enjoyed seeing their new friends and playing under the parachute and popping the bubbles, but by far, their favorite thing is being lifted up high in the air. Mommy had to wake them up from their nap, which is unusual, since they pretty much sleep for one hour. But not today. Mommy and Cheri took Clara and Emma to the doctor for a shot and blood test. At this doctor, they don't weigh you every time, but Mommy wanted to know how much Clara and Emma weigh a week short of 11 months. Emma weighs about 17 lbs 13 oz (with a diaper) and Clara (with a diaper and squiriming), about 19 lbs 6 oz. Mommy hopes that Emma comes in around 19 lbs and change at a year and Clara at about 21 lbs, both of which will be great! Clara cried and cried for the duration of the blood test and shot. Emma, suprisingly, didn't cry, and was more interested in the shiny band-aid. Yes, it is true, not a tear. Mommy and Cheri were shocked. After the doctor, Mommy stopped to buy formula and to pick up a prescription. After dinner of fish, spinach pancake and watermelon, Clara and Emma had a quick bath. Baths are quick these days because both ladies enjoy standing, which is scary to Mommy. The girls drank their bottles and went right to sleep.
