DAY 12 #21DAYSGRATITUDE


It's flu shot #2 for Babyroo.  This morning, we prayed for a gentle nurse to administer the vaccine.  And it's an answered prayer.  How did God answer our prayer?  Through series of events to be grateful for:

1) Clear traffic.  Papahroo had to be in the office before 10AM for his meeting.  We planned to be out the door by 8AM but decided to eat breakfast as a family first and ended up leaving by 8:30AM.  To our surprise, the traffic was very light.  OH YEAH ... it's a federal holiday to honor the Veterans Day (which fell on a Sunday this year).

2) Wrong room.  Looked like a busy day at the hospital.  Once we arrived at the parking lot, we didn't bother to put on the Ergo and just carried Babyroo.  Guess what?  The line at the pediatrician office was LONG.  We finally made it to the counter only to be told that we got the wrong room.

3) Right timing.  Now that we were at the right room, the line didn't look too bad.  Not even 2 minutes after we sat down, a group of students came lining up.  I guess because it's a holiday, schools are off too.  Good timing for the students to get their shots.  If we put on that Ergo, we could easily be bumped up from the fifth in line to the twentieth.

4) Gentle nurse.  She was so gentle and made Babyroo so comfortable.  He only fussed for 1 second; then he looked my way to ask for his Sophie.  Instantly, he became a bouncy baby again and gave the gentle nurse a big smile before leaving the room.

5) Papahroo.  Ever since Babyroo was conceived, Papahroo has not missed any of the doctor's appointment.  Even if it means he had to be 15 minutes late to his meeting today.  He has always been there to comfort Babyroo and support Mamahroo.  Papahroo rocks!!!

What are you thankful for today?  May this be a blessing!  Until tomorrow!
