Today, we had our first 3 person family outing, and it was very exciting. We got the stroller downstairs and Adira all bundled up (it is still a little chilly in Israel) and headed out for a walk to the Tipat Chalav office (the socialized medical centers for children's immunizations in Israel). In order for her to get any shots she needs for the next 4+ months we are here we need to register there. The hospital also wanted her weight checked today to make sure everything is going ok (she's doing a great job, slowly gaining weight). She has her 1st month check-up set, at which point she'll get officially registered. The nurse at the center was extremely nice - speaking hebrew slowly to make sure we understood everything and didn't even yell at us, when in new parent style, we did not bring a diaper to change her into after she was weighed (we weren't even processing that newborns are weighed in their birthday suits, and since it is only 7 minutes from our house we figured we'd change her, if need be when we got home). She did amazing - not fusing at all about getting undressed or weighed and practically slept through the whole thing. We headed home and got back just in time before a light rain shower hit. We don't have any more outings planned, but we do know now for any future outings, no matter how short, to always have a diaper and diaper cloth with us.
