0.4 score days into our trip (i.e. day eight)

Isaac and Mat

The three of us: Mat, Isaac (in the baby sling), and Katie

When we were discharged from the hospital on Sunday, the nurse told us to bring Isaac to the pediatrician's office today at 8:45 am for a follow up appointment. We had already planned to take Isaac to see our pediatrician in Logan, but Kenya wanted to go with us to this appointment, so we went ahead and went to the appointment. In order to avoid commuter traffic we awoke at a not-so-bright-and-early 5:00am and left the house at 6:00am. We arrived at the hospital before 7:00am, so we had time to go to the cafeteria for some breakfast. Some things came up for Kenya, so she did not come with us. We went to the pediatrician's office early to checkin. Upon arriving, we were told that they had no record of our appointment. We were also told that they would not see the baby if we could not provide custody/adoption papers. We do not currently have the papers, but our agent did email me some of the paperwork late last night. So I told the receptionist that I had the paperwork on my computer and tried to show her. She said it would work if they had a hardcopy, so I emailed the file to her. She tried opening it on her computer to print it, but it wouldn't open. She sent it to someone else, who also couldn't open it. After three of them tried, we finally asked if we could cancel the appointment and see our pediatrician when we get back home. So, it was probably the quickest doctor appointment we have ever had :)

After the appointment (and a trip to Kinkos to print/fax paperwork), I went to visit Peter Guy at Golder Associates (one of EarthSoft's clients). I visited with him for a couple of hours, then Katie and I (and Isaac) spent the afternoon at Independence Hall and thereabouts. We had several comments on how cute he is and asking how old is. As you can see in the picture above, the popular opinion is that he looks more like me than Katie :)

After some quality traffic time in downtown Philadelphia at 5pm, and a stop at the huuuuuge King of Prussia mall for dinner at the food court, we made it back home.
