What a Day

This morning i had to take both boys to the doctor. Carter had his 3 year check-up and Brody's 2 month check-up and shots. I had my mom go with me and thank God i did because wow it was definitely hectic! First of all, i wanted to talk to the doctor about the vaccinations because i have been feeling really uneasy about giving all of them at one time to Brody. So the nurse gave me some info sheets to look at and the pediatrician took her time coming in the room. By the time she came in, Carter had had enough! He was just so bored and tired of waiting. He could not sit still and kept turning the light on and off, trying to open the door and escape, dumping crayons on the floor, etc. Finally, the ped. came in. When she came in, Carter was in time out because he hit Brody on the head. He was screaming at the top of his lungs! After his time out, my mom took him back out to the kids waiting room while the ped. looked over Brody and answered my questions. Then while the nurse came back in to give Brody his shots, she went in another room with my mom and Carter to give him his physical. He had pinched his hand on the flusher in the bathroom right before the physical and screamed the entire time. Brody was also crying because he just got his shots. Ugh..what a morning. I'm just so glad i scheduled early in the morning and got it over with. In all the madness and insanity, i forgot to write down the boys' stats. I remember that Brody is 12ish lbs and 23 1/4 in. Carter is 35 lbs and i think she said 34 or 36 in. Bad mommy i know! Anyways, i'm just glad it is all over! I'm definitely getting a sitter for Carter when i have to take Brody for his 4 month check-up!

Second Dr. Appt.

I haven't posted in a while, just because i haven't felt that anything i have to say is interesting enough to take the time to write it all down. Anyways, i had my second dr. appt last Wednesday and everything looks great! I had to get the exam, get blood drawn, answer 500 questions, etc. Then the dr. tried finding the heartbeat with the doppler but couldn't find it so naturally i was freaking out even though she told me she thought it was too early but wanted to try anyways. So she took me over and did a quick ultrasound to show me that everything was okay. The baby was moving around a lot and i got to see the heart fluttering and hear the heartbeat. It was 170 bpm so very strong!! Oh, if i could just have the next 8 weeks fly by so i can find out the sex of the baby! I am going insane! I am 12 weeks 2 days and have felt pretty good except being extremely tired but the past week or so i've gotten some energy back. Today, though, i passed out at work....UGH, i did it when i was pregnant with Carter, too! I had low iron with him and had to take extra supplements. I had gotten to 12 weeks without passing out so i thought maybe i'd be okay this time. Oh well, i'd much rather pass out than puke! Anyways, that is all i have for now!
