A Day at the Doctor's

Full doctor's office + a million sick kids + a two and a half hour wait= ?????

Three cranky people: mommy, daddy, and baby.

What is usually a 3 hour trip to Cannonsburg (doctor, Walmart, lunch, then home) turned into a 5 1/2 hour trip.

While we waited to be called back at the doctor's, I told her to make sure she cried for the doctor when we saw him. She very happily (or would that be unhappily??) obliged. He was so patient and answered all of our questions over her tears. Admittedly, I missed a lot of information because my brain can only hold so much noise at once. Of course that's why I take Britt with me!

Thankfully she slept long enough in Walmart for us to pick up some essentials. She woke up as we were waiting to checkout, all smiles, as if three needles had never poked her only an hour beforehand.

We made it home and after introducing her to the wonderful world of rice cereal, promptly put her to bed. Although her normal bedtime is around 8 o'clock, she slept from about 6:30pm to 7:00am. I think we ALL really enjoyed that.

Today she has been very clingy...to me mostly. She had a fever earlier, but it had come down to normal before her bath. We're crossing our fingers that the sick kid that invaded the well waiting room and tried to get his little hands on Ella won't land us back in the doctor's office.

That would equal cranky mommy to the millionth power.
