We went to the doctor and Friday. Things appear to be progressing well. We got some more pictures and hopefully one day we will actually open the brand new printer/copier/scanner combination we bought, hook it up, and use it to send out some pictures of the Area 51 baby.
The doc visit was cool except for the part of waiting over an hour to be seen by the doctor. He gave us some sage advice; avoid Friday and Monday appointments like the plague. On Friday, crazy concerned women rush to the doctor because they are about to go out of town and want to make sure everything is ok before they leave. Mondays are bad because crazy concerned women experienced something over the weekend and need to rush to the doctor to make sure all is ok. I can make comments now because we are not that far along and the crazies have not set in too much.
At the doctors office they make you visit with all the doctors in the practice since more times than not, Mother Nature does not cooperate and women go into labor when their doctor is not on call. Therefore, it’s a good idea to meet all the doctors so you will be somewhat familiar with them if they are the one brining your bundle of joy into the world. The guy we met this time is awesome. So awesome in fact that SC would consider switching to him as her regular doctor. This guy was over the top nice and before the exam sat us down in his office and chatted with for a while before we got down to the nitty gritty. Because of the earlier miscarriage he wanted to do an ultrasound so we were lucky to get another done, apparently they are not always done at this visit.
Watching the ultrasound is incredible. The only bad thing I can think about them is that before they were invented families could not see this miracle in action like we can today. On Friday, the kid was up and moving around like crazy. Even the doctor kept commenting on how active he/she was being. We could see it moving around, you could see arms, legs, and although I joked about a paternity test earlier, it appears to be mine because it looks like the kid may have no ass. The doctor said that he could stay in and watch this little guy/gal move around all day. SC commented on how miraculous this all was and unfathomable how things work. The doctor wholeheartedly agreed which was of some concern, but his excitement and exuberance was much appreciated.
The appointment went so well we have started to leak the news out a little more. Don’t get me wrong we have not taken out an ad in the paper, but we made a few calls to our families to let them in on the big secret. We are still a little nervous, but we will keep praying things progress as they are suppose to do and hopefully in early April we will have a new addition to the family. I think the dogs know something is up as well. You can tell from the picture that Wrigley is doing her homework to make sure everything is ready.
I apologize for the long delay in posts, but we both have been wicked busy. I guess that’s about all for now. Peace out! DC
