The Heart-Beep

Today I had another weekly visit to my Doctor. A friend of mine was kind enough to watch my kiddies while I went. It was supposed to be super quick, but turned into an extra long wait. Usually I barely have enough time to get in and settle the kids before they call me in to see my Doctor. I sat and looked at their new sign that read "Please ensure your children play QUIETLY".  I laughed in my head because I was pretty sure this sign was put up after our last visit. Hyrum screeched pretty good when we left the toy corner. I then watched the waiting room practically clear out twice and finally got brave enough to ask what was up. These hormones have been kicking my butt lately and I almost cried at the front desk over my 1 1/2 hour wait. Turns out they forgot to move my file to the back to be called in, so I didn't even really exist. This explains why all the 11:00 appointments to see the Doctor were in and out before my 10:15 appointment. 

The appointment was quick and easy. Baby's heart rate was at 136. A boy maybe? We've pretty much agreed on girls names, but boy names have been a little tricky. Names are always stressful for me. I want them to have meaning, or to be family names so that they have someone to look up to or feel proud of. This whole name game is starting to stress me out a bit though. He then asked a bit about my birth plan and scribbled some notes before ripping off a copy of my prenatal papers. I am now 36 weeks and baby could potentially come at any time!

I was definitely grateful to know that my kids were being taken care of. Camilla loves my friends little boy, and tells me so all the time. When I left the appointment I went quickly to take my kids off her hands. They had a lot of fun! On our way home Camilla was telling me about how they played doctor and she checked her patients "heart-beeper" because she had the "coughs".  I smiled and laughed out loud. I love that kid. She called it a "heart-beep" the rest of the way home as she chatted away.
 

Tonight we are picking up Daddy from work and then driving to Calgary for a mini-vacation. We booked an awesome hotel and are looking forward to going to the Temple open house tomorrow with the kids! So excited to be able to spend time with Mr. Stannix this weekend!
