6 week check

Today was my post 6 week check up. It shouldn’t have been a big deal, so I left the baby with my 2 oldest that were staying home sick today. My husband was also home in case they needed help with anything. It ended up that my doctor had an appointment that morning that lasted a whole hour! It was someone’s very first appointment for a pregnancy, and she had brought in a list of 40 (or more) questions that she had written out for the doctor. Questions like, “How do you feel about forceps?”, etc. I just can’t believe my doctor gave her the entire hour to answer her questions. She’s a nice doctor.
Unfortunately, I was waiting in the waiting room for almost the whole hour. About 45 minutes into my wait, my kids called me, telling me that the baby was crying and they didn’t know what to do. My husband had to leave in a few minutes for an assignment, and she didn’t know if she could handle him until I returned. It’s lucky that I live nearby the doctor, and I had my husband drop off the baby on his way. It worked out, except that he cried while the doctor was checking me, and my husband forgot to bring a diaper bag, socks, a jacket, or anything else for the baby. I found it all very funny. Thankfully, I was taken back into the office just after we did the hand off, and was done within 5 minutes. Isn’t that how it is?!
