For those who did not see on Facebook, our family is expecting baby number 3.
We are excited but also have mixed feelings. Of course we can't wait to meet the sweet spirit coming to join us. However, the thought that we will be outnumbered is a little intimidating. We're about 12 weeks into this pregnancy. I can't wait to get a little more energy and to stop feeling so yucky (especially in the evenings).
Emilee and Logan came with me to my last OB appointment (a week ago). I figured we would manage somehow. I knew it would be hard to keep Logan from running out of the exam room (since he kept leaving when we went to Emilee's last doctor's appointment). I thought I prepared myself by bringing snack and his favorite books from the library. I explained to Emilee why we were going and hoped that she would be excited about it.
As it turned out, the most chaotic part was not in the exam room, it was in the bathroom when I had to leave a urine sample. Emilee chose to wait outside on a chair which was fine with me, but I didn't trust Logan out in the hallway, so I brought him in with me. The bathroom has a single toilet with the door opening to the mini lab area where the MA is. As soon as I sat on the toilet, Logan opened the bathroom door. Argh!! I quickly reached and closed the door (with my pants down!!). I told Logan he couldn't do that, so of course, he smiled and went right back to do it again. That time I pulled up my pants before rushing to the door. I knew at that point that I would not be able to take care of things without help. I hollered for Emilee to come help. When she came in, I told her to block the door like a statue so Logan couldn't open it. He still tried, but she did a good job...until...I was explaining to her what I was doing with the cup when she stepped away from the door to see. Logan took his opportunity. I freaked out and told Emilee to get back to the door. So she pushed against it quickly which then got Logan's finger pinched a little. Then he was crying and upset as I was still trying to just finish this "quick" part of the visit. I decided nothing else will top that for a while. What fun with two kids!! Can't wait for three.
Emilee was a little confused seeing the ultrasound at first. When the baby started moving (like crazy), she got excited. Then the doctor told Emilee the baby was excercising - she liked that. Logan didn't get it at all. They both liked getting glove balloons once the ultrasound was done. Later in the day Emilee asked if she could go with me next time I go to the doctor. I think so. We may have to leave Logan with a friend, though.
