Not So Much Fun

Yesterday we went to the doctor and all was going well - we didn't have to wait forever, they had our records on hand, the doc wasn't running late, there weren't any disgustingly sick kids in the waiting room wiping their snot on Brighton, it was all good. And then it just went downhill from there. First, I'm slightly embarrassed because B has a poopy diaper that I didn't notice until the tech went to get her diaper off to check her weight. Then, we're sitting in the room and I'm talking to the doc and B drops her rattle, so I lean forward to get it, causing her to bump her head on the counter. So now she's screaming while the doc is trying to poke and prod her - fun! I finally get here to calm down, and we have to go get shots! Now she's screaming again, but luckily I had a bottle ready, so the cries from the shots only lasted 20 seconds. She's not crying, but her face is all red, tears streaming down her face, and the fun still isn't over! The doc wanted B to have her hips x-rayed - she said her legs don't line up perfectly and wanted to x-ray them to make sure it's not something serious (we got the results today, her hips are fine, no big deal), so now we have to go back to the main clinic, wait in another waiting room, and when we get in the room I have to hold her legs down so that she lays perfectly still. B didn't cry and it only took a second, but she definitely wasn't enjoying herself. We finally get to leave the doc and head home for an afternoon of laziness to recoup. Oh, did I mention on top of all this that she's teething? Luckily today she seems back to her happy, smiling self - thank goodness!
