A family affair…

Yesterday we had a 14 week 1 day baby check with my OBGYN. Since we didn’t have to work (for the most part) we had G with us. G understood that we were headed to the doctor and asked who was sick. After asking her if she felt fine, we explained since everyone was feeling well we just needed the doctor to check on the baby. She thought that that was a good idea. The appointment was brief. After saying that everything looked great and that there are no concerns with the blood work my doctor informed me that my Rubella vaccine was out of date/not registering or whatever. I told her I knew that because I never had one. She was taken back a bit. She told me don’t go off and catch it because it’s really bad for the developing baby. So, now I can officially scratch that off my list – “Get Rubella”. Though I like my doctor she makes some odd phrased comments sometimes. Anyway, the remainder of the appointment was straight forward. We all got to hear the heartbeat! G even later mimicked the shwa-shwa sounds J Before we left the exam room G told the doctor that we need to get the baby out. She instructed me to push-push. The doctor explained that the baby has a lot more growing to do, but when the time comes the hospital staff will know what to do. She seemed satisfied with that. We packed up and started to head out to the car. Just as I was really appreciating how much G is/has grown, she informed daddy that she needed to go potty. There was a pit stop on our way out of the building; we had a successful use of her first public restroom toilet. Wow, she really is my big girl!

G was well behaved and so cute about everything. I’m really glad we got her involved early.
