Some Days

   I LOVE my doctor. She is fantastic! However, the wait is horrid! It probably wouldn’t bother me as much, but I have to go every other week and I know our one-on-one time is only going to last about 6 minutes. Sometimes there is a delivery, sometimes an emergency surgery, and other times the office is just behind. Yesterday I waited (in the waiting room) for an hour and a half. The time before that it was 2&1/2. But the truth is that every time I get back in my car after the appointment I am so grateful that I have such an amazing and patient doc, who is an amazing Christian. In my opinion, there are just some things that are worth the wait!

   So in my 6 minutes I learned that so far I have gained 28lbs (I am doing so much better than I did with Cadence), it’s okay to take Zantac for the heartburn, fetal heart rate is at 157, and I’ll go back again in 2 weeks… super!

Today I have 2 stories to share with you:

STORY #1
   The other day on Facebook someone posted about the pacifier gnome. Evidently this is the little man that sneaks in your house and takes binkies when you aren’t looking. I laughed about it because in the Hamilton House we have been very fortunate to do a pretty good job of keeping up with most of them along the way, although Wal-Mart has claimed a few. Plus, I know an amazing trick! If you loose a few binkies, all you have to do is buy another one, and you will find the one you thought was gone. It’s like magic.

   Okay, so I read the post on Facebook and laugh. THEN suddenly pacifiers start disappearing all over the place. No kidding! In the last 8 days we have lost close to 10 binkies! What the heck! It’s like Cady will have one in her mouth, then you look back and it’s gone. I have hunted high and low to no avail. So yesterday, while we were out, I bought another one knowing that now I would find the others… This evening after dinner I gave Cady her binky and she headed into the living room to play while I did the dishes and took out the trash. Then, by the time I finished, it was gone. I looked EVERYWHERE!!! Then, suddenly it hit me…I ran out to the garage, grabbed the garbage sack and ripped it open. After digging through all the nasty, there is was! To bad the garbage truck came yesterday. The landfill now owns about $30 worth of Cady’s binkies.

STORY #2
   Let’s face it. Hunting down binkies takes a little more out of me these days, so after I finally got all the trash put in a new bag I plunked down on the sofa for a few minutes and watched Cadence play in the floor. As I sat there talking to her and watching her play I noticed that she was looking at something very intently. She looked like she was petting something with her pointer finger. So, I looked closer… and closer…and closer until I realized that she was indeed petting a spider. She didn’t even squish it! She gently rubbed it with her little finger…OH MY GOSH!!!! So I SCREAMED and then I squished it.

Holy Cow! I'm going to bed.
