1 yr check up
Yesterday was Harper's 1 year well baby check up. I thought I had all my bases covered. Got there on time, checked in, lots of toys in the diaper bag. I just knew we would be called back right off the bat because I had scheduled this appt weeks ago. Well, I don't know WHY they scheduled me at 8:30 because later when checking out the receptionist told me that the doctor doesn't get there till 9:00!! So, we waited. At first, patiently. But as the minutes ticked by... NOT so patiently. I quickly realized that Harper would no longer just sit in my lap and play/chew on toys... now, it was walking/discovery time! GRRREAAT! I spent my time chasing after her as she wanted to walk over to the sick child waiting area...(which they should have an actual closed off door between each area by the way)... and threw every open door! Her discovery time was my workout/frustration time. Thankfully after multiple snatch and catch, bouncing, singing songs while she flopped around in my arms like a fish... we were finally called back.
She was weighed, measured, stripped down to her diaper, and poked 4 times w/ needles!
Harper's outcome... 75th in weight, off the charts in height, and healthy as a horse.
Mommy's outcome... a little more weary, a tad bit more frazzled... but happy to have a healthy little toddler!
