Jr. and I went to the doctor's yesterday to get her one-year shots -- three, to be exact. One in each arm and one in the thigh. The doctor was pretty amazing. He prepped all of the needles, had her sit on my lap and literally, within 30 seconds, all of the shots were done. Jr. was screaming, of course, but this time I was prepared (I don't know why it took a year to figure this out): I had her suess and frog ready for her as soon as it was done. Then it was a 20 minute wait in the waiting room to make sure she didn't have a reaction.
It was actually a pretty interesting wait. There were only two other moms in the waiting room with me and get this: BOTH of them had 3 year olds and BOTH of them had 4 month old twins. They didn't know each other but obviously they had a lot in common so they were chatting. Asking each other about mini-vans and relating nighttime stories and each of them emphatically agreeing that this was it for them for kids. I would imagine!
Hubby and I are somewhat worried that could be us. Since I have to take medication to ovulate, the chances of having multiples goes up. Not drastically (10% for twins, 3% for triplets) but enough that it gives us pause. It won't stop us from going for baby #2 but I don't know what my reaction would be if my doctor told us we were having twins or triplets.
On the other hand, I think, If those women can do it and lots of other women have done it, why can't I?
But this is said when I've had a good sleep and Jr. isn't fussy, so that's not saying much...
Love the title of this post!
