And life is now running me over rather than passing me by. :) Two weeks ago I took Savannah to the doctor for her 1 month weigh in. I did it while Charlotte was at preschool and also ran some other errands to Wal mart etc. Well....I thought I had accomplished much and was proud that I could then take it easy the rest of the day. Well....planning does no good for a mother some days. When I picked up Char, she had a major rash all over her body (mostly where her clothes touched...but it was spreading too) If you look closely you can see it on her arm in this picture of her near the swing. She said her back itched...so I called and made an appointment with her doctor for the afternoon just incase (it was a Friday). Before I even got to the office her doctor called to talk to me about Savannah's recent trip to the Ft. Collins hospital for an ultrasound. She had some concerns about Savvy's hips popping....the results were normal (thank goodness) and she was just calling to explain it to me. I told her...."well, I will be in there in about 15 minutes for my other daughter so we can chat then." We had a laugh and proceeded with that. Of course I then had to visit Wal Mart's pharmacy after the doctor prescribed an allergy medication. So if you are counting...that is two trips to Wal Mart and the Pediatricians office in one day. This must be the norm for a mother with multiple children (and I only have 2).
As long as my girls are healthy I am good to go....so no complaints here. By the way, I believe the allergic reaction was to our new fabric softener because I had just switched to using it. It smells so good and I am so bummed I cannot use it anymore.....if anyone wants a huge bottle of Ultra Downy Simple Pleasures you are free to come grab it. :)
I also have to say how sad I am that this was our last visit with our doctor Kathryn DeHart....she moved last week and I am so sorry to hear that. I really enjoyed her.....she was there for Savannah's birth, she took care of Charlotte's burns a few years back and has been such a wonderful pediatrician to my girls and the community. I guess we will be seeing Paula (the RN) more often (which is fine cause I love her too) and meeting a new doctor in the future.
