APPOINTMENTS,APPOINTMENTS
It’s a busy day today. For one MIL, baby and I just got back from doctor’s. I had an appointment for my OB-GYN for my yearly pap smear. Good thing we didn’t get lost again going there but we did get lost on which floor it was. Its very very cold out, it was around 28 this morning when we headed out for the doctor. I had to bundle the baby up real good. When we got there the baby was good she didn’t throw a fit and was her lovable self but she got tired and sleepy. As i was sitting there i was brought back a year a go when i had to visit my OB every weeks when i was near my due date. It felt strange going there not pregnant. At least I’m almost down to my pre-baby weight 114 lbs. My doctor is a man and he is quite funny he kept joking around in the examining room to make me feel relax. I hate getting pap smear and just having things done. It wasn’t as bad as i thought it was going to be unlike my previous one. He was quick and gentle, I also got to ask him why we haven’t been able to get pregnant again. We have been trying for over 6 months now, he assured me by saying that for typical couple it usually takes 6-8 months and they usually do the fertility test after a year of trying. He recommended trying out the ovulation kit called “clear blue” since its the no# 1 consumer choice. And explained that a woman can only get pregnant one day a month and there is a window open of 12 hrs to get pregnant. With that knowledge in had i called Ralph right away and told him. We will certainly try that out, I really want to have another baby while im still young and the age gap is not that far apart.
Ralph was suppose to go to Kayla’s school to volunteer for a book fair but since there were a lot of volunteers he was asked if he wanted to re-schedule and he did. We still have one more appointment for today and that is the kids check-up. For Kayla it will be her yearly physical, flu shots and for Kaitlyn it will be year one year check up that includes all the shots she is suppose to get. I hope she wont be cranky going to the doctors later and Ill make sure to ask the Pediatrician why she doesn’t have any teeth at all. A very very busy day and its just starting. I better relax while the baby is napping and the house is all quite and peaceful.

Paps suck. I’m glad yours wasn’t so bad today. Thanks for the tip about the ovulation kit. My daughter’s 13 months now and we’d like to have another before I turn 35 (I’m 34 now).
