This post is a little behind but I still wanted to document our trip! I have never thought of myself as being claustrophobic until this doctor visit. 3 weeks ago Sailor and Brighton were scheduled for their checkups and I thought the timing was good, we would just kill two birds with one stone and go at the same time...wrong answer! Try squeezing Joe, me, Sailor, Brighton, two nurses, and the doctor into a 6 x 8 room with two plynths and a sink. Maybe that would not have been too bad except Sailor screamed the entire time. I explained to our pediatrictian this was very atypical for her. He really did not acknowledge me and never missed a beat with his questioning. Needless to say next time we will just make two trips to the doctor. As I said in an earlier post, Sailor is doing excellent with potty training. The nurses wanted a urine sample so off we went to go potty carrying our "special little potty" to capture the urine. I guess Sailor had stage fright, she could not go. So for the remainder of the visit she wanted to go back to the potty to use the "special potty" which really meant she wanted to go play. This only lead to more screaming each time we left the bathroom unsuccessful. Finally she did go potty and we collected the sample. Dr. Fogle asked if she was weened from the bottle and we said not at night and naptime...So she proceeded to screem "I want bottle", I am sure he thinks we are lying about that. He asked if she is putting 2-3 words together while she is screeming "I need to go potty and I want my bottle" I am not sure why he could not answer that question himself. Anyway Joe answered Brighton's nurse and I tried to keep up with Sailor's. I am probably exaggerating a little but it was not a good experience.

Too funny!! I know you were ready to be outta that place & I don't blame you for at least trying, seems like with a newborn you are at the Dr. all the time!! Mark mentioned today "Why don't u plan on gettting baby #2's one year appt & Megan's 3 year on the same day next year." I told him to read your post and we might rethink that!!
