Day of Doctors

We jet off tomorrow for 5 days at Walt Disney World with my sister's family. I plan on leaving the laptop here and not checking my e-mail until we return on Monday! (Very exciting.) We're staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort on the property, and should be having a ball all week.

I'm exhausted from the pre-trip hoopla in addition to the all-day doctor visit marathon I ran today. I had an uneventful eye appointment in the morning. Early afternoon was an OB appointment. Both babies are still looking great at 10 1/2 weeks. Since the doctor couldn't pick up the heartbeats yet with the doppler, we got another ultrasound. We saw each of them move a bit, and both hearts are beating away. The photo is on my Flickr stream - Blogger seems to be having trouble posting it right now. The baby labled "A" will be born first.

I think I'm taking this whole high risk pregnancy thing to heart. I'm more nervous about this on than I was about the last one. I worried a bit with Carina, but I never really got nervous before an appointment that something would be wrong. I totally sighed in relief when I saw both those hearts beating today. They made us an appointment with a perinatologist (a doctor that specializes in high risk pregnancies) in a week just for an assessment. So, my saga of seeing doctors all the time will be continuing. It will be about that time that I may be getting an MRI on my hand as well. (I'll complain about that some other time.)

To round out the day of doctors, I took Carina to her 2 year appointment. After a slight false start in not realizing their office had moved, we had a very successful appointment. Carina was very cooperative with the doctor, and even smiled at her once or twice. The doctor says that you can usually double the height of the child at this age to figure out how tall they'll be as an adult. Carina is 37" tall. Do the math - that's 6'2"! Wow. Maybe she'll be the volleyball star I was never tall enough to be. :)
