1st Dr. visit

We had our first doctor's appointment today to confirm our pregnancy. Luckily, not much happened other than that. Uneventful dr. visits are the best kind! Baby Watson is still too little to hear the heartbeat, although I insisted they atleast try!

AGW is enjoying her new big girl bed and the freedom to roam. She is such a nightowl like her daddy! We hear her digging through her closet 2 hours after we put her to bed! I've decided that as long as she can get herself back into her bed, she can play until she is tired. I check on her at the end of the night and find her closet door wide open and a sprawled-out wildchild at the wrong end of the bed. In bed with her are all of her goodies: dirty clothes, clean clothes and their hangers, a diaper for her baby, 2-3 babies and bottles, several books, and whatever else she needs from her toy box. Each night I attempt to take all of her goodies off of the bed without waking her. I love it. She makes me laugh.

If she wakes up before me in the morning, I usually find her lovingly taking care of her babies again. All of this independant playtime in her room has made her so much more content to play by herself. It seems to set the tone for the rest of the day.

Carey finished up his Family Medicine Rotation and I am anticipating the typical Sunday night stress. Sunday nights are not good for him. The stress of the upcoming week settles in and the carefree weekend slips away. I feel useless and hate that I can't make it better. Usually it spreads to me and I find something to stress about along with him. This Sunday could have melt-down potential. The realtor is coming that afternoon to tell us all of the things we still need to do, plus Carey will start his surger rotation Monday. He's been away from this kind of pressure since October, so it may be a tough adjustment. I am welcoming the idea of some structure and routine back into our lives. We'll need the structure to get through all of the fun chaos that we have coming up! Only 19 days til Match Day!!!!! OH, I also have an appointment the day before the Match so we'll get to actually HEAR this sweet baby's heartbeat!
