Tomorrow is Friday and we are still battling Ethan’s stomach virus. He only threw up on Tuesday but it has been coming out the other end since then. Poor little guy. I am supposed to work tomorrow, but I am going to call in sick. He needs to be at home with his mommy. I am hoping it will be better tomorrow. I called the doctor, just to make sure I am doing everything right, and they said that this is going around right now, exactly as Ethan has it. Shane is a lot better, having just a cough and some congestion ans I am still well. I felt a little off today, but I am hoping I am just tired.
We had a doctor’s appointment today and everything was great. I start going every two weeks now. It is getting closer and closer. We brought Ethan with us and he wasn’t too sure about being in the little exam room. He has a doctor phobia and I don’t know if it is related to the broken leg last summer, but he freaks out at his doctor’s appointments no matter how much I try to prepare him. He was very nervous today and very eager to leave. I don’t understand it. I just hope that he is over it by his next visit, which hopefully won’t be until he is three. I seriously have to hold his kicking and screaming body down while the doctor examines him. It’s a little bit embarrassing.
Anyway, I am ready for this to be over and for everyone and everything to be back to normal.

We took the kids to almost every appointment, and they always looked forward to hearing the heartbeat. My doctor even let Grant try to move around the wand to hear the heartbeat, once. Maybe Ethan is just a bit young?

He definitely is too young to get the doctor’s appointment thing, although he can give you a recap, including the doctor’s name of everything that happened while we were there. He gets that there is a baby inside of me and so on, but I think he is too young to get what actually happened while we were there and appreciate it. We just didn’t have childcare and Shane wanted to be there, so Ethan came along. It wasn’t too bad, but he was definitely more of a distraction than anything.
