Bella's 2 year checkup

Easiest appointment ever. LOL Spend a good chunk of the morning telling Bella that we were going to see the doctor this afternoon and that she was going to weigh her and measure her and poke her belly and listen to her heart... Basically just keeping the idea that going to the doctor was just like going to the library or the commissary, no big deal, just something we had to do.

Since I was able to get her down for an early nap, she woke up at 12:15 and we headed out at 12:45 so we could drop Lee off at 1pm at his office. My appointment wasn't until 1:40, but I like showing up early. I've never been late to anything by arriving early, you know? LOL

Well, good thing we did show up early! After parking way far away, and Bella having to examine damn near every blade of grass and having to stop every time a plane flew overhead (uh, Air Force base, so like every 2 minutes!) for Bella to say, "Oooooooh! I see plane!", we got into the clinic at say 1:10. Quick bathroom stop to make sure Bella hadn't pooped. b/c that's just embarrassing! LOL And then to the clinic only to see a sign that the Pediatrics Clinic has moved. Where? Who knows! No other signage! Anywhere! Luckily, I was talking to Bella about how we were just going to wander around and see if we could find someone to ask, when some other mom overheard me (no hard feat!) and told us where to go. Whew! I knew that they were adding onto the base hospital and I guess they decided to move the pediatrics clinic, too. Now I know. :) So, we have to walk all around the clinic again, get coats back on, go outside to the main entrance of the new wing of the hospital, and find our way to the clinic. And of course, there's always new paperwork to have to fill out! By now it's about 1:20, so we're actually ontime since every appt on base, you have to arrive 15mins prior.

After the quickest check-up ever, we were out the door. :) I don't mind quickie check ups when the doc seems to be knowledgable and it's quick due to the fact that I have an awesome baby. :)
