I swear i only have time to update on weekends in the early morning. However, i do read journals throughout the week. I slept in a bit today, so Colette is already stirring in her bed.
Thursday we did a marathon of appointments for Colette. It's been snowing here, which is kind of strange for this late in February. So we got up Thursday, and it looked like a disaster out there, so i made sure we left an hour before the first appointment, which, i guess it is about 40 minutes away. So her first appointment was at 9am, it was her 18 month checkup. We did make it there a few minutes early. They annoy me, they give you this huge packet of paper to fill out about your child's development while you wait. Like cool, i get it I work in this field, it speeds things up. But even my pretty well behaved child is going to tear this place apart while i fill this out, so like is it worth it? I got like 1 page done between asking her to stop being crazy and making sure she didn't run off or get kidnapped by the time they called her back. She got 3 vaccines, which she did well, she cried, but as soon as i picked her up she stopped, and then they have her an otter pop lol. But wee got out of there asset like 9:40.
Her second appointment wasn't until 11, so we swung over to my work so she could meet everyone. They loved her. We hung out there for like a half hour.
We headed to her cardiology appointment and got there a bit early, too. Luckily they didnt have dumb paperwork. So we did an EKG. Okay, holding an active 18 month old down to stick 10 stickers to, make her calm and run a test is stupid. Lol so i held her down, the girl stuck the things to her, and that's when her pediatric training came in. Simple, she blew bubbles at Colette, happy child, test ran, game over. Next she had an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of her heart. She did great for that. She sat on my lap, ate cheerios, and watched frozen. She gota good bill of health and he said she never needs to come back!
After that was her 12pm dental appt across town. I didn't mean to schedule like that. So i called when we got out of the cardiologist and asked if theyd still see her, they said yes, so we rushed over there. She has 16 healthy little teeth, 4 to go. She got a new rubber ducky there and was quite happy.
After that she fell asleep in the car while i drive, but decided what to do for lunch, i decided to stop in the next town and wake her to eat, so we tried out firehouse subs. I liked that they had grilled cheese for kids, she doesnt like lunch meat. After that i figured shed fall bavk asleep for the hour drive to her next appointment, but now she stayed awake the whole time.
We got to her ophthalmologista little before 3. She was so happy to see him lol. Only appointment she was like that. They dilated her eyes looking for this one syndrome, to see if her pupils are two different sizes. But then idk what he said. So he either said she does have waardenburg syndrome, which i doubt, she only has 1 or 2 symptoms. Or she has horners syndrome, which she has 2 or 3 symptoms of. Or he literally just said the actual term for having two colored eyes, heterochromia. I dont honestly know what he said. I haven't called, because it doesn't really matter. She eventually needs surgery for her ptosis and I'm really hoping her eye color stays the way it is. We go back in August.
After that we went to my grandmas and then out to dinner at black Angus. So good. We headed home late, on purpose to miss rush hour, so wee got home about 745. It was a long day.
This weekend we've done a lot around the house. I picked up a thing at hobby lobby to rework the coffee bar
I have a few more decor things to go above it with the ampersand, and need to decide what i want in the baskets.
I also was going insane with the ridiculous pile of shoes by the front door, so we were looking on Pinterest, so Martin went and looked in the garage and found something he could use, so he converted this box i had made for shoes into a shoe shelf.
Feels so much nicer in here. I hate clutter so much.
Anyways, Colette is going to get pissed if i dont get her up soon lol.
