A trip for three and belly.

I recently had a doctors appointment for the baby and no one could watch my boys. My sister was working, my dad was busy and Fabio had to work. I had to go to the obstetricians office with my two boys and I was dreading it. Trying to get use to this lifestyle is something I had to do. In a few months I will be dealing with three kids, I will probably being doing a lot with them since who is going to want to watch three. I sucked it up and got my bag of goodies ready. I had snacks, books that they had not read and a portable DVD with a movie that they had not seen. I was ready...I was hoping the office was ready too. I explained to the boys that mommy had to go to the doctor. They had never been with me to the doctor before. I further explained that I had to go to the doctor to make sure our baby was doing well. I told them that they will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. Lucas was super excited. Noah didn't understand or didn't care he was just excited that we were going on a trip and that mommy wasn't working. 

We set out to our journey after a few Hail Mary's and Our fathers we arrived at the doctors office. The office is located right next to the hospital where I will be delivering my baby.  It's also were I delivered Lucas and Noah. When we got there I told them that's the place where we first met. Lucas of course asked a thousand questions and Noah was confused of how we could have met for the first time there. It was quite hilarious to have Lucas explained it to him after awhile Noah just gave up and asked when we were getting to Six Flags. I was confused. "Baby we are not going to Six Flags today". He replied "oh man, I thought we were going on rides, do you have candy, I want some Candy or pasta". The fun was just beginning.  

I get the stroller out and buckle Noah in. Noah is my crazy one so I needed to make sure that he was buckled in with no where to go. We set out and walked to the building where the doctor was. As soon as we entered the building they couldn't wait to get to the elevator. Lucas was so excited that the elevator talked to us. It said it was safe to get in and told us what floor we were going to and when we had arrived and when it was safe to exit the elevator. Noah was too busy trying to get out of the stroller to care about a random voice in the elevator. We arrive at our floor and I go in with my two boys and my belly. The Barones have arrived. Thankfully there was only one woman in the waiting area and she soon was called in after we arrived.  It's like they knew to clear out the room. I checked in and took out the books. We read for a little while but Noah began to twitch in the stroller. This is when one of the older nurses came out and asked if we would like cartoons. All three of us said "yes" with such excitement you think she had offered candy. I sat back while they watched Max and Ruby. Lucas said "mommy this is for babies". I knew it was but I  explained how we needed our little guy (Noah) to be quiet. Lucas got me, we get each other and he totally agreed. Afterall Lucas knew how wild his brother could get and didn't want to deal with it  either. Not sure what I am teaching Lucas with that but at least we agreed. 

The nurse calls my name after 20 minutes. Thank God. They asked me to give them a urine sample. The bathroom was small and I couldn't fit Lucas and a stroller with Noah in it and I was not going to release him from the stroller. I said "Lucas mommy needs you to be a big boy and watch over Noah make sure he is a good boy while mommy quickly pees into the cup". Of course a thousand questions followed of why I was peeing in a cup and why would someone need my pee but I had no time to explain. I told him I would explain later and spoke to Noah. "Noah, mommy is going into that door. I am going to be so quick Lucas will look after you. He smiled and said "OK but I want a banana". I gave into him and left them right outside the door. I cracked the door so they could see me but Noah kept calling for me. I peed so fast that I don't think I even wiped. I came out so quickly with pee in my cup. Lucas quickly said "mommy your pee looks like apple juice". Noah says "I want juice". Everyone laughed. 

We were then escorted to the room and I waited for the doctor. I went and started the DVD player and put headphones in each of them. The doctor came in and they didn't even see her. They were too entertained watching the teenage mutant ninja turtles. The doctor said "these are the best well behaved boys I have ever met. Usually boys are all crazy and all over the place. "Well that's why the little one is strapped in its stroller he is our crazy one". She laughed but I was serious. 

Then I put the DVD on pause and let the boys listened to their brother or sisters heartbeat. They smiled and then asked for me to put the DVD on. I couldn't blame them, the fighting turtles were definitely  more entertaining than the heartbeat of their sibling. 

The doctor gave me a thumbs up and told me baby is doing great. I gave the boys a high five and some gummy bears. We walked out and the receptionist gave me my next appointment card. The boys said their goodbyes and they said "see you soon boys". I smiled and felt victorious. We had survived, I had survived. Fabio called at the exact moment we got in the elevator wondering how we were doing and Lucas quickly said "the elevator talks daddy the elevator talks". Noah was laughing excited to be in the elevator again too.  He noticed the voice this time. Guess that was the most exciting part of the trip for them.  I didn't care I survived and no one had a tantrum and no one left crying. Success.
