Doctor Day

Today was a big day in the city. I woke Dekker around noon to get him fed and ready before we headed out. He was finished about fifteen minutes before we needed to head out so I pulled him out of his chair to go play but he immediately wanted up. The kid wouldn’t stand on his own all freaking day. It was a looong day.

We headed to my doctors appointment first. We talked in detail about my faintness and she asked if it was related to missing a meal. I sort of sheepishly told her that I’m more of a “one meal a day” type of person and was working on correcting that using meal planning, as was suggested by my mom. She seemed a little surprised, commented that she didn’t know that, and then said she was more than positive that was where my problem rooted from and we would focus on that and worry about bloodwork at my next appointment hypothetically. I was left with “Listen to your mother!!” Lol 🙂 I liked it.

We left our appointment and had a few hours to kill, so Brady went back to work and I headed to a nearby mall to waste some time with Dekker. We did all sorts of things! We ducked in at Telus, we shopped for shirts, we purchased body butter for half price, and we shared a booster juice. Dekkers first Booster Juice, and he LOVED it!

After we ran into some friends and chatted for a bit, Brady texted that he was close to where we were and was gonna come hang out before we had some family to meet up with. While we waited, we took some more pictures.

We grabbed a fast supper, went to visit some family, and headed home pretty quick after. Dekker slept on the drive home, and was sooo ready to be home when we walked in the door. He squirmed to get down and raced over to the fridge to play magnets. He was running all over the place, dragging toys around, completely thrilled. When I brought his bunnyhug into his room, however, he followed me, stood by his change table, and burst out crying. Someone was finished. So a diaper change and a cuddle later, baby boy sleeps.

It was a good, loaded day. Doctors appointment went really well, I’m measuring right on where I should be and haven’t felt faint in two days. Dekker and I had a great little date and discovered a new smoothie we both love. Visiting family went great and everyone is in good health. Drove home while the sun set. Couldn’t ask for much more than that! Except maybe a bubble bath and a snack…
