On The Road Again…

Today has been hectic and LONG. I had go to a OB/GYN appointment at 11:30 so I could get my IUD removed. Ian and I are finally ready to have another baby. Since my IUD was hormone-free and just made out of copper, I’m hoping it doesn’t take too long to get knocked up. When it comes to us, we’ve been the classic case of Fertile Mertile. Our families have been pretty adamant about us not having anymore, but it’s our decision. There’s no way I won’t be able to finish school just because I’m adding to our family. Even though I’m going full time, it’s still just two days a week.

After the OB/GYN, we had about 3 hours to waste before Mariah’s dentist appointment. My mom bought us lunch at McDonald’s and the kids ran around like hooligans until 1:45. When we got to the dentist, Mariah immediately burst into tears. This continued up until they finally called her name at 3:30, a full hour after her scheduled time. The entire time the doctor worked on her mouth she screamed and cried. Luckily the dentist is a very patient man. Poor baby had to have a tooth removed. The upside (the only upside), is she had her first visit from the Tooth Fairy!

So yes, quite an eventual day. And as soon as Ian got home and we put the kids to bed, we made it even more eventual and took advantage of me being IUD-free. ;)
