a trip to vote and to the doctor = complete madness

A trip to the doctor and drop by the polls to vote, simple.... right? haha.

Today I went to work late because I had a neurologist appointment. I thought I would be able to sleep in, but Hannah woke up at the same time as any other day. After a quick trip to Starbucks we were off to the polls to vote. There was no on in line which was nice, so voting took all of three minutes.

After voting we were off to the doctor, which was farther away than I thought. Hannah hates the car, unless someone is in the back entertaining her. Since I was alone I was just asking for screaming. I drove to where I thought the office was, but alas I was wrong and had left the directions and address at home. I called the doc office to get directions; finally after calling them three times I was able to find them. Hannah was good at first, but quickly got bored and figured out that doctor’s visits are no fun. I don’t really blame her, I hate them too, but I needed new migraine meds and the doc was asking me a bunch of questions. Hannah decided she didn’t want to play with Sophie, didn’t want anymore Puffs, and definitely didn’t want the water I brought for her. She didn’t want to be held either. The doc gave her a 3-D brain puzzle which was neat, but that fun only lasted about two minutes. So how do you calm a bored baby? Nurse her. I really should keep count of how many people have seen my boobs because it is really amazing at this point. I just don’t F’n care anymore. I have to feed her, and it stops her from freaking out.

However…. She is in the stage where she nurses for two seconds and then pulls away, fully exposing my boob to the world in order to check out her surroundings, and then back to the boob again. The doc asked if I wanted a gown, and I almost asked “why?”. The visit was over after about 45 mins, and in the end I think I like my new neurologist. She was very patient and understanding with Hannah.

Maybe one day Hannah will like the car, and will keep busy when mommy is at appointments. Funny huh?
