Check Up

We had check ups today. I had a "new patient" orientation. My doctor is a student. Its a teaching hospital. So she is about ten years younger than me so when she asks questions about my kids, I have a hard time not getting my feathers ruffled. For example, she asked me if Andrew was riding a bike yet. I said, no, we'll probably get him on a trike this summer. She thought that was great, but I was to remember to put a helmet on his head. She also told me to make sure he doesn't drown and to ensure proper water safety. Its a good thing she mentioned that because I was planning on letting him ride around the pool this summer while I sipped a margarita and sun bathed.
I also lied, A LOT. The doctor asked questions about Elsie: she doesn't have a bottle in bed right? Right, yeah, never do that, I especially never do that at 6am when she wakes up and I'm still tired. She's not allowed to eat egg. Right, (she has scrambled eggs at least once a week). So to cover my bases I asked, so if she were to have egg, is that because of the risk of possible salmonella? nope. allergy. Right (ha! no egg allergy then). She told me no honey either. Elsie has had her pacifier dipped in honey many many times to soothe coughs.
She then asked if my house was child proof. I was honest, I said, yeah, we make sure she's safe (insert huge bang and head crunch into the floor of the doctors office as I let go of Elsie as I was trying to get an App going on my iphone to entertain her).
Then the questions came to me, and about birth control. My form is only 96% reliable, birth control is 98%. I said, I'll take my chances. She started to get all pushy about why I wouldn't go on it. Frankly, I was blushing like a 13 year old especially since andrew was in the room. that kid has an iron tight memory and there were some words I was hoping he wouldn't say again.
that being said, andrew is short and petite. Elsie is big. No surprise. As long as I keep feeding them eggs, honey and nuts, they'll develop swimmingly.
