May 6, 2008 Her first doctor appointment

Kaydence and I had to head out on our own today for her first baby appointment. We had to wait an awful long time for the doctor, but it was nice to meet her when she finally came in. She said that she was running behind because of a late appointment, and she wanted to take some time to read over the paperwork I had brought with me on the baby's medical history. I was cool with that, because I would rather her take some time to read up on it rather than ask me a ton of questions that were answered on the documents. It was nice to get to know her, and I think that she is excited to take on the baby as her new patient.

After the doctor appointment, we needed to go to Sears and Target to get some things for Kaydence. Oh, that was not the easiest thing to do...and I can't believe that I used to haul Kaylee around like that. At Sears, I needed to buy a little bath tub for her and I could barely push the stroller and carry the tub at the same time. It was hilarious, and I even laughed a few times when I was bumping into things..lol. Target was easier because I could use one of their carts, but it still would've been easier with Kaylee and Larry with me. I don't plan on going out very often without them. I still think it is too early to have her around a bunch of people, everyone wants to get close to her and show their kids how small she is. She was covered by a blanket the majority of the time to keep people away...lol. I just wanted to grab the things I needed and head home!

Dad came over tonight for a movie night. Before I had the baby, we would have Saturday Movie Nights here at the house a couple times a month. We would order food in, and pick out a movie to watch here at the house. He asked if we wanted to do it tonight, and we were up for it. We really like having family nights with him, it is simple but lots of fun to have dinner and a movie here at the house.

We got news late tonight that one of Larry's co-workers had a stroke and was sent to City Hospital. There, the physicians made the decision to air lift him to John Hopkins Hospital to get further treatment. We are both in shock because he is our age, and we weren't expecting him to have a stoke. He has had a lot of health problems in the past few months, and he is climbing an uphill battle right now. Please pray for a speedy recovery, and to keep everyone's spirits high because he is getting the best treatment possible at Hopkins. He and I were friends in college, and it was hard to hear the news that he was going through all of this. I know that God is taking care of him and his family, and we will support him through this difficult time.
