Cyrena LOVES going to my dr. appointments. She is such a habitual girl and the routine of the visits just suits her fancy. She is a very active participant in the whole process. I thought I should document what we do every month (every 2 weeks now!) so that I can remember this special and fun time with her.
When we first get there, Cyrena goes directly to all the toys. Then we take a break from that and use the restroom. This is where she proceeds to tell me to go peepees in the cup so that the Dr. can look at it. She can't resist taking a peek herself when I'm done. Afterward, she takes a turn on the potty.
When the nurse calls me back. I slip off my shoes and step on the scale (oh joy!). After I'm done, Cyrena follows suit by taking her shoes off and climbing on the scale to the oohs and ahhs of the nurses. I think Cyrena has maybe gained 1 pound this entire pregnancy....if only!
When we get into the examination room, she climbs on the extra chair and has a snack or some water. That lasts about 2 minutes before she's ready to explore the room.
....stirrups are so tempting....
After checking "my baby's" heartbeat then it's Cyrena's turn to hear "her baby". The doctor puts "the glue" (as she says) on her belly then he finds her pulse close to her belly button so she can hear an actual heartbeat. So while she thinks she's hearing "her baby's" heartbeat we all know it's just her own. What a sweet doctor, huh? He is great at indulging the kiddos.
You can tell he's posed for a lot of photo-ops huh?
I forgot to get pics of what we do after we leave the room. We come out, she goes and picks out a gigantic sticker and a package of fruit snacks. Then we head up front to check out where I get to pick a chocolate from a jar. This office really knows how to treat their patients
(and their kids)!
So, as you can see, I have a funny daughter who is constantly making me smile and keeping life interesting....I wonder what this next little princess is going to be like.

so cute! and welcome to blogger! =)
That is so funny! What a cutie Cyrena is! Welcome to the blogspot!
Love her face in that 2nd picture with the doctor. So cute!
What a great doctor! I have never thought to bring kids to those appointments. We brought Carson to the ultrasound, but that was it. Maybe it will be good for her when she is pregnant and she can look back on her fun times with her mom! :)
(And I am glad you switched too...it would never let me leave comments on your other blog!)
Wow, I'm so impressed with your doctor's office. Mine has signs all over that say, "because of the nature of our practice, please do not bring your children with you to your visits." I've brought Kate quite a few anyway and they are all so nice to her, but definetly not like yours-- I wish I got chocolate at every visit :0)!!!
That's so fun what a neat thing to document!
It is getting colder here! But it's really pretty so that's always a plus! Anyways, I love your blogging ablilities, I think your the best mom ever!
What a friendly doctor's office. They aren't that kid friendly even in Utah, and they give you CHOCOLATE! I'm definately in the wrong state.
