Doctorie

I had to take the girls to get their blood tested today. I really think that Auri might have celiac disease too and I thought we might as well have Eden tested at the same time.

We had to wait in the waiting room for like a half hour. I entertained Auri by looking out the window at all the things outside. We looked at all the colors of the cars and counted them. Then we named all the people walking into the building. My favorite was a little girl she named "tinkerbell". Then she proceeded to hide under the chairs, which ended when she started going under other peoples chairs. At this point an oldie gramps got up and moved away from us. She then ate every single one of Edens baby puffs and dumped puff dust all over the chairs.

I was relieved when they finally called our name......not for long though.

The room was small with 5 cubicle stations for drawing blood. Crowded to say the least, and then here I come with my two kids, a mondo car seat and a diaper bag spilling over with things to entertain and distract my varmints. People were looking at me like I was crazy. I was.

When we sat down Auri finally realized we were there for her and that pain was involved. She started crying. I then had to try and console her for about 10 minuets and just as I get her distracted a teenage girl comes up and says to Auri, "See look, it didn't hurt", which just scares Auri more and she cries even louder. Thanks!

Two nurses and I got to hold her down. Finally blood was flowing and soon enough she was done. I thought the crying would stop-it didn't.

At this point a nice granny notices the "fun" I am having and graciously helps me distract Auri. She talked to her about swimming, bikes, jelly beans and preschool. Thank you sweet granny. You really helped me more than you even realized- and help I needed because I was fighting back the tears as they were poking and prodding my second baby. They actually had to poke her twice-the first time they couldn't get the blood to flow. Sad.

Finally we were done.

Auri grabbed her jacket and loudly said "Lets get outta this place!" I'm sure I wasn't the only one who agreed with her completely!

When we were almost to the car she then said-"that place is just too doctorie". Yep, it was.

Way too doctorie for me too.

We should have the results pretty soon. I'll keep ya'll updated.
