Doctor and Baby Shopping
Julie's POV
Adam left yesterday for the game against Anaheim. Now that I have retired, I remember how much I really missed him when he went on road trips with the team. At least now I have Connie living next to me to give me some company. I'm sure she feels the same when Guy is gone.
Connie's doctors appointment is today and I promised her that I would tag along. Afterwards we plan to go shopping with our husband's money. Every one tells me that I need to go ahead and start buying the baby stuff so we can fix up the nursery next to our bedroom. I guess that made since and it just gave Connie and I reason to go shopping; as if we really needed a good one.
The doorbell rang just as I was getting ready to walk out the door. I opened it to reveal Connie and little Julia. "Ready to get this doctors visit over so we can shop till we drop?"
"Yeah, lets go." I told her closing the door behind me and locking it. "I'll drive." We headed out to my car and hit the road.
We arrived at the doctors office a few minutes later and surprisingly, we were taken straight back. "Could you please step up onto the scales please?" the nurse asked.
"Do I have to?" Connie complained, stepping onto them as I took Julie's hand. "Please don't tell me. All I want to know is if it is a healthy weight."
"It is a perfectly healthy and normal weight for someone who is three months pregnant" the nurse answered. "And your blood pressure?" she asked and Connie immediately rolled up her sweater sleeve. "Your blood pressure is fine as well." the nurse told he when she was finished. "Dr. Smith will be in in a moment." she told us as she left.
"Well at least that part is over." Connie told me as she rolled her sleeve back down. "I wish we had the rest over. I hate doctors."
"Me too." I agreed. "Especially when they are coming towards me with a big needle."
"I know what you mean." Connie answered as Dr. Smith walked in the room.
"Where are the men today?" she asked noticing the absence of Adam and Guy. She looked towards Julia and smiled. "And who is this little angel?"
"They have a game in Anaheim tonight." I answered.
"And this is mine and Guy's four year old daughter. Her name is Julia." Connie answered.
"I see. Well she is a very beautiful little girl." she answered.
"Thank you. You pretty too." Julia answered.
"Why thank you." Dr. Smith smiled handing the child a sucker. She turned back to Connie. "Well, how are you feeling today Connie?"
"I'm fine. What are we going to do today?"
"Not much, I'm just going to check to make sure everything is going okay and then you two can get out of here." she answered. "I guess we'll start with another ultrasound." Dr. Smith handed Connie the hospital gown and Connie quickly went and got changed. Once Connie was back, the procedure didn't take long. "The baby looks to be completely healthy. Let me wipe this jelly off and I want to listen with my stethoscope." Dr. Smith wiped the jelly off and placed the stethoscope up to Connie's stomach. "Deep breath please." Connie did as she was told and after a few more deep breaths, Dr. Smith was finished with the exam.
"Does everything seam to be going okay?" I asked.
Dr. Smith smiled at me. "Everything looks and sounds normal. There is nothing for either one of you to worry about. Connie is also leaving her first trimester, which also greatly reduces the chance of a miscarriage."
"Well that's good to hear." Connie spoke up and I nodded my head in agreement. "Would the baby be okay if Julie and I took a little shopping trip today?" Connie asked making sure that our plans would not affect the health of the baby.
"That will be fine as long as you do not over exert yourself." Dr. Smith answered as she walked out the door. "I want to see you again in six weeks."
Connie quickly changed clothes and got her appointment. After that we were free to go.
"So where do we go first?" Connie asked. "Do you still want to get some dinner?"
"Not unless you do. I'm not really hungry right now." I answered.
"Julia and I ate before we left the house." Connie answered as she latched Julia into the car. "Maybe we could get some pickup on the way home and you could come over and watch some videos tonight."
"That sounds good to me." I answered. "What do you say we head over to Baby World and see what we can find for the baby."
We drove off in the direction of the store. We arrived in no time and piled out of the car. "I want to walk by mythelf" Julia told us.
Connie shook her head. "No way. You have to hold on to rather my hand or Aunt Julie's." Connie told her young daughter. "Now whose is it going to be? Mine or Julie's?"
"Juwie's" she answered grabbing onto my hand. We walked inside the store and looked around.
"What all do we need?" I asked Connie, feeling that she would know the answer.
"Just the basic stuff. I think you should hold off on buying the clothes until you find out the sex of the baby. So I was thinking you should find the furniture and stroller today. You can have them deliver it and the guys can set it up when they get back."
We headed off towards the cribs. We looked them over until I found the perfect one. It was white with a rocker. We did the same thing until I found everything that I would need to set up the baby's room. By the time we were finished, I was completely exhausted and ready to call it a day.
"So lets go get some food to take home and we'll watch some movies tonight." Connie said then looked at her daughter. "What do you want to take home baby?"
"Happy Meal." she giggled and it was decided.
I drove to McDonalds and picked up the happy meal. Connie and I both ordered a Big Mac and fries. We headed home for a night full of chick movies thrown in with a couple of Disney flicks for Julia.
Please review and tell me what you think!
