CHAPTER THREE: The Doctor's Appt.
"Sandy, come in here quick. You have got to see this!" Shouted Kirsten out the living room window where she was playing with her daughter.
Sandy shut off the lawn mower and began walking into the house, "What?"
"Watch this. Come on Sophie do it again. Show your daddy what you can do." Kirsten coaxed.
As Sandy was watching he saw what Kirsten was so excited about, his little girl rolled over for the first time. "Aww, that's great sweetie. Good job!" Sandy said as he picked up Sophie and threw her over his head. Sophie just giggled.
Sandy laid Sophie back down on her blanket and gave her a pacifier. He stood up and walked into the kitchen. Kirsten watched Sophie for a few minutes making sure that she would fine before following Sandy.
"I can't believe that she just rolled over," She grabbed her mug from Sandy; "We should videotape it and send it to Seth."
"That's a good idea. Do you remember where we put it?"
"I would have to track it down. Are you going to tag along to Sophie's doctor's appointment this afternoon?" Kirsten asked as she walked back into the living room and made herself comfortable on the couch.
"Of course I want to go," Sandy walked by and kissed the top of Kirsten's head, "But first I need to finish mowing the lawn."
"Ok. We have to leave by 4 o'clock."
Kirsten and Sandy sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office with Sophie asleep in her car seat resting by their feet. "So this is just a check-up?" asked Sandy as he flipped through a golfing magazine.
As Kirsten adjusted Sophie's blankets she answered, "Yeah, just to find out how much she weighs and make sure everything is okay."
Just as she finished a nurse stepped out, "Sophie Cohen." Sandy picked up the car seat and followed Kirsten back into a room. "The doctor will be right with you," Said the nurse as she stepped out of the room.
"Now we wait."
"Not one of my strong points." Sandy replied. Kirsten just laughed.
The doctor walked into the room and shook their hands, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cohen. Thank you for waiting."
"Not a problem we weren't waiting long." Kirsten replied as she lifted Sophie out of her car seat.
"So she's here for a check-up correct?"
"Yes, that's correct." Kirsten answered his question as she straightened Sophie shirt.
"Let me grab this little one, I'll run down and weigh her quick." Kirsten handed her daughter over and watched as the doctor left with her.
"Where is he going? Where is he taking her?" Sandy stood up quick.
"Sandy, sit down. He's just taking her down to the scale and seeing how much she weighs. He'll be right back with her."
"Why is he going alone?"
"He'll be gone for like.. two minutes. It's fine."
"I don't know why you're being so calm. He just took off with our daughter."
Just as Kirsten was going to reply to his crazy psycho babble the doctor returned to the room, Sophie in hand. Sandy stood up quick and grabbed her, Kirsten just rolled her eyes.
"Well everything looks great. She's at a healthy weight, 9 pounds and 12 oz. I would like to see her back in a month or two to make sure that she's still doing okay, if you have any questions before than feel free to give me a call." The doctor stood and shook their hands one last time as he walked out of the room.
"I'm getting my daughter out of here." Sandy said as he got Sophie settled in the car seat and buckled her in before grabbing the diaper bag and walking out of the room.
Kirsten followed him as she picked up her purse, "Don't you think you're being a little overprotective?"
"No." he replied as he kept walking. Kirsten just giggled at her husband and rolled her eyes ad she climbed into their car.
