My Trip to the Doctor/Merrick's Disappearing Act

Today was, yet another, trip to the Doctor's office. I am far enough along *29 weeks!* that I am going to be seeing the Dr every 2 weeks now. Things are going well with baby Tirzah and I. They told me at my last appointment that I have anemia *not a huge surprise, I've been anemic several times before this as well* and I need to start taking an iron supplement. Gross...cheeseburgers sound like a much better remedy to me. :) My Dr also told me that everything is still looking good for a VBAC, however, she does not induce in my situation *attempted VBAC* and at 41 weeks will do a section if I have not gone into labor myself. --> T Minus 41 Weeks YIKES. I about cried, even though I already knew most of this information, seeing as induction is generally frowned upon for VBAC candidates. Please keep us in your prayers, that little lady comes on her own, and follows her brother's example and arrives pre-due date. :) There could be worse news, but c-sections are no fun, and I'd rather leave that as a 1 time experience.

On a less medical, but more embarrassing, note...we went to Best Buy following my appointment just to browse around for camera stuff. We found these awesome carts that are great for keeping hyperactive little boys entertained while you shop. Merrick loved it, and so did we.

UNTIL...we stopped to look at the new iPod's. Merrick managed to escape from the cart without either Billy or I noticing. *Horrible parent moment* We didn't realize he was missing until we both noticed someone's small blond child running loose in the store. Yes, our child. Oops. He had really only been loose for about 30 seconds, thankfully. But we were horrified and humiliated all the same. How did we NOT notice? He can be very quiet, when up to no good. :) They make buckles in carts for a reason: Merrick Wilder.
