dreams & waiting

I'm sitting in the doctors office, waiting to find out how many babies we have. It's so exciting I think to myself, but where is that doctor? Finally he comes in, grabs his stethoscope and places it on my belly. We're waiting, and waiting, and waiting while he's moving it around. Finally he says, yep, I hear two heartbeats! What? Two, really!? That's wonderful!

Slowly I realize that's not how that's done. They don't use a stethoscope! What kind of doctor is this? And where is all the equipment and the nurse? Then I hear a dog's whine & a cat's meow. I'm lying in my own bed & the animals are ready for their breakfast. It was all just a dream.

This is the hardest part! Just waiting to find out if everything worked & we have a baby (or two or three) in my belly. The good news is that the shots have gotten to be super easy. Jack's nearly a professional now & it only takes a few minutes from prep to completion. So all I need to do is figure out how to make this week move faster...
