dummies in the waiting room...

Katherine's first doctor's appointment...
~We were late because we couldn't find the pediatrician's office (duh)... I even looked up the directions online...and they had us turning at the street before the correct one... At 10:05, imagine the receptionist's face when she hears, "Umm, yes, we're supposed to be at your office for a 10:00 appointment..." on the phone... Yes, we had to call for directions...
~We get finally get there and get a lengthy sheet to fill out on our new baby... We sat in the very calm waiting room...filled with a mother and her infant son and two little boys and their mom... I got one word, our last name, filled out on the sheet when we hear the name of the infant called... Within a few minutes, we hear "Katherine..." from the doorway... I look up and see the two little boys (who are obviously not Katherine) and think, "Awww, someone didn't show up for their appointment... I don't think those boys are named Katherine..." I go back to filling out the information sheet and hear, "Katherine" spoken again...this time, with a little more urgency... I look around the room, then at Ry, and say, "ohmygosh..." Umm, yah...that would be us... :) I asked the nurse who was calling us to forgive us; we'd never heard our daughter's name called out loud before... :) Before we left, I think I saw the receptionist note "parents...not too swift" on our baby's record sheet... *sigh*
