Hypo what?

So Thursday started just like any other day- Happy baby, happy mom and dad! We called the pediatrician the day before to make an appointment so we just waited to hear back form them.

9:31 ish Greg heads to take a shower

9:35 ish Morgan is changing Alex's diaper

9:38 Phone call from the Pediatrician calls

Me- Hello

P- Hi, how far away do you live?

Me- about 5 minutes

P- Great- can you come in now for an appointment?

Me- Umm...sure- I need to get ready and I can head on over

P- Oh. Well please be here by 10:00

9:40 ish Run to Greg to tell him to finish the shower quickly b/c we have to go.

I change from my lounge around clothes to something slightly more presentable- and I felt somewhat human putting on real clothes. It is amazing what the right clothes will do to improve your self image. I throw on a little color under my eyes so I don't look too drained and pale and mascara.

9:45 ish- No diaper bag set up and ready! Quick grab....ugh...change of clothes, a few diapers, wipes, paperwork...and well that is all I could think of and get quickly.

9:47ish- Alex gets changed into a super cute outfit with purple polka dotted mary jane shoes :)

9:48ish- Get Alex into her car seat (sounds easy, but this little girl is so small- there is prep work involved and about 4 towels/blankets

9:53ish- Get into the car and drive off

9:56ish- Arrive at the parking lot of the dr.'s office...and the search for a spot begins.

9:58ish- Parked and "walking" to the office

We made it! How? not really sure...but I will take it!

So we are at the office and little miss Alex is doing really well...until the time to take her temperature. 95.7 degrees. So for the next hour we work on warming her up. Warm blankets, skin on skin with dad, skin on skin and twice the warm blankets with mom- Finally we were able to get her about 97 degrees.

The Dr. said she has hypothermia so now 2 options:

Go to the hospital to stay the night to get warmed up or go home and try it ourselves.

We went with option 2- go home and microwave some blankets to keep the kiddo warm. 2hours went by and the temp was still up so we were able to keep Alex at home! I never knew a kid could have hypothermia..but apparently they can.

Here is to warm nights ahead!
