This morning I put Kate down and decided my appearance needed some attention. I had just finished painting my toes (bright pink) and was working on my nails when the earthquake hit. Unfortunately I was planning on getting into the shower right after and had already stripped down. Oopies Dasies! Everyone's worst nightmare. Somehow I was semi-dressed and had Kate in my arms and running down our 3 flights of stairs in about 30 seconds. Impressed? And I didn't even get nail polish on anything! I called Matt and told him he had to come home and then the phone died. My Knight in Shining Armor arrived 5 minutes later to calm us down! Something about living on the 3rd floor and having a tiny baby really made me upset this time. But, all is well. I am keeping my shoes close and my clothes on tonight!!!
Since I made Kate's 2 month appointment a month ago, I have been dreading July 29th to arrive. I felt a little comforted knowing we would refuse the 5 recommended shots and opt to follow Dr. Bob's Vaccination Schedule and only get one this visit. Phew! But I was still not looking foward to watching my baby get pricked and cry. Matt came with me for moral support. Turns out I was the biggest baby in the room. Her new pediatrician (who was mine as well) put sugar on her binky to distract her it did the trick. She let out the smallest whimper and that was it!

Ani - you always crack me up in your posts. But I freaked out during the earthquake too! I had just gotten out of the shower and luckily dressed and was holding Presley when it hit. I came out into the hall yelling for my mom to come save us - suddenly realizing I am now a mom. Scary! I am now freaking out that I need to take a refresher course on what to do in emergencies. Glad we're all safe with our little ones!
nice work matty! i'm glad you're safe! give kate a kiss, and keep your pants on.
being naked and having to evacuate always a nightmare of mine. i was driving and totally didn't feel it!
oh scary! We are glad that you are alright!!
yeah i totally HATE that deodorant commercial! and, no...i'm not sure how the word verification thing was set up...i'm going to investigate.
ani- i don't know you and this is totally random but i just came across your blog through jake and jenna's and just needed to comment because you mentioned the dr bob's vaccination schedule. do you have an actual copy of it? i have a 2 1/2 week old and am dreading the awkward dr.'s appt. too and would really like to get my hands on the delayed schedule but i can't seem to find it online anywhere when i google it. maybe i'm doing something wrong-i don't know. anyway, would you email it to me? abbiemckinnon at yahoo dot com. thanks and sorry for the random comment!!
LOL! You're so cute Ani! And what a wonderful husband you have! That must have been so scary! Although I have to admit, I think it would be so much fun to be in an earthquake, but only because I've never been in one. I'm sure I would hate it if I were in one, especially with a baby, and only half dressed. :o)
