76-week medical streak broken!

After 76 straight weeks where I saw at least one doctor a week for either myself or the kids, the streak was broken last week!  For the first week since August 8-14, 2010, I did not see a single medical professional.  So it took one week shy of 18 months to get from the last week without a doctor to this one! 

I called it on Facebook a little early, about 4:30 Friday afternoon, and then came about as close to a major car accident as I've ever been in my life while driving to Dallas a couple hours later, so I decided to wait until the entire weekend was past to call it here.

This streak includes a week that I was in Toronto for work from Tuesday to Sunday.  I had figured earlier on that I must have not seen a doctor that week, but when I went back and reviewed (Google Calendar is definitely my friend), it turned out that Trajan's four-year-old well visit was that Monday!

Paul asked the question of when was the last MONTH that I didn't see a doctor with anyone and it's actually not much further back with the month of May 2010 being entirely medical visit free.  Note: the LMP for Chiron and Aurelia's pregnancy was May 28, 2010 and I don't think this is coincidental.

I had an OB appointment this morning (both babies looked great with good growth, movement, cardiac activity and all that.  Didn't get a shot this time.), so this week is already out for repeating the feat.  And next week I have an endocrinologist appointment with a perinatologist appointment the week after that.  I talked the OB into scheduling at 4 weeks instead of 2 or 3 though, so there is a potential that the week of February 26 to March 3 will be doctor-free! Hopefully so since March already has at least one appointment for each week spread across the three of us and since weekly appointments start for me at 20 weeks, that week is pretty much our only potential one between now and late summer.

As long as I'm throwing out numbers, I also think it's interesting that this total includes 112 in-patient days between us.

And to keep this from just being dorky numbers, here's the boys this weekend.  I had a board meeting in Dallas and so they came along to play with their cousins:

Cousins are exhausting.  And there was nothing playing, so I'm not sure why he had the headphones on.  And yes, the booster makes me a little nervous, but I've given in.
