How long do you have to sit at the doctor's office!?!

Ok, so first a quick little update :) Water aerobics was a lot of fun. Mom really enjoyed it and then I ended up getting to go again on Thursday which was really nice. Since my friend that I go with is due the same day as me we're really hoping to get to go a couple more times before either of the babies come but her swimsuit is almost to the breaking point so we'll see how many more times we go!

Now, onto my rant for the day... Yesterday Dennis had an eye appointment. (boy, it sux when there is only 1 specialist in an area!). Anyway, his appointment was at 3:30 in Salt Lake so I left a little after 2 to go pick him up since he rode the van pool that morning and then we got to his appointment a little before 3:30. Then we waited and we waited... Finally they called him back and he met with one of the nurses who just checked his eyes a bit and then sent him back to the waiting room (standard practice here, i don't understand it!) to wait for an exam room with the doctor. By this time it was now 4:30 or so. I called mom to let her know we were going to be later than expected. A little after 5, Dennis called his home teaching companion to let him know he may not make it in time to go home teaching. Finally he got called back again a little after 6! That's right, I said six. Then we sat in the exam room for FOREVER! The other doctor in the practice came in for a few minutes at one point cuz he wanted to take a look at Dennis' eye. After a half hour or so one of the ladies checked on us to see if we'd been seen yet, seeing I was pregnant she ended up getting me a glass of apple juice and some graham crackers which was nice. Finally the doctor came in, spent 5 minutes with him to say good, there's been no change, come back in 5 months. Fun. We got out of there a little after 7 and didn't get home until 8!!! Seriously!?! It was a ridiculous experience! But atleast Dennis and I got to spend some time together, right?
