I had a check up yesterday for baby, who is doing well. Fast heartbeat and the doctor says his money is "on it being a girl, even though you apparently need a boy" haha, I had to bring the girls because my babysitter ended up sick that morning. Anyway, they were well behaved so it didn't matter too much. Anyway, I go to a clinic that has like 6 doctors but the one I saw yesterday is by far my favorite. He was super friendly and made us feel like we were important and that he really cared about the health of our baby.
About half way through the appointment he suddenly said, "this might be too early to mention, but just so you know often with third pregnancies and beyond you will have a lot of pain that you didn't experience with your first two, just because of changes in your body because of having those too." Anyway, he explained about the kind of pain and what should be okay and what would obviously be reason to come get checked out.
Well that night the girls were being stinkers about going to bed and as I lay next to Abby I was in a lot of pain. After they finally went to sleep I crawled into bed and lay there for a while before I called Logan in and told him what was going on. He went and got me some tylenol and came and talked to me for a while. He said, "you remember what the doctor said right?" and I said I did and then he was quiet for a minute and suddenly I totally understood what he meant and I said, "you think he was inspired to tell us that this morning?" and Logan agreed with me.
I am so so so grateful to have a doctor who can receive inspiration! Otherwise in that situation I probably would have been a lot more panicked and not known what to do and it could have turned into a pointless ER visit. But because my doctor had known to tell me about those pains, I was able to wait it out and finally get some sleep and be completely fine.

Which doc was it? Coleman was my favorite, but I really liked Crandall, too. I liked most everyone there, actually.
