So I get the greatest honor to start my first blogspot with some of the greatest news I think I could ever give out publicly................ I'M GONNA BE A DAD!!!! WOOO HOOO!! Amy & I went for our first Dr.'s appointment for the baby today in Midland. We got to see the lil guy/girl wiggle, kick, and even stare at us!
We went over to Midland today for the appointment. There were several things that we needed to today that didn't include the kiddo. I just purchased my first set golf clubs which I hopefully will come in, in the next couple days will be here. I bought Tommy Armour clubs off of ebay which I've heard are good clubs and since I don't play much golf at all right now I wouldn't know the difference even if they were crappy. But all in all I bought some accessories shoes, crappy golf balls which will get lost, a glove, and sunglasses. So, aside from the ugly plaid men's capri's, I think I'm set.
I am exceptionally distraught at the value of the customer in our days. While we were in Academy Sports today (looking for my invaluable accessories), we stood in the golf dept for over 20 mins waiting on someone to come assist us with things that we didn't know or couldn't do. Amy finally went and asked them to send someone and even after they paged it out over the intercom.....no one showed. We finally couldn't wait any longer and went to our appointment. When we walked up to check in the nurse there alerted us to the fact that the Dr. was just then seeing his 10:15 a.m. patient. Did I mention the fact that our appointment was at 1:00 p.m.? I was shocked and the nurse asked, in a very 'You didn't know?' manner, "No one told you that Dr. Madden useually runs behind?". As if this were something the whole world, besides us, knew. They preceeded to tell us that it would be at least 1 1/2 hrs till he saw us but if we left and came back they would bump us down the list!!! What BULLCRAP!! We are first time parents, first Dr's appt about the baby, and they were gonna bump us because OUR time is valuable? Seriously!!?? This guy is going to be getting 25% of my monthly income everytime we see this guy and HE was gonna bump US? That is my soapbox for now but it just seems that customer service is way below where it should be in corporate America.
The day has ended up good though with finally getting to tell all the people we love about our great news!! So call us, e-mail us, and pray for us as we start a great, scary, incredible journey!!
(PEEK A BOO.....I SEE YOU!!)
