8-14-08 - BUNK APPT

Today I had a dr's appointment. Today I learned that my second doctor is no longer my doctor. Today I became very pissy and mad at the world. WHY do I have to go through 3 doctors during my pregnancy? Why can't I just have someone stick with me? I would like to have a "connection" with my doctor, but being that I dont even know what her name is, I wouldn't have any "connection". My appointment went something like this.

Weight check - Up 4 lbs
Blood Pressure
Asked if I had any pain - said yes and rated it at a 5
Drank Glucola for my second glucose screening
Peed in a cup
Dr came in -said cheerely - "BY the way... did anyone tell you I was leaving? Sorry!" She's pregnant and wearing high heel shoes to work... whatever

Anyway she didn't even look at my chart to talk about the pain I told the nurse about or anything! She asked questions about things she would have known the answer to if she had read my chart. She said... "well since you haven't had any contractions yet looks like all is well..." HELLO!! I called 2 times last week cause of contractions.

I told her about that and she goes... oh well sounds like everything is normal. NORMAL! You call not being able to walk more than ten yard without sitting down NORMAL!?! If that's normal than I must have had a pretty f'ing amazing first pregnancy!

JJ went with us to the appointment - which was fine. He was being pretty good the whole time, until we had to wait for the blood draw - then it was not so easy. Afterward he RAN out of the blood draw area and Josh had to take off after him. He doesn't get that he HAS to stay with us.

It's like 90 degree's outside. I have my A/C on, but as soon as the air stops blowing I start sweating. I am getting frusturated with everything right now and am not able to handle the pressure for some reason.

Baby time is coming up soon and I just don't feel that I am ready.... emotionally, physically or in reality. I need to do an overhaul of the house, which will get done not this weekend but next, and am ready to just get all the clutter and junk out. My carpets need a good cleaning (will happen AFTER next weekend) and I still am waiting for the crib/carseat. I know I'll get them before Alexavier comes, but I'm starting to stress a bit about that.

Babyshower for friends and family is on Saturday, that should be fun although it's causing a bit of stress as well. I guess it has to do with the fact that I'm kinda the one that is organizing it. Latara is helping me go shopping tomorrow, which is cool.... I'll update about the shower after it happens. I am pretty excited to have some of my good friends and family around. I wish my sister Emily would answer the phone so I could pick her up tomorrow to spend the night, but she hasn't answered for me in a long time.

Okay... enough blabing - TTYL I'm gonna try to "rest"... although I can't get any kind of comfortable and want to rip my hair out ... :)

Peace Out

Hi all! It's been a few weeks since I have posted, sorry. I've been definetly feeling the side effects of pregnancy. Tired, emotional, tired, :). Besides that things are going as smoothly as possible. So far so good with the Diabetes stuff. My only big problem was that I started to have contractions yesterday, about 4 an hour... or every 15 minutes or so. The nurse told me that if it gets to 6 or more an hour I have to go into labor & delivery. UGH!! So I have been taking it as easy as possible, and trying to stay off of my feet. Also she told me to drink more water. So there you go. I'm huge now. I might have someone take a pic of me so I can post it later.

Just think good thoughts and all will be fine.
