not so thrilled

So today I had an appointment with a doctor in the practice that I had yet to meet. The doctor suggested it might be a good idea to meet him because he will be on call New Years Eve and day. Then my normal Dr said he was a nice guy and kinda looked like Santa. So all week I was kinda excited about meeting Santa lol. The appointment did not live up to the excitement though.

First we get there and it says out of all the doctors he is delayed. I am thinking great now I get to wait god knows how long. I wasnt waiting long the sign was wrong as was everything else from that point on. They took my weight +7 lbs in 5 days. OUCH. Im still not even up 30 but still. Then she had me stand in the hall and wait for the bathroom to be cleaned in order to leave a urine sample. Finally rather then show me to the room she pointed and told me last door down the hall. The last door down the hall was a supply closet. So I am sitting in the room and she finally comes in to take my blood pressure (117/70) and starts asking me about the baby. I nicely tell her babies. She tells me she feels sorry for me and asks if I have lots of help at home. Then She said she was glad she didnt have twins. At this point I am ignoring her. She hands me a blanket and tells me to undress from the waste down and starts to walk out. I give her a puzzled look I was told no internals yet because they dont want to set me off. She then looks in my chart and asks me if I have had the group B test. I say no. She said waste down preps for it and walks out. Isnt that something she should know before telling someone to undress? What was she expecting the Dr to need me undressed for he didnt do an internal? So I am now sitting there undressed and waiting thinking great this now this appointment is hi nice to meet you let me look under the hood.

Finally the doctor comes in he says something about the baby. I look at him and say babies its twins. To that he replies and I quote "I was wondering why you were so huge". Um excuse me? Im not even up 30 lbs yes I know I am big but didnt you bother to peek in the chart of a new patient especially if you were wondering something. So at this point I am peeved. I dont even care anymore. He asks me what position they are in and I tell him I dont know the last time that was checked was 11-25 and we know they arnt in the same places now. To that he starts arguing that no what was I told at my biophysical profiles (BPP). I try to tell him I am not getting BPPs only weekly NSTs. He argues again telling me I should be biweekly. OK thats nice but that was not what was ordered for me. So he orders it (ie writes it on my chart). He then hands me my chart and tells me to give my chart to the nurse and make sure she calls it in. When did this become my job? I did though because I want to see the babies. Yes that is a true accounting no fudging account of my visit today.

Well I made it

I have made it on a few fronts. I am 34 weeks and the Dr is very happy that I made it this far. I made it through my first day off the Terbutaline without a trip to the hospital (knock on wood). Christmas is ready done and wrapped waiting under the tree for the people they need to go home with. All the stuff the twins need in the first few days is ready and washed. I have made it to a point where I am happy and comfortable that anything that is left to be done Erick could handle if it came down to that.

I look forward to the next few weeks and getting to spend more time with Erick between that half days and whole days he has off for the holidays. I am also really looking forward to meeting Erick's coworkers this coming Friday. Because He is at a new job I haven't met a single person he works with. Mostly I look forward to getting out of the house. I am lucky Erick now understands my cabin fever and he has been coming home and suggesting we go for drives to look at the lights on the houses. This is my new favorite past time. I have always loved the lights but I have much more appreciation for them now.

There is an end is sight

First off TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Ok now that that is out. Today I had an appointment. I gained and now I am at +25 lbs (23 if you ask some of the Drs in the practice). I am very happy with that. So the Dr finally comes in and is doing the lets feel the babies thing and pushing on my belly and no joke he says "my god that is a lot of baby in there!! Oh I mean babies." Thanks I know I am huge and most of it is them that means they are huge. So he says I go off the Turb. on Sat but they still want to keep me from going into labor so go in when I feel I need to so they can stop it. He asked if we had set a date for my c-section (babies are both breach). No we hadnt even talked about it. Well he goes I think we should set it for Jan 12th. That would put me 38 weeks. Then he adds "but it really doesnt matter because I dont think you are going to make it that far, I dont see you making it to New years". So the end is fast approaching. Oh and if Erick is right they will be here in 13 days.

In other, but still baby related, news... They are getting so much better at NSTs. Once again my NST today only took the 30 min.

33 weeks

Today

22 weeks...What a difference.

Really there is no new information. It is really hard to come up with what to write when you do the same thing every day. I have the TV line up memorized and have really become addicted to 2 games on addictinggames.com but other then that no news is good news.

This past weekend was the holiday family gathering for my dads side of the family. It is an ornament exchange. I had fun taking the one my cousin really wanted. hehehe Im a stinker. I ate lots of food so I am hoping for a good weight gain this week. My next appointment is Wednesday which also happens to be my birthday.


I will keep trying to do a better one but here is attempt #1

Well you know what they say

No news is good news. I kept holding out to get pics in a post but cant seem to find the charger for my camera which is dead at the moment. I started my weekly NSTs boy are they fun. Besides taking almost an hour to get checked in I was hooked up to the machine for an hour and a half. Finally the nurse gave up and went to call the Dr to see what to do. Wouldn't you know my Dr was off. I also got a new u/s last week. Both babies are breach. Well at least that is what she is calling it. Baby B is kinda diagonal. Baby A is so low in my pelvic bone that the tech could see legs. The good news is that I am holding strong and not funneling at all. Once again I didnt gain any weight but I didnt lose any either. Oh did I mention the chunkers were a whopping 3lb 12oz and 3lb 15oz last Tuesday. This is the biggest weight difference they have had but it is great because they are big for their ages. I will have another u/s in 3 weeks if I am still pregnant and if I cant cry myself into a sooner one.
