This picture is of (From top to bottom Left to right) Me, My cousin Randy, My cousin Keith, My sister Jenifer, My Grandmother and My Grandfather, at my cousin Keith's bat mitzvah back in 1992. The night before the bat mitzvah I got a hold of some scissors and decided to cute myself some bangs. Obviously now looking back I realize that was a real bad idea. =)
Here are my tags:
Today was my appointment with the high risk OB. My mom went with me since Patrick couldn't get off of work to go with. Everything went great, we went over all of my old and new blood work made a plan for the future, we did the nuchal translucency screening (the results showed everything was normal) and of course I got to watch this cute little stinker on the ultrasound monitor for a good 10 minutes. It was truly amazing. We tried to see if we could tell the sex but of course were not able to. He/she did wave at us and spent a good 4 minutes sucking it's thumb. We got to hear the heartbeat and it was a strong 145bpm. I have to tell you I am just so in love. I didn't want the appointment to end. I go back to this Dr on the 17th and at that time we should be able to tell the sex. So for now I leave you with afew pictures of my little 3oz of love. Note the fully belly =)
So today was my first appointment with my new OBGYN, and everything went great. We went over allllllllll of my history, did some blood work, checked the babies heartbeat on the doppler but where we were unable to find it my Dr did an ultrasound instead. The baby is doing great. Super active and all over the place. He was not even able to get me a picture because the baby was everywhere. It was amazing to see and quite funny. When all was said and done my Dr referred me to a High Risk OB and scheduled an appointment for me on Friday. With me being on the blood thinners & my thyroid condition my Dr thought it was best for me to see a High Risk Dr just to be on the safe side. And I'm ok with that since it means I get to see the baby via ultrasound more often.
So far so good! I have been so scared to tell anyone that I'm pregnant I think I finally feel comfortable. I'm past the 1 T and the baby is active and healthy. I think it's time for me to make an announcement.
That makes TWO times since I got my BFP that I caught the flu. But this time I had to one up myself. Last Friday (March 6th) I not only came down with the flu but I also caught a nasty case of strep as well as an ear infection in both of my ears. Things got so bad that at 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning I ended up dragging myself into the ER with a ridiculous fever and in massive pain from my ear infections. It was bad! Even now both my ears are still clogged. And I have a caught from hell but it's getting better slowly "VERY SLOWLY". I wasn't there long as the amazingly handsome ER Dr. wanted to get me out of there as fast as possible to avoid me catching anything else. It was the best treatment I have ever received in the ER. Not that I am a frequent visitor but in the 2 or 3 times in my life that I have ever had to go it was definitely one of the fastest. Armed with a prescription for Amoxicillin, Tylenol 3 and zofran, I headed home to bed. And that is where I have remained for the past few days. Only getting up to go to the bathroom, shower, occasionally throw up and spend 5 minutes checking my e-mail's until Patrick yells at me to get back in bed. It has been a rough week! I'm sorry to those that thought I was abandoning them, I'm still here and hopefully some time soon I will be fully back to normal.
On a scary note the very next day Patrick and I were watching the news about a shooting at the very same hospital I was at. Here is a link to the news story for anyone interested http://www.lvrj.com/news/breaking_news/41085847.html I am so grateful and glad that I was not there when this shooting went down. I think this would have given me a heart attack. Even just watching the story on the news freaked me out.
Well girls I better get back in bed. I really need to be back to normal by Monday if that's at all possible.
Ok so here is how my day went yesterday I woke up, did some work and laid back down in bed to take a nap around 2. Woke up 30 minutes later decided to wash this little blanket Molly and I lay on, did some more work, got into a fight with my RE's office (I will tell you that on in a moment) and then made hamburgers for dinner. After the day was over Patrick lets Molly out to go to the bathroom and we head up to sleep. Now mind you I was talking to him and looking right at him when he was by the back door letting her go potty. But I proceed to ask did you take Molly out before you came up to bed??? He responds Amy are you loosing your mind you were standing there with me when I took her out. Can I tell you that I still don't recall standing there when he was taking her out. I look at the bed and see the blanket that I had put in the washing machine still on my bed and it hits me, "Didn't I put that in the washing machine earlier???". I go into the laundry room and check the machine and I find the remote control to our cable box at the bottom completely watered down. What the heck is going on with me I think I've lost my mind!
So here is the topper of my day. My RE's office calls me to confirm my appointment for Tuesday (something they have NEVER done) and the girl that called me was new. The conversation starts off fine I'm calling to confirm your appointment for tomorrow blah blah blah, don't wear any perfume or scented lotion tomorrow as we have embryos in the office (ok this is no new rule I have been a patient of Dr L's office for quite some time and I already know not to do these things) then this girl takes the nastiest tone possible with me and tells me your copay for tomorrow is $78 for a double ultrasound to which I respond why is that I am not having twins anymore. She has nothing to say back but then proceeds to tell me you also have a past due bill of four hundred sixty dollars. Why is that I ask, I paid off my bill last time. She snaps back listen ma'am I am just doing my job and letting you know you will not be released until you pay off your bill. That's when I flipped out and hung up. I was so aggravated I called Patrick and told him I was done and that I refuse to ever go back to that office again. The staff at my RE's office changes constantly each one worse then the next. Out of a staff of 9 (including my RE) I can only stand to deal with 2 and neither of those 2 are my RE. Seeing the baby should be an exciting thing but my RE makes it hard to enjoy the moment. So at 10 p.m. last night I called the answering service and cancelled my appointment. And it felt good! I called today and made an appointment with my OBGYN who said he will handle getting me released and not to worry about it. So that's what I am going to do. It sucks not seeing the bean today but I know in the long run I'm doing whats right for me.!
