33 Week Appt--complaining, mostly!
Another Sept Mom checking in....
I had my 33 week appt this afternoon, which was rescheduled from last week (doc had a delivery last week and it had to be rescheduled). I was supposed to go in the week before but I was on vacation. So it's been a while since I had a check up. I got there today with Sophie in tow and DH meeting us there, it was the first appointment they had been to with me. There is a sign posted that children are not allowed, but I almost every single time I have been there, there are at least 3 kids there, so I said screw it and took Sophie with me. After signing in I was called up to get my BP and weight, etc., then told that my doc had just left on a delivery about 15 minutes prior. I let out a snort, as this has happened to me 4 times--either having to reschedule or getting there and finding out she had just left. I was not pleased as the last time I went in, I could not see her anyway since she was on vacation, and I really like this OB. The other people I have seen in the practice are just not to my liking. So baby is head down, my BP is fine, baby's heatbeat is great, although I did not ask what it was. I gained 1 pound since last time, for a total of 30 now, which is about 10 less than this point with Sophie, so it made my day! I got my preregistration forms for the hospital, and attempted to make all my remaining appts, since it has gotten rather difficult lately. I made my next one for two weeks from now, and then I am supposed to go weekly but there was not one single appt available that next week with my doc, so the chick told me that she could not do the rest for me until that one was scheduled. Whatever. I did not argue with her as I have been in a ****y mood all day. DH got passed over for a promotion yesterday that he was all but promised on paper last week so I spent yesterday afternoon crying, which I am sure is not great for little baby, but all the stress of the last year, losing my job, moving across the country, planning this baby upon what DH's career path was supposed to be after taking this job, and it has turned out to be nothing like that, and starting the process of getting ready to buy a house (we won't start the actual process until after baby comes but we are researching neighcorhoods, etc), and that 10 day visit with my in laws a couple weeks back, they all are catching up with me and I am just an emotional wreck! How is that for a run on sentence?? Thanks for listening, if anybody still is Linda Mommy to Sophie, 2 years and girl #2, due Sept 7th |

Thanks for listening, if anybody still is You are welcome. You poor thing, I'm sorry to hear what you went through lately. as far as the OB goes: You have a good chance of not seeing the OB you like during your delivery, either. So you better get to know the others now, don't you think so? Best wishes, Sabine |

All that going on is enough to make anyone's head spin. However, I never get upset about a doc going to the hospital for a patient, because the next time, that patient could be me. And I would be darned glad that the doc left the office for me. |

33 Week Appt--complaining, mostly!
I can't believe that in a matter of days we will be 34!!! weeks.
I'm really starting to imagine what this little guy will be like. I feel so much more like I have a *baby* coming and I'm not *just pregnant*, if that makes any sense. :-) So Linda, what do you imagine your baby is going to look like? K- I can't help but think that this one will resemble Sophie, which is not rational, I know. I have a feeling she is going to be bigger, but maybe that is just since I am so uncomfortable in the heat! This pregnancy has gone by so fast, even though I have been much more uncomfortable! In a little over a months' time, we will all be mommies of newborns, it's a trip! Linda Mommy to Sophie, 2 years and girl #2, due Sept 7th |

A crying jag is not going to hurt the baby! Women have healthy babies in extremely stressful circumstances. So, being an emotional wreck might be hard on you, but the baby will be fine. :-) Hoping it gets easier for you, Tiina SAHM to Emilia,4 EDD Sept.15 Linda Mommy to Sophie, 2 years and girl #2, due Sept 7th |

really inconsiderate of them! I hope you feel better now. Come here to vent or feel free to e-mail me privately anytime! Elly 30 weeks today EDD October 6th Thanks, Elly. I am actually feeling much better today. I had a nice weekend at my mom's house, spent some time in the pool with Sophie and got some help with her, so that made a big diffference in my mood. DH had already put in 40 hours of work between Sat and mid day yesterday, on top of about 65 hours last week, so I was feeling a little overwhlemed doing the single parent thing. I just don't know how people do it without a partner around at least a few hours a day to help with the kid/s! How does it feel to hit 30 weeks?
