Whoa....that took awhile...

Yesterday 2/15 I had a Doctor's appointment with Doctor Astle.

I hadn't counted my blessings yet that day so I was feeling a little down in the dumps, or maybe it was the jerk who took my parking place and then parked too crooked to park next to him. Oh don't worry, he got THE look.

 I signed in sat down and almost immediately after they called me back. I was excited! I think I even said "Yeah!" out loud.

They took my weight (only gained 1 pound) My blood pressure. Pricked my finger for my iron (low-of course) and I sat in the room.

I should have known something was array when they had  me sit in the chair instead of on the bed. Because I waited an hour and a half! Yep. Not even kidding. Luckily it felt like it went pretty quick (Thank you phone Solitaire)

He asked how I was doing and measured my belly...I'm measuring at 30 weeks! He tells me...no need to worry you have two in there and we expect you to be a little larger.

I'm thinking "A LITTLE? that's 7 weeks OVER!"

Then he stops and asks when my last ultrasound was and starts looking at my charts.

And you know that feeling that something MIGHT be wrong but they are waiting to be sure to tell you? That's the feeling I got.

He then started talking about my A1C and blood sugars and  getting my blood work because the babies are measuring a few days larger then their actual due date. Cause if my body is using the sugars wrong it makes the babies larger. (Pretty much what the other doc told me a couple of weeks ago.)

I then told him about my skin breaking out with lotions and bath washes and getting chemical burns from DISHSOAP and last not least I told him my carpal tunnel was getting worse.

Wanna know what he said...."Drink more water, eat less salt, wrap your wrist at bed time to keep it from moving, and I'm sorry but its going to get worse."

"Sweet" was all I could think. and i wanted to cry.

Then he says..."Try not to use it during the day, no typing (um...how am I supposed to blog and facebook) no writing. Just keep it still."

I wanted to say..."So I just get to sit on the couch all day and not take care of my family or my house. What do you propose I do about my job?"

I wanted to just blow my lid, then I saw what time it was...3:37 appointment was at 2:00 (I'm supposed to be home by 3:30 for Jackson and I still had to pick up Dylan) Then I was panicked. the rest of the appointment was kinda a blur. I had to wait for the dumb nurse and the dumb other nurse with my blood work papers. then i had to deal with the dumb dumby who parked too close and too crooked (different then the first dumby in the beginning) and then the dumb dumby who was driving too slowly in front of me.

Thank goodness for good neighbors (who we car pool with) Kristy has been my saving grace the last couple of weeks.

All in all it was a successful doctor's appointment. Just have to keep watching my sodium drink MORE water and the Babies' heartbeats always sound amazing. :)
