~Dr. Visit #5, Too Much Waiting~

Well we had our Dr. Visit yesterday afternoon. I had to change my appointment from the date that I picked out on Feb. 22. I had it scheduled for March 25, which was this past Tuesday, but while I was making the calendar for work, I realized that there would be someone else out that day. So a month ago, I called and changed my appointment to Thursday the 27th. I meant to call and check on it before I left Ruston, but I never got to it. As I was checking in for the appt., I was told that they had me for Tuesday not Thursday. I should've known better. But she called back to see if they would still see me and they did, she told me "It will just take a while". Of course. I would be sitting there waiting until 5:00 anyway, of course it will be a while. Whew!! Ok, so I go to the back to do the usual, blood pressure and all that jazz, and then I have to come back and wait again. I waited an hour until 4:30, they called me back and then I sat in the little room until 5:20. Wow, that's a lot of waiting. And I only saw the Dr. for about 5 min, and I was outta there. She had a hard time at first getting his heartbeat because that little dude was all over the place kicking and moving. He's extremely active, except in the mornings, he gets that from his mommy on weekdays and his daddy on the weekends. She said that everything sounded good. And then she measured my belly. I didn't even ask "just how big" it was. I kinda have an idea, especially when Chris laughs at me trying to get off my couch! But he better watch it, he's pushing 5 months himself. So all in all, the visit was good, the wait was BAD. But that's ok, before long, they will be over and we'll have Noah's visits. My next visit is my sugar test for gestational diabetes. Hopefully everything will be ok. Otherwise big momma will be on a drastic diet. Yuck!! We are ending our 23rd week. Sunday we will in the 3rd Trimester. Whew that freaks me out. A little over 3 months left! Have a good weekend. I have nothing planned and I can't wait!

I totally agree...getting off the couch is HARD work! And, even when I actually do have a scheduled appointment, I felt like I still waited awhile anyway. THEN one time, I had waited and waited, and then someone went into labor and she had to leave. So I waited that day for nothing. But then I think, "Well, if it were me that went into labor, I would want her to come for me, too!" :-) Glad things are going well!
