I had my 32 wk dr appt today and when I went to hand it to my dr, he pretty much freaked out. He didn't take it, didn't look at it, and told me that if I gave them a birth plan, I would be alienating the whole medical staff and people wouldn't want to help me when I'm having my baby. He said it was like telling dr's that you don't need them. It was really weird and uncomfortable. I said that I just wanted to make sure that people knew what I wanted b/ I didn't expect him to remember everything I had ever said b/c I know I'm not his only patient. Also, he may not be the one delivering me b/c it could be another dr or midwife in the practice. And since he didn't write anything down, no one else would have any idea about what I want.
I've always liked this dr. I've seen him more than any of the others and up until today, I've always been very comfortable with him. I just got the vibe today that what I want doesn't really matter. If it was earlier in my pregnancy, I would try to switch dr's, but I think it's a bad idea to get someone new when I have 8 weeks or less left to go. I'm so unhappy tho and I was crying when we got on the elevator to leave the office.
Has anyone had anything weird like that happen? I'm so upset about the whole thing that it's hard to be excited about having my baby. I just don't want to have to spend the whole day telling people, "No, I don't want meds. No, my MIL can't come in. Do not strap me to that IV pole, I want to walk around." Ugh, sorry, so frustrated.View Thread

So I have to go in for the 3 hr next week and I am terrified! I've been so stressed out lately b/t my husband's job, finding out we don't get to move closer to my family before the baby is born, dealing with not having my car since it was stolen and wrecked, and right before my appt, I found out that courtesy of the Navy, we might not get to leave on vacation on Wed (they canceled our vacation last yr 2 days before we were supposed to leave). With all of this going on, finding out I failed the GD test was too much and I burst into tears in the office and couldn't get myself together. I can't handle having GD and having to be on a special diet.
Anyone else fail the 1 hr really horribly but then have everything turn out fine at the 3 hr? I really need that to happen in the worst kind of way...View Thread


First of all, DH is in the Navy and we've been waiting for months and months for his orders. We were hoping to move back to MD to where my family lives before our daughter is born. Today we found out that we probably won't even get orders before she is born, let alone in time to move before she is born. So it looks like I will have to have my baby 200 miles from any family, I won't be able to take the job that pays four times what my current job pays, and we're going to be having a newborn in our two bedroom condo with no room to take a break when I can't take the crying anymore. This is making me super depressed. When we got pregnant, we were sure that we were going to have our orders and be long gone by now, but no dice.
Last Tues night, my car(that I've had for a yr and half) was stolen from our condo complex parking lot. How? It turns out DH's remote to his car isn't locking his doors. Even tho I constantly told him to take the GPS holder off of his windshield so no one would break into his car to steal the GPS, he never listened. Well, someone opened his car door, went into his console, stole his GPS and found the spare key to my car he kept in the console of his (I had no idea he did that). They took the key, found my car, and drove off. (DH is so lucky he alive and I am speaking to him.) I found out last Wed morning when I went to try and go to work. On Thurs, the police found my car... and when they tried to pull over the delinquents who stole it, they crashed it into a pickup truck. When I saw it, I found out they threw away all of my work stuff and other personal things, and used my car to go on a crime spree, filling it with stolen stuff and smoked in it along the way. I was hoping the insurance company would call it totaled and I could just get a new car (our insurance plus GAP insurance would have covered the whole loan), but today I found out they're repairing it. I don't want it back b/c they made it completely disgusting and the idea of it makes me feel completely violated.
Sorry this is so long. I'm just so upset. I've been crying for an hour and a half. It just feels like everything is falling apart and there is nothing I can do about it... and none of it is even my fault! If you actually sat and read this whole diatribe, thanks for "listening".View Thread

I am with you 1000% about raising our daughter to love her Lord and Savior with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength. Because God is so good... all the time.
God bless you and your family! I can tell He already is!View Thread

They sent us to a high-risk ob b/c of the cysts on Anna's brain (maybe hers were really big that they did that). We go back for a follow up tomorrow to see if they're gone or going down. And they need to get a better look at her heart. She didn't cooperate last time (as usual) so they didn't get a very good look. I'm praying that everything will look just great. I realized this morning this is our 6th u/s. Yikes! Then next Fri, we have our 24 wk appt.
Sometimes, I think, "Geez, this is taking forever!" and other times, I feel like there just isn't enough time! We're supposed to get orders to move soon (DH is in the Navy) but they're taking forever to get them to us. I just want to be settled before Anna is born.
I am starting to show. It actually stresses me out a bit. I feel like I'm huge (but everyone else just says how small I am, I don't know if big is in my head or if everyone is just being nice, you know?). And I wonder if I feel this big now, how big am I going to be by the time she is born?! Not sure how much I've gained. As of 2 weeks ago, I was still down 2 pounds. I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning since we have an appt. I'm hoping I won't have done too much damage, but I've been eating like a horse this past week. Oops.
Again, glad to hear you're doing well. Take care and don't work yourself too hard!View Thread
