I can't believe we'll be 10 weeks tomorrow.

My appointment this week went well. I just had bacterial cultures re-run, to see if the infection is gone. My guess no, but hey I don't grow them in petri dishes. If I come back positive again, another round of antibiotics & then testing again. If it comes back then, they will do testing to see what antibodies it is resitant to & change up antibiotics.  

Had a quick little exam ( since I was there ) to feel my Cervix. All was good.  Had a talk with the Dr. about the Anxieties I get about going to his office ( well the "R" office ).  My BP was a little elevated, after waiting 30 minutes to get in a room. Then the tech asked me, my LMP. I was kinda confused, but gave it to her anyways. She then said, do you normally have this long of cycles. Facepalm! I said dear ( shouldn't have said dear, but oh well ) I'm pregnant. OH! confused look. Oh, I didn't see that in the chart..  I told you about the first ultrasound when the tech asked me how my "son" was doing. So I mentioned these to my DR. who did a facepalm! literally !  I told him very frankly that he is AWESOME. the staff in this office needs some improving. He didn't disagree. He said to me, our office should be a source of comfort and make you feel safe.  I told him the ladies ( nurses over in Hi-Risk OB at the hospital, all said yours is the practice they all go to, but all recommend going to the "other" office. ( smaller, seasoned staff, comfy homey, but they have no ultrasound machine ). He said we will get better at this.

Anways, so I booked the first month of weekly ultrasounds & cervix checks.  He also told the scheduler ( I had the last appt of the day - so no one else around ).  Lucky will get double booked if needed, she has to be here every week & with him. We at least got all the appts timed together, he explained the summer is crazy, with everyone ( doctors / staff ) taking vacation(s) so the fall/winter will get better for appt times opening up. 

Well I get next week off ( no appts ) then Week 11 starts every week appts.

FORWARN TMI ----




So the nausea is OKAY.. we'll see how it does on a road trip in 2 weeks. I'm having a rough time with BM and being constipated. I guess i'm going to have to invest in some fiber things & softening products, otherwise this is going to be a long 7 months. Allergies are killing me, the only OTC I can take doesn't do anything.


In other news, I told my immediate boss the other day. He was very "cool" with it, i didn't go into a whole lot of details. I just said I have a lot of appts, coming up, like weekly, sometimes twice weekly. He said do what you need to do, told me not to get stressed about work.  ( his wife is an OBGYN) so I was kinda freaked to tell, Never did the last time ( i didn't show at my 21 weeks  yet ) so it was a shocker to call him when I was in the hospital to say I'd be out for a bit.


All for now, we are going to watch my nephews baseball game tonight. .
