Black and White labeled appointment!

Okay, if anyone is wondering what is with the title, and has never had the pleasure of saving, scrapping the buckets for fertility money treatment, I'll let you in on the secret. Black and white labels on food usually means "generic". As in nothing flashy and everything removed and not an option other than the beans in the can.

You ask, "Why the bean talk when we are waiting on the appointment update?"

Because I am trying to be polite and tell you that it was a freaking beans in a can appointment!

Honestly. Okay, not really beans in a can, more like pee on a stick. That is it. I have two (I am guessing) babies in my belly and I have yet in that office heard only one. They put that doppler in the same place (probably where most babies are at 16.5 weeks, listen and smile) They have never moved it around or even attempted to find something different. Little flustered, are you feeling it?

I'm sure that on the next appointment I am going to rip the doppler out of his hand and tell him I 'll find it myself.

So in short, I am only slightly fatter than I was since my last weigh in. 3 pounds this pregnancy so far...I'm sure there is more where that came from. My pee is perfect, the blood pressure is very normal, belly measuring off, but then these babies and the ol' uterus has taken up growing horizontally not vertically so I'm getting wide not round and bumpy ( I'm not beep , beep, beep when I walk past you yet wide, but I will defiantly get your attention in about 4 months wide).

I guess because he either has a wealth of knowledge behind him or he has super hero xray vision, he assured me that there was nothing to worry about with the extra fluid sac in baby "b"'s sac, although I expressed concern and pointed out that there is a larger bump in that area and I do have the "adhesion" type pain there.

So 8 minutes later, $20.00's and a appointment card for April the 30th we are home, all of use, I guess.

I go on the 11th to the Fetal specialist. Yeah us. We get good ultrasounds there and I don't even have to have a stroke or something like it to get one!

I really just wanted to smack him in the forehead and call him a wiener. I didn't though, I thought that would not be good if the doctor that we want to deliver us isn't in that week and he would be up that week so, in the best intrest of future pain control and the safteyof our unborn children...I let it go....for now.

For the record though. Male doctors should not be allowed to be specialist of female issues including birth, pregnancy and sex, unless they have ~

1. sprouted ovaries and they function for at least one year with full blown PMS cycles through all four seasons.

2. Haven't at least carried one pregnancy to term.

3. Aren't involved with someone who feels sex is what makes the world go round.

4. Oh yeah, they have to gain at least half of what they eat even after 8 hours a week exercise no matter what.

5. And finally if they fulfill all of these listed they have to remain blind folded for 6 months while someone who they really don't know takes care and over sees their most valuable possession.
