Another Dr.'s Appointment

I had a doctor's appointment this morning at 9:30, and Nolan was to have an appointment following mine at 10:15. Once again, I must say how disappointed I was with the treatment at the office. I was called back around 9:40 which had me very hopeful. I checked the time at 10:12, and still had not been seen. At 10:30, I went out and found a nurse, to inform her that Nolan was to have an appointment on the Peds side at 10:15, and asked if she could let them know we were running behind. No one came to fill me in on what was taking the doctor so long. Then, Nolan decided he had to go to the bathroom for the third time. While we were in the bathroom, the doctor had come to my room (which was next door the the restroom). Instead of waiting for 30 seconds to see me, she went on to another patient. So, I wasn't seen until 11:00. The doctor was going through my chart, and didn't have my EKG report, so she had to get it. At about 11:15, a nurse came in to inform us that Nolan's doctor would be leaving at 11:30, so we needed to hurry. My appointment turned into a big rush. The doctor did explain why she was running behind...there was another pregnant patient who had been bleeding....so I totally understand her tardiness, but it would have been nice to be let in on the situation. Maybe they could have let Nolan be seen while we were waiting. Baby and I checked out okay. I'm measuring on track, and heartbeat was on track at 150 bpm. I'll have my ultrasound on the 23rd, so I'm anxious for that. I have a strong feeling that it's a boy, but we'll have to wait and see!

I felt so impatient today, because my neighbor was keeping Natalie and Nathan for me, and I told her I would be back around 11:00. She doesn't have baby gates up, and I was concerned that she was having too much work chasing Nathan away from the steps, considering my neighbor is due with her second child at the end of this month and is probably just exhausted from being so pregnant. When we finally got back around noon, my neighbor said the kids were great for her. Nolan and I hadn't eaten anything all day, so I offered to run to McDonald's to get us all some lunch. Natalie and Nolan stayed with my neighbor while I took Nathan with me to pick up our lunch. So this morning has been super hectic, and I'm so tired right now that I feel sort of light-headed. So I believe I will wrap up this posting and lay on the couch for a bit.
