Total Weight Gain: 11 pounds
Baby Kicks: Few and far between
Sex: Still unknown
Mental Health: Depressed. Pregnancy sucks.
After another stellar appointment with Dr. Loompa, I know nothing more than I did 5 months ago. I'm pregnant. There is a heartbeat. I gained weight. Clearly, all I need to be an OBGYN is a bunch of pee sticks and a scale.
Dr. Loompa always sticks the doppler on the right side of my
"Uhhhhhh......" wanders over to chart and stares at it. "Yes. Did you have sonar?"
"No. You scheduled it for the 4th."
"Huh?"
"You scheduled it for JANUARY FOURTH."
"Oh. Uhhh... Let me check something..."
He strolled out of the room and never came back. Instead the nurse came in and jabbed me with the H1N1 vaccine and said, "See you in four weeks!"
Apparently, my uterus contains a mystery prize. Is it a new car? A living room set? Twins? A funky placenta? Boy? Girl? No one knows!
I'm getting pissed.

No way would I be able to keep from kicking that man! I'd say you're handling things well :)
Dr. Loompa is making my laugh. Just 3 more days and door #1 will open!!!! I can't wait to read about it!
I just started reading your blog, I read back to what you didn't delete before. Obviously, I don't know the whole story but you are much stronger than I would be. I hope 2010 is MUCH better for you and your family. Can't wait to see your ute via an ultrasound pic. Also, I just wanted to say that your post about E not remembering you staying at home with her really makes me feel ALOT better about going back to work. Thank you, it's the single most best incite I have today on the subject. I shall probably blog about it as well. Don't worry, I will give you credit!
I mean, really, can we get a new doctor????? (Do you like the "we")? Seriously, the man is an idiot, providing no care. I work in the medical field. I suggest you get very demanding and vocal. Put up a real stink. Get what you want and need. He works for YOU. You go girl. (my girls HATE it when I say that, hee hee)
Ok, I know I asked before, but ... is he the only ob that your medical plan accepts? I'm still struggling with his professionalism - or lack thereof - here.
And kicks? I never felt them either. And I most definitely did NOT have twins. :)
I didn't start feeling my 1st baby until 23 weeks, this one I'm 22 weeks and just started to feel it every day about 2 days ago. And it's DEFINITELY not twins. Thank God.
Also, I sort of hate your doctor. And in my head is is totally orange with green hair like in the original Willy Wonka. He is not awesome.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh! See about changing dr.s! I thought about it. Im still thinking about it. But Im not doing anything about it..
sounds like you need a new doctor!!
