Appt #18 – cardiologist

(almost 30 weeks) After days of this off and on lightheadedness, shortness of breath, dizziness and palpitations, I got in to see a cardiologist. My stint in OB triage and the ER warranted follow up due to an abnormal EKG….

Sometimes there just aren’t enough rocks

We went up north for the weekend, up to the lovely pines, highs in the 70’s. It was gorgeous. Once we arrived, I noticed it was a little harder to breathe. No surprise though, given the altitude and my preggo…

Appt #17 – OB

(almost 29 weeks) So I had a rough week (see this post and this post).  I wasn’t exactly excited to see my OB, but I was hoping to feel better after seeing him. I tried to calm myself the whole…

Discouraged part 2

Sooo since Tuesday’s growth ultrasound was so much fun, Wednesday and Thursday decided to join in the mix and make my week even more enjoyable. (I hope you’re sensing the sarcasm). Wednesday AM I was sitting playing with my daughter,…

Appt #15 – OB….again

(26 weeks) Again, another dang med student. Spent the first 15 minutes of the visit being interviewed by him. So many questions, including “So how’s your home life? Anything you need to share with me about that?” And, “I see…

Appt #12 – Little heart’s a growin’

I went in for fetal echo (in-depth ultrasound of baby’s heart) and another growth ultrasound today. I was so nervous (big shocker) to find out the size of the baby. I had a dream that she was measuring over 2…

Appt #11 – OB

(22 weeks) I was able to see the nurse practitioner at my OB office today for my routine visit. She is a super sweet older gal that I saw a handful of times with my first preggo. She walked in,…

Appt #7 – Midwife, oh just kidding, new Dr!

(17 weeks) Was SOOO not wanting to go to this appointment. I love my OB, but last visit he picked over my sugars more than my endo does and questioned me about several things. It was obnoxious. But I understand his…
