EEK!

I'm 8 months pregnant and have to find a new Dr! How frustrating and stressful! I've been really frustrated anyway because my last 3 appointments have been canceled on me. 1st, they scheduled me for while she was teaching a class at the hospital, and waited till the day before to call to reschedule. 2nd, she had a family emergency and canceled all her apts for that day. 3rd, she was delivering a baby. I was suppose to finally have a check up tomorrow, and they called today to tell me that she is no longer practicing! Due to some personal and family issues, she has decided to stop practicing! They offered me a list of other OB's in the area and that was it! So, here I am, 8 months pregnant and haven't had a dr apt in the last 2 months and now have no dr! I am so beyond frustrated! If there is anything wrong with this baby or pregnancy, I have no way of knowing because I haven't seen a dr in so long! At least I can feel the baby moving so I know it is still alive in there.

A friend of mine has a friend who is an OB and she told me to call her office. It is a husband and wife who practice together. He is the primary care physician and she is an OB. I called their office and explained what happened. They are out of town this week, but were able to get me an apointment with the husband on Monday. I think it would be the wife who is an OB who would actually deliver my baby, but the soonest opening they had for a basic check up was with him. I'm frustrated about having to go to a differnt dr office, let alone a male dr...but I guess at the same time I am thankful that I was able to find someone who can see me next week.

WOW! Yeah that's is frustrating!! I'm sorry to hear about that. It is good that you were able to find some one but still hard to have to make such sudden changes so late in the pregnancy..

That is frustrating. At least my OB retiring was a bit earlier in the pregnancy and had a guy in the same office to take me. It is stressfull though. You would think the least the office could do is refer their patients to other dr's. I hope all goes smoothly here on out!

Birth Story

Ok, as promised, here is Titus birth story and it's probably going to be pretty long. It actually starts 2 weeks ago with prodominal labor. I had this with Raquelle where I start contracting early, but make no cervical change. We went to the hospital on Sunday night the 8th with contractions 4 min apart. The contractions were making no change, but Titus HB was low and not variable enough so they kept me. After monitoring over night, there had been no progress, but his HB was better. My MW offered to try a cytotec to ripen things up and see if that would get things going for him to be born. I had the first dose at 8 AM and a 2nd dose around noon. They caused my ctx to become very consistent but not incredibly painful. By the end of the day I had made no progress and his HB had been better so we went home. Went to the dr the next day and she offered to induce with pitocin. We said no. Then next Sunday the 15th, I had been cleaning all day and probably over did it (my mom wa...

2 month check up

I don't want to forget to blog about the kids!  When we have a new baby, I love to be able to look back and see how their growth and milestones compare to their siblings! Annabelle is 11 weeks old today.  She had her 2 month check up last week.  We are battling thrush again just like we did with the first 3.  She does NOT nurse well (still),  but I haven't had to go to formula yet.  Every day, feeding her is a struggle and it feels like a long uphill battle. Her 2 month stats - Height - 23.75" Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz She is way ahead on her social milestones.  She already imitates me and will track objects and turn her head to keep following them when they go out of her line of sight. She doesn't tolerate tummy time very well though, so she hasn't built up as much strength as her oldest sibling had by this age.  She is still right on track with what is normal though.  I don't have her paper in front of me now, but she is right about 7...

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.
