Birthdays!
Happy Belated Birthday to bwinter and to my cousin Miriam's new little girl!!! I wonder what the other pregnancies in my family are going to be.
Happy Birthday to kosquarepelli! I hope I get to see you next week!
So today since I was feeling more alert and it was no longer 103, I decided to finally go back through my voice mail on my cell phone where I discovered I had 10 messages waiting for me. Several of them were from a "Nurse" at the doctor's office who declined to leave a detail message. Being the neurotic person that I am, I was worried this meant there was sugar or protein in my urine from my last urine test and there was concern about gestational diabetes. After spending some time playing phone tag I got a nurse and... it was that some of my tests had not been forwarded from my last doctor's office which I already knew from my nurse's appointment yesterday. ~.~ I wish they could have just said it in my voicemail! I'm a bit ticked that the office in Westchester could not forward these tests, and it's not like I have no idea what the results must be.
I also went on a tour of the Birthing Center and... they sound so wonderful! My mother is of course nervous about the whole thing, but I really think I am going to pick the Center over Danbury hospital. For one thing they allow water births which I think is something I am interested in! I've also signed up for a Childbirth class! Now to look into Lactation classes to make sure I can nurse. I think my favorite thing about the Birthing Center is when I shared the fact that my pre-natal vitamins tend to make me nauseous and I have a hard time keeping them down instead of the reaction of both the doctor's office in Westchester and in Danbury (change when you take them, make sure you take them with food, change brands, yeah they just suck like that) they had a fast absorbing LIQUID VERSION! I had been wondering why if we can do all sorts of other amazing scientific achievements we could not make liquid pre-natal vitamins since I've noticed a lot of women get nausea from pre-natal vitamins. It does cost more than the pills, but seriously, I just don't care, so worth the money!
