The Doctor is out of TOWN!
So I got a call yesterday (during my LAST day of work!) from my doctor’s office. The nurse was asking me if we could move my Monday appointment to the following Monday. When I asked why I wouldn’t be able to see the doctor for two weeks, she responded hesitantly, “Well, he’ll be out of town…” All I could say was, “Oh…” She apologized and told me she hates making these calls. I can see why too, because I’m not terribly irrational and I was a nervous about this. I asked if my doctor’s partner would be in town to deliver my baby and she said she would check and get back with me. I am terrified of one of the doctors here, whom was my doctor in the first trimester and he was HORRIBLE and not helpful in the slightest (plus he has a HUGE record of breaking babies’ collar bones because he pulls on them before they’ve been pushed out enough). I wanted to go to a different hospital entirely, but the doctor that I started seeing after the bad doctor was GREAT to say the least, and so Tim and I have stuck with him. And now he is going to be gone… I spoke with the doctor this morning about how long he’ll be gone, when his partner will be here, and if I could by small chance be induced before he leaves- since we’re so close to my due date any way. She said my doctor leaves town this Sunday and will not be back until MAY 10!!! His partner will be gone this weekend, but will be here May 3 and the whole time after that. I have scheduled my weekly check up with him while my doctor is away. If Levi decides to come out this weekend, I will be going to a different hospital- regardless of the cost. I may just be inconveniently shopping in another town and all of sudden go into extreme labor, you know??? The nurse I spoke with this morning said she would speak with the doctor about inducing me, but that it wasn’t likely. I told her I understand, and I really do. Still waiting on her to call me back, though… UG! This really has Tim and I wound up a little more than we should be… PRAY PLEASE!

So, I’d been planning a surprise camping trip for Tim for a month and a half, and spent all week preparing and packing behind his back. When Tim got home from work Friday, I sneaked into his car and grabbed his fishing poles and threw them in the van. I had already loaded the van, More >
Baby Foods, Baby Developements, Monthly Shots, and Teething (oh my!)

Last week Levi had a few shots at the doctor’s. We decided to split his shots up, which means we’ll have to go monthly now. I know that I am the adult, and I should know that the doctor is helping him, but I still feel like the doctor is the bad guy for giving More >

First Anniversary

So, its been a while… and I’m going to quit apologizing every time it has been. Why? I’m a mom and have higher commitments now. Commitments that don’t sleep- almost at all during the day. Commitments that remind me frequently they need to eat every half hour, and be burped every time after that… oh More >
Parents Choice vs Huggies and Bath Time

I know it has been quite some time since I’ve been on here… hope you can all be understanding when I say, “I am busy!” Well the doctor was right, Levi’s umbilical cord fell off the day after his last doctor’s visit! So, naturally I just HAD to give him his first bath! My brother More >
First and Second Pediatrician Visits
about 2 years ago - No comments
May 12th was the day Levi had his first doctor’s visit. I chose the pediatrician that I did because she is more “natural”. I do not mean “natural” as in non-shaving hippies, but “natural” in the sense that children don’t need to be pumped full of meds every time their noses run. Lots of fluids, More >
Mother’s Day

I know, I am obviously behind since I am just now telling you about my first Mother’s Day! We didn’t do much because we had only been home from the hospital for three days and really couldn’t and didn’t want to go out. So, Tim bought me a rose and a waffle maker (at my More >

Well, I’m picking up with the first night home (I know, the title didn’t make that obvious). I haven’t a clue when I went to bed that Thursday night, but Levi slept nearly from the time we got home from the hospital (around 6 pm-ish) to about the time we were going to go to More >

Okay, let me start off by saying that I know I have been gone for a long time. Because I’ve been gone so long, I have a lot to blog about and I don’t want to do a 10 page blog, so I’ll be writing a couple different blogs over the next week to cover More >

I’m proud of you for sticking up for yourself and your baby’s collar bone! lol. You should always feel comfortable with your doctors in any kind of situation… (P.S. right as I was writing this, I found out that Levi was born! Congrats!)
