Rainbow Promises

Thanks Blue...

For the idea... So I am going to apoligize for my pregnancy induced psycosis!! I swear I am hating the way I am. So anyone who happens to hear me go off on my kids or get a dirty look from me I am sorry now! Today I had a decent reason though, but I still got it from Flyboy that I didn't need to be taking it out on him and the girls!!
So I had my 23 week 4 day appointment today and I went to see the midwife that I don't like, but she always stays in the room when I am making my follow up so I couldn't request someone else. Heaven forbid she be the one to deliever me, that'd be my luck. Anyhow I actually had questions, I want to have the Essure procedure done (it is a form of perminate bc). I know I am done I was done at 3 and not that this baby will not be loved I just know I am good and we don't want any more. Well the procedure is pretty new but my friend in San Diego is having it done at that Naval hospital there. Amazingly the midwife had just heard about it and said that one of the docs in the clinic is preforming it! Awesome so she recomend I go see him, he is really hard to get an appointment with and I wanted to see him from the beginning so I am hoping to just stay with this new doc now that I got my in with him. So the appointment started good and it just went down hill. I asked about my allergies and she said she would put in a script for me (which she didn't, grrr...). Then she asked if I had been doing anything different in the last 5 weeks and I said no and she said well you gained 9 lbs. Okay but that brings my total weight gain to 13 lbs including gaining back the 6 lbs I lost between 7 and 12 weeks, so really 7 lbs. She said oh well just watch it (hello like I am sitting around eating bon bons all day!), then she measured me and I am measuring 28 cm. So I looked at her and asked if I get another ultrasound to make sure that the baby isn't growing too much or just to see if I have a lot of fluid in there, which was the case with AJ I always measured huge with her. She said no everything looked fine in my 20 week ultrasound and the baby only measured 2 days bigger than my due date so she wasn't concerned. I then said I opted out of the triple screen (I had a false positive with Monkey and never wanted that stress again) and I only got a level I screen. She said well there isn'that much of a diff between a I and II. I said yes about 20-25 min and a tech that looks for more of the downs markers along with other defects. She just kinda looked at me and said there was no need for another scan. I got a level II with both AJ and Chubs since I opted out of the triple screen and that was Navy issued! (Then afterwards I *heard* of someone getting a 3D ultrasound through the Navy, oh well). We finished the appointment listening to the baby who as soon as she started trying to count the heartbeat proceded to kick the doppler off of him and hide so she couldn't find it again. So she said oh the baby moving a lot and I said not as much as my first but yes and he just is so low and my tailbone and lower back hurt along with having pelvic pressure. She said you have a long way to go to already be complaining about that. I think my eyes popped out of my head at this point. I don't bitch about my pain I know my back pain is primarely from carrying around a 30 lbs Chubs, but that doesn't explain the tailbone pain or pressure and now along with rapid weight gain and measuring big I was just surprised she didn't want to do any testing or anything. Oh well I guess in 5 weeks when I see this new doc I will finally get some answers. Right now I am not going to worry about it too much the baby has a strong heartbeat and does move around in there, I don't feel ill. Nothing is telling me to be too concerned I just didn't like the treatment I recieved. Seeing as I am already a hormonal time bomb my poor family got my brunt of it. Oh well I got them all to clean up the messes they had made and we got the house in order. Which is good since Flyboy invited a co-worker to dinner tomorrow. So now all I have to worry about tomorrow is the normal sweep and vaccumm and making enchillatas which is always nice.
