What a great day! This is how it should have been from the beginning. The doctors appointment went great!!! Right as you walked in the door it was like a sigh of relief.
Matt came too... which made it even greater!
On the down side i now weigh 222... I gained to much weight again!!! Dr. Gilman is going to chart it out so he has a better idea, but i just gave him my records today, so he will go over them. He was awesome! He spent like an hour with us. So now that i finally get good information from a doctor... I now know, that i am not dilated, or anything. The baby is indeed head down... But too high up!!!
He not only did an exam but an ultrasound as well, to find the baby's position. Also that means not only did Matt get to hear the heartbeat, but also see the baby!!!  The heart rate was 147. And we couldn't get a print out of the baby's face from the ultrasound because her head was always turned the wrong way!!! She is such a lil wiggler!! But i did sneak a peak before the wiggle butt started, and she was sucking on her thumb. If u notice from her old ultrasound, her hand was up there too. ...so that's twice now, we have intruded on her thumb sucking. I also finally have info, on what else there is for options besides an epidural. :) the doc also said that any time we want to induce we can (so that she doesn't get to big) ... But he also said at this point i am measuring "right on" for size... so I have no idea what the other doctor was going on about... also I found out that I had tested positive for e-coli  sometime in the beginning of the pregnancy...yeah never heard anything about that?

Also, There was only one thing Matt didn't like about Dr. Gilman: Matt didn't get to cut the cord.
well we found out why today. I do remember Kyla needed a vacuum to get out.. why? apparently with the preeclampsia and such... Kyla's heart rate started to drastically drop. So he had to get her out asap. So now we know...

 I have an appointment for next Thursday and I can't wait!!!

so no doctors appointment today...oh, I had one scheduled. :P
I did have an appointment for 1 or something... I got a call from his nurse around 3ish...
"you have missed your scheduled appointment, would you like to reschedule for..."
and I cut her off... "no"...lol that felt good :P

I did have an appointment with my state nurse at 12:30.
She was really helpful ...as always :)

but the real action was at home today!
I got threw to Dr. Gilman's office and guess what!!!???!!!
I got in!
I have an appointment for june 7th at 11am!
I called nana excited!! We were both super thrilled!!!
but then I had a call waiting... so I told Nana I'd call her back.
Guess who it was?
Dr. Gilman's nurse! They called back! I got an earlier appointment for june 3rd at 3:15!!!
WHOOOO!!!!

05/20/10
9:30 doc appointment...
Ok I got there at 9:10... I was the only one there. then at 9:15 two people showed up. then we all waited...
then at 9:30, the girl who apparently had the 9:00 got in. then at 9:45, the other girl (who had the 9:15) got to go in.
Then finally at 10:15 I got in.... so not only to I get less then adequate care, I also have to wait forever for it!

I'm finally got in and guess what I gained another 5lbs. -in two weeks... that can't be good!
but guess what? For the first time captain do nothing (Dr. Fait) actually said something about it!
but... still no weight help. This is all that happened:
doc-you gained 5lbs in 2 weeks that's not good.
me- yeah, I don't get it. I mostly eat cereal and subway, and I'm on my feet the whole time I'm at work. I don't know what's up?
doc- do exercise at all? (he said it in a put down kind of tone...this from a guy who's extra large shirt is always bursting at the buttons.)
me- yeah I go disk golfing almost every day. and my daily walks are about a block long minimum. 
doc- well golf is stop and go, you need exercise
me- well disk golf isn't that stop and go, its more like hiking with throwing?
it was at this time he must have decided he spent to much energy on this and changed the subject by mentioning that my strep b test is today.
... I tried to ask him about if i should extend my daily walks, or if there is some sort of specific exercise I should be doing, but he had moved on :(

So about the strep b test, I was given a sheet to put over my lap and had to me nudie tude from the waist down. I was excited! I'm finally going to get a few answers! Like am I dilated, effaced? are you going to see a head :P
...but no. sadly no. he did the "test" he had a swab and he barley looked under the sheet. then he was on his way out the door... UMMM excuse me!
I had to put my hand out and kinda loudly said wait!
I got a look like uuuuggg now what.
I told him "hold on I still have questions!"
doc-ok...
me- how big am I? what am I measuring? Am I measuring too big?
doc- this is your second pregnancy so it's normal to be all little bigger.
and off he ran to the door again...
me- wait
doc- what
well I was wondering... because my grandpa just died... well we are having a memorial dinner on the 31st. and I don't want to miss it. Is there anyway that i could be induced early or if it gets close you can stop labor?
his reply- they are waiting 2 weeks to bury him? (as if he were implying I was lying about it)
I was shocked, I mean most people at least say sorry for your lose?
and then as I sat there in disbelief He went out the door. 
REALLY?
he didn't even answer one of my questions... what is he an ex politician?
I had more questions? uuuugggggggg!

Today I also had an 11:00 appointment with the state nurse, but she had to reschedule. She had a death in the family :( That stinks! she has been the only one to really help, it's like I go waste my time at the doctor and then meet with her where she actually helps! She is so helpful, i feel bad that bad things happen to good people.

ahhhhhhhh!

05/21/10 -Friday
As you know I have been trying really hard to find a new doctor. I remembered there was a list of doctors that take my hmo. And the State Nurse office had one. So I went down there. As I said my particular nurse is out for the week, but another nurse helped me out. She couldn't find the list, but she asked what was up, and really helped out alot! She got me some info, and got way further in the 15 minutes we spent together, then I had for the last couple of months! She got info, I never got from receptionists. SO guess what! We have a possibility! unfortunately they don't except my hmo...until June 1st. ...but still It is a ray of hope!!!!  

05/22/10 -Saturday
Today is my last day at work. (Friday was suppose to be, but she asked me to work Saturday, and I need the $$ so... joy) But when I got there she wanted a note saying I quit today... not maternity leave. ummm what? she said she would just do a re-hire... yeah I don't think so.
I only had to work 11:00-2:00 but at 1:15 I started to get a horrible cramp. I couldn't even stand up straight. The cramp ended at 2:45. I was concerned.... but at the same time I didn't really want to call my doctor... cause well he sucks. But anyway an hour long cramp can't be good so I tried his pager thing, at 3:00... nothin, so at 3:30 I tried again...then again at 3:35... he called me back after that, I told him what was going on and the he said go to St. Mary's and we will monitor you. I said ok, but then he said you have to go to St. Mary's on the lake, because I'm only 36 weeks...uuummm what? He said before I had to be 35 weeks and then I can deliver at St. Mary's Ozaukee... the one down the street from me. but any way I drove all the way out to Milwaukee...The nurse put on some monitors, and let me tell you at least some good came from this :P I got to see baby's heart rate for a while The HR went between, 130 and 148. Anyway, I don't know why but I started to get a lil dizzy and got a killer headache. I just started to feel loopy. But then the truth came out... Dr. Jerk walks threw the door... The reason I had to drive all the way out there was because he was on call there at the time. Ummm..k. You know I would have went out there, there is no reason to lie! Anyway. He said the cramping feeling was just my hips widening, and he said it like it was something I should have known and was wasting his time... Ok but then why did he tell me to come down here?
So I just sat there and at about 6:00 he was ready to discharge me... yeah thanks for wasting my time...
So as he says the nurse will discharge me when they are done with a delivery, in a very snooty tone. He asked "well do you have any questions?" It sounded as if he were in a debate with someone not a conversation. But I really felt like crap, and had a killer migraine, and felt woozy and loopy. And I just couldn't focus or think of any. So I told him, "not now, I just feel loopy and can't think of anything." And then he said "so you have No questions.."  Like he was accusing me of something... So I Said " No, I have lots of questions, I just don't feel very good right now and can't think of any." I was thinking to myself well if the jerk is actually going to listen now...  I can ask him on Tuesday...(the next appointment). Then he snapped back "Well write them down, because I don't want another call from a county nurse!" and then left.
...really...
So that's the way your going to be? I was so mad. why does he think he can just treat people like crap? So I got "released" and all. and started to drive home. I called Nana and she said we should go to Rich's Restaurant to relax. And at 7:56 I decided his no good butt is outta here! So I picked up grandma and we went out to eat. What I came up with, is that hopefully I will get the other doctor, so....just keep my legs crossed till the first? But If I were to go early I will just go to St. Mary's and when they ask who my doctor is, I will just ask for the attending. *Sigh* So much unnecessary drama BS!

Very hard day today!
Lots of braxton hicks and Baby is dropping!!!
AHHH!
 My back!


In fear of not being ready... I have the car-seat out and installed in the car!

(On the not so great side... it turns out that Washington county won't except my insurance because I live in Ozaukee county :( poo! so I'm still looking for a new doctor.)
