Appointment update
aaa
It seems I was being optimistic when I thought I would have my OB appoinment on time yesterday, after being cancelled at 9 pm last wednesday.
She had scheduled me at 12 pm and I called at 11.45 am to make sure everything was ok and I wouldn't have to wait for several hours in the waiting room. All I got was the answering machine, which means no one was at the office to even open the door had I decided to go there without calling (mind you, she schedules her first appointment at 11 am every day).
At 12.15 pm the nurse finally arrived and answered the phone. She told me the doctor wasn't there yet (obviously!) and there were a few ladies already in the waiting room (no shit!). She told me to call her back at 1 pm. Can you see were this is going?
I called at 1 pm and she told me to be there at 1.30 and I would be the first to be seen (good news). When I got there, at 2 pm, she told me the doctor wasn't there yet and would take another 20 minutes. By 2.50 pm the doctor finally arrived and I was indeed the first person to go in.
So all in all, I only waited in the waiting room for about an hour, which really isn't that bad. But I can see the next few months, and especially the third trimester, are going to be hard.
As for the appointment itself, it went well. She went through the results of the tons of tests she ordered, read the ultrasound report and declared everything was fine. She weighted me and I'm weighting exactly the same as I did when I got pregnant with R. I have gained 1 pound since I found out I was pregnant but she doesn't need to know that right?
She asked me if I wanted to try to listen to the heartbeat on the doppler but warned me we probably would not be able to since my belly is still pretty much inexistant. We did try and we did not succeed. So I'll have to wait until my ultrasound on the 19th to see my baby once again. Until then, we wait.
Oh, by the way, I'm sick and I did not go to work today. I have a fever and a cough. It may sound like a trivial cold but when you are an ashtmatic and are not allowed to take any of your regular meds it can get quite scary. So send me any left over positive vibes, will you?

Oh I am sending good vibes, I am. Blah, sound sterrible. How fun. March sucks. Doctors here suck. Blah sucks. Need me some summer.
(BTW, JenP from Reich Ovary is alright, baby's thriving, all fine and dandy.)

Best of luck with your cold. And, what asthma meds do you normally take? I'm on Pulmocort specifically because it is ok for the TTC time and pregnancy. Do you think maybe you could get a different asthma med?
Oh yeah...I thik I would have gone crazy waiting for that appointment.
