Dr's

I am waiting for my computer to finish uploading 27 more pictures for part 2...

I went to the Dr this morning.  I was so happy, my blood pressure was awesome (109/76) last time it was 128/i can't remember.  Anyways, since that has been my big worry, I was happy that it was down quite a bit.  I gained about 2 lbs, putting my total at -8.  Still in the negative, but I don't mind.  I was a bit annoyed that the Dr came in and made some small talk for a minute, laid me back and got the heart beat and then walked out the door and said to tell the ladies up front to schedule me for my ultrasound.  They have never measured me, or told me how fast the heart beat was.  Not a huge deal, but I just felt a big rushed.  Then I get up to the front to schedule the ultrasound and the can't do it until almost the end of June (i'll be over 21 weeks then), and the dr they scheduled it with is the one that delivered Kaitlyn and I really don't like him.  Grrr.

And then I realized that the day I scheduled it is the day before my cousins wedding, in PORTLAND.  I don't know for sure if I am going or not, but I would like to keep the option open (we'll see how much gas is...yikes).  

So I have finally decided it is time to find a new Dr.  I want to go to the new hospital up in Murray, I'd just feel better there.  The only problem is that I need to find someone this month, well what is left of it, so I can pay them with our flexible spending before it runs out on June 1.  Too much to do I tell ya!  My friend is a L&D nurse and has some names she is going to give me.  

Oh, and one more thing that kinda bugged me...I have been so stressed about blood pressure and getting toxemia again, and I asked the nurse today what my bp was at 39 weeks, the day they induced me...it was 140.  I don't know if that is high enough to be induced and put on magnesium?  My nurse friend said they don't do anything until it is over 145 for 2 or more consistent readings.  So I feel like they went a little overboard with it and I have been worried for the last 4+ years for nothing, really...hmmm...maybe another reason to make the switch!  I will be back later with more pictures!  Thanks for listening to my ramblings...
