06-4-2009 - Here's my update for today

My mood while writing this blog: good I guess

So today was suppose to be an ok day when I woke up..didn't work out that way at all.

Well let's see where to start, I got woke up by text from Steve. He wanted to know what time my appointment was today and also wanted to know again if it would be ok if Little Miss Bev could come along. I didn't even bother responding to it. I mean seriously. This was suppose to be the first appointment he was going to come too finally. After last weeks appointment he had told me he wanted to go today, so I was like whatever no biggie. Well he mysteriously forgot that he had a dentist appointment and figured it would be ok if Bev took his place today. So anyways he never showed and neither did she which was completely fine by me.

My appointment for the NST was @ 1pm so I got to the hospital @ 12:15pm to register. Finally after sitting for over an hour they called my name and I go into the little registration room....that lady in there could not have more of a bitch. She definately woke up on the wrong side of the bed or someone peed in her Cheerio's because her attitude sucked big time. Anyways registration finally was over and I make my way to L&D for my test. Now keep in mind while I was waiting to register I had called them to say I was there waiting to get registered but there was 12 people in front of me and that I would be late...whoever I talked to said that was fine and thanked me for calling. Well it really wasn't ok. I goto the nurses station and sign in, the nusre there starts telling me in a very stern voice...your appointment was @ 1pm not 1:45pm and now that I was late I was going to have to wait because I put everyone else behind. I started to explain to her what happen and all she said there is no excuse for ever being late. WOW! I didn't know that showing up 45 mins early was being late. I also didn't know with everyone at the registration desk taking lunch was my fault either. So anyways cranky nurse sets me up for the NTS and again starts with her Lovely Attitude saying why isn't the heartbeat louder? Next thing I know she is taking the straps and hooked me up making them as tight as they will possibly go and left the room. So here I am laying there listening to the faint heartbeat and the all of sudden nothing. Nothing for about a minute of so, so I go ahead and move the strap to try to get the heartbeat going thru the monitor...no luck. So I go ahead and resituate myself, move the straps, still nothing so I press the little red button. I timed it...10mins go by before my "favorite" nurse comes back in and says What? Again WOW!!!! I explain to her nothing is showing on the monitor and immediately she starts accussing me of fiddleing with it. But yet she's not trying to do anything to get this test over with. For some reason she is more worried about being a total and complete bitch from hell. Next thing she's leaves the room never touches the strapps or the monitor. So I'm laying there listening to nothing, watching nothing show on the montior. As soon as I loosen the strapps up and relieve all the pressure from them being tight around my belly the heartbeat gets so loud it scares me because the volume was all the way up. Finally at 2:57 I was done, which was great because I had to go over for my regular Ob appointment @ 3pm.

Ok so now I'm over at my next appointment and the waiting room in completely full. Again I'm stuck sitting for another 45 mins before I get called back. Come to find out the other Ob that shares her office with my Ob has gone into pre-mature labor. And with all the paitents in the office my doctor had to take on both her paitents, the other doctors paitents, and also keep up on the progress of her co-worker/paitent. Needless to say my doctor was a wee bit overwheelmed. I get the normal things done. Blood Pressure was normal even after the whole expirence upstairs, gained another pound. I go into the little room and sit there on the table waiting and more waiting, an hour goes by and still no doctor. I go out and look for her or one of the nurses.....my doc was over at the hospital delivering someones baby, so I had to wait for her. Finally, she comes back she does a cervical again to see if I've dialated anymore. Well the answer to that is a BIG FAT NO! Still stuck @ 1 cm. I've been stuck there forever now. My cerivx isn't doing anything. It hasn't started to thin out at all...period..nothing. She even tried to break my membrane and she couldn't, it's still to thick. In other words I'm going to be going the distance. He is in there for the long haul. He must be very content because she had said give it about and hour or so and you should start to feel some mild contrations and they should continue. Well nothing has happen. Nothing is going on, no pressure, no contrations, no back pain, nothing. So I finally get to leave after being at the hospital for 5 hours. I have another NST set up for thursday---yippy I'm so excited to see my favorite nurse again. And then I get to go for my 40 week appointment on monday. Unless something happens this week. Which I don't think anything is going to change.

Finally I make it home...completely exhausted from all the sitting around all day. I eat a sandwhich, turn phone off and go to bed. Take a two hour nap and turn my phone on. To my surprise there are 3 messages from "my new best friend" Bev. I guess she didn't get her point across to me clearly during the first message. All three messages are her basically letting me know how I need to stop being a bitch, she hasn't done anything to me so I need to let go of her boyfreind, I need to get over the fact that he's with her because they are going to be together no matter if I like it or not, I need to get over not including her boyfriend in his baby's life, I need to start including her in EVERYTHING because she's not going anywhere. I need to accept the fact that she will be taking care of this baby when Steve has him. At first I was pissed about the messages (I saved them by the way). I knew I was going to have a late dinner with Steve and his mom---she didn't know. Anyways I meet up with them and let them both listen. Oh this was exactly what I needed to see for myself, I needed to see how they were both going to react to her messages. I can honestly say it was great. They both could not believe how she was being and what she was saying. His mom is completely pissed off, I have never seen this lady this mad ever. And he was right up there with her. I was actually finding it a little funny so I was sorta smiling the whole time, because finally they both got to see her in her finest momment and they finally get why I have such an issue/attitude with her. I didn't say anything negative towards her at all during dinner. I just sat there and let them do and say what they wanted too. By the end of dinner neither of them had anything nice to say about her at all. He finally has put it together on what a pysho she is, he has also figured out that she is a totally differnet person when he's not with her----the blinders have been opened I guess. So I guess we'll see how tomorrow plays out.

So that was my awesome day. Still pregnant. Still dealing with crazy girlfriend. Fianlly got my point across to the dad and the grandma. Oh I almost forgot. When I came home I decided to sterilize the nipples and bottles. I'm standing there at the stove minding my own business and all of a sudden while I'm dumping one of the bottles out with the boiling water there was a loud crash outside. Wouldn't you know it, it startled me and I spill the water all over my hand. Yep I burned the hell out of my right hand. Hurts like hell. I have no idea what the crash was either. So now I'm goin to bed and I'm goin gto try all over again tomorrow.
