Weekly wisdom: Don’t make the pregnant lady mad.

Let me get y’all up to speed on my doctor’s appointment yesterday.  Grab the popcorn. My whole day was ruined. First of all, I have been seeing the same doctor for 12 years now. He has delivered all of our babies. I love him. When I started seeing him when I was 18 he had his own practice and a cozy office. Then just before I got pregnant with Reece he decided he wanted to teach and moved to our university’s medical center to do so. Yay for him, boo for me. It reminds me of what I think the health dept. would be like. There’s those types of people and the employees suck. They are always bickering which annoys me. Now the nurses are great, just the receptionist, etc. not so great.

For my first appointment with my first three children I have always seen my doctor and he has always done an ultrasound. This time when I made that first appointment I was told no different so I went expecting to see the baby. Well now your first appointment is a nurse appointment only. I was disappointed and felt bad for dragging Josh for no reason, but was not too upset. At the end of that appointment, I scheduled the ultrasound and my next doctor’s appointment for yesterday.

Hubby and I arrived at 9 for my appointment at 9:15. I signed in and took a seat. About 10 minutes later the receptionist called me up and informed me that the ultrasound tech was out sick. She was cold and didn’t care. I was pissed. At the very least they could have called me ahead of time to let me know so that I wouldn’t be there so early because my appt. to see my dr. was not until 9:45. PLUS I once again had my hubby with me for no reason. GRRRRRRR!

I have never been so mad. EVER. Then the longer we sat waiting in the waiting room the more mad and upset I got. I just am anxious about making sure everything is ok with the baby and that ummmmmmmm there’s not 14 babies in there! HAHA!

By the time I got back into a room I knew I was about to lose it. My doctor walked in the room and the tears came flowing! He felt so bad. And then he felt even worse when I told him it was my second disappointment! He got me rescheduled for next week. He feels all of his patients frustration, thankfully. Hopefully things will be better. The last thing I want to do is change doctors because the staff sucks!

If you made it to the end of this rant…you deserve a doughnut! OR some chocolate ice cream! ;)
