CH CH Changes

I don’t know if I posted about it much but I really did not like dr T. Back in September/October I found out I would have to apply for different insurance and I debated on whether or not I should ask about seeing a different dr once the new insurance kicked in. Although I was really unhappy with the practice I thought it was a bit late in the game to try and make a switch and figured I’d just tough it out. Then one day in early November something wonderful happened, I got a certified letter in the mail from Dr. T. saying he would no longer care for me, I guess our feelings were mutual. I called my soon to be insurance company and they gave me a list of dr I could call. The last group they gave me was a group I had thought about calling when I was first looking for a dr, the name sounded familiar and I thought I had friends that went there, but I kept thinking there was no way this was the same group since my insurance was so lousy(my new insurance is not much better than my old, just more expensive), I mean what are the odds a good dr was going to take my insurance. I looked up the other offices and decided this last one was the lesser of the evils and I should give them a try. Turns out this is the group friends have gone to, that‘ll teach me to make assumptions and not ask, and I really like this dr. The office is clean, the nurses are all professional, I don’t wait 2 hrs to be seen, they take a urine sample and check my blood pressure, and didn’t make me feel like a terrible person/mom for not getting the rogrham shot till after my 28th week.

I had my big U/S today and everything looks good. She has all her parts and they are in the right place, she is for sure a girl and not shy about letting it be known, and he said she weighs about 4lbs right now. I know the whole weight thing can be off by a lot, but this sounds like a reasonable guess, it would be her around 7lbs at 40 weeks, keelin was 7.9.

In other news, we got Keelin a toddler bed and tonight is her first night in it. I decided that the new bed would be the end of me rocking her to sleep and I expected a lot of crying but things went smoothly. When she would ask me to put her in her crib before she was asleep she would always end up having a canary when I would not pick her back up but I think the bars made her feel really separated from me. When I first put her in she got a little upset and started asking me to come here, but she quickly realized I was right there with her and she feel asleep fairly quickly and with no crying. Hopefully over the next two months I can get her to be ok with falling asleep with me just sitting in the room with her and not actually touching her. If not I guess will be sitting on the floor nursing Tierney while Keelin falls asleep, which really would not be the worse thing in the world, just not my preference.
