Rescheduled


So the Dr. appt I had last week? Changed to this week - Thursday. I cannot even begin to describe how mad I was that I had to wait another week. This Dr office is very busy - and there is only the one Dr. The only reason I have not left this practice for another one is because I really like her. She seems to be in tune with what I want/need. She was willing to try the Metformin first to see if that would help with the PCOS. I plan on talking to her tomorrow and letting her know how disappointed I was with her scheduling issues and staff. I waited on hold for 24 mins while trying to reschedule for this week's appt. They kept picking up the phone and putting me back on hold. It was sooo frustrating.

If I do get pregnant, I am going to switch to another practice. Probably the one that I had when I was pregnant with my daughter. They have only 3 Dr's in the office, which is nice because you get a chance to get to know each one. There is one other practice that I was considering until I found out that they had 11 Dr's - that is WAY to many people - you rotate so that you meet them all before you deliver, but you don't have time to get to know them.

SOOOO - I will post again after seeing the Dr. tomorrow. Hopefully she will give me some nice baby drugs that will actually work...

Worries

My my, how time flies when I'm not posting! Truthfully, I have not had much to say. I wish I could post a few times a week about things that are happening but I don't think anyone wants to hear about the fence we are putting up, or how we dodged yet another Tropical Storm (thankfully!). That is all that has been going on with me as of late.

Tomorrow is my Dr appt. I am kind of nervous, kind of scared. I am hoping that she just gives me some drug cocktail that will help me get pregnant. I am physically ready to be pregnant. Mentally, not so much. I really want another baby, I just worry about other things. My job, how my daughter will react if we do have another baby...things like that.

For starters...my job. I love my job - not too many people can say this. I worry about what will happen when I get pregnant. Will I be able to do my job? Will it be too physically demanding? Will I have bleeding episodes like I did with my 1st pregnancy? How long will I be able to work? Its not like my job is grueling - I can't say that, and I only work part time (5.5 hours a day), but I will have to do lifting...and some of the stuff I pick up is heavy! I also will be working outside, during the summer, in Florida, when it is very hot. The truck I drive does have AC, but I get in and out of the truck the whole time I am working.

Secondly, my daughter will be 3 in July. I always imagined having my kids 2 years apart so they would be close and have things in common. I am worried that she will be upset and jealous that there is a new baby in the house that is demanding mommy and daddy's attention when she is used to being the only one. She still sleeps with us in our bed and I really want her in her own bed but it is becoming harder and harder to get this going. It is really becoming an issue with me and I feel like I am not getting the support I need from my husband. (This is a whole other issue that I will save for a future post). Most nights I fall asleep on the couch so I can have a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Anyway...I have get going to bed (aka: the couch). I will let you know how the Dr appt goes.

Oh - and if anyone has been thru anything similar to my worries, please feel free to share! Thanks!
