Baby #2

So, we had my 12-week doctor's appointment last week. We waited an hour and a half to be seen - here's a picture of Drew "reading" while he waited for me to get my blood work done. The baby's heartbeat sounded good and the dr. said everything looks great!
I liked the dr. but I actually switched to another dr. the next day. Some things she said made me uneasy, and I felt like maybe our personalities didn't quite fit. For example, when we heard the heartbeat, Drew smiled. It was so precious to me because he recognized it as the baby (we had been talking about it and preparing him) and the dr. sarcastically said, "oh, he doesn't know what's going on." The other thing was she told me there was no videotaping at the hospital and I wouldn't be able to find an Atlanta-area hospital that would allow it. I had looked online researching this hospital and chose it because it did allow pics and video but she said, "times have changed." So, I called the hospital when I got home and they said they do allow videotaping but it's at the discretion of the dr. So, I obviously felt she misled me and was not completely honest with me. Another thing was that she didn't do an ultrasound. I keep saying that we were excited to see the baby today and she said her policy is if there's nothing wrong and everything looks healthy, she waited until there was a reason to do one. I didn't feel like she would really budge on it and I didn't like the way she wasn't listening to me.
So, all in all I chose to call another dr. and it was one I was originally going to go with but couldn't get into as fast. I talked to her nurse, asked all kinds of questions, (she does allow videotaping at the same exact hospital) and felt much better. I look forward to my next appointment!


Here's Drew playing in the curtain in the dr.'s office of course...




and here's David thinking he only had to take off about an hour for work and it ended up being a half a day!
