New Stresses

This past weekend was nice. One of my oldest friends threw me a baby shower! Isaac surely has all the bog things he needs now and we have a few more weeks to get the small stuff. I am very blessed for the few but awesome friends and family we have.

Yesterday, was my 33 week checkup. Despite the headaches and rising BP the doc wasn't concerned. The BP is not high by her standards, I'm not swollen, and she claims the headaches are just pregnancy headaches. She is suddenly concerned that the last sono (2 MONTHS AGO) was still measuring me 2 weeks small (as I did w/ Lexi). Then she springs on me that they couldn't see an outlet for Isaac's heart on the last sono (AGAIN, 2 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!!). Um, why wasn't I made aware of this????? So, she's sending me to Maternal and Fetal Medicine. Then she tells me NOT to be concerned. REALLY??? YOU are concerned enough to send me to a high-risk doctor rather than the regular ultrasound techs, withheld info from me for 2 months, but I SHOULDN'T be concerned???? Not only am I concerned, I'm angry!!!!!!! I held it together pretty well, only because Ed and Lexi were w/ me and the hubby gets nervous when it comes to things like this. I looked at him, could instantly tell he was worried and trying to hold it together for me, and I couldn't flip out and have him worried about me as well. Last night, when it was just us, he looked at me and said, "I just don't think anything is wrong. I believe he's going to be okay." And how could I answer? I firmly believe if God brought us to it, He'll get us through it!!

I called the place yesterday when I got home from the doctor's office. I was upset to learn that they shut their phones off at 4PM. The answering service was quick to explain that their office doesn't neccessarily close at 4 but they turn their phones off at 4. What kind of crap is that???? Another stressor. Anywho, they open in an hr and 15 mins and I will be calling. I'm eager to see just what is going on with our little Isaac guy.
