Doctor #4

Yesterday I went to my OB appt. I didn't like my first OB, so I found a new one. I saw him last month. This month he was on vacation, so I saw his associate and I really liked her. But once she opened up my file and saw all of the lab reports from my first OB she decided that I was too high risk for them to see me in their office without the consultation of a perinatologist. So, now I'm waiting on an appointment with Doctor #4. The perinatologist's office is in Springfield, so I'm really hoping that he releases me back into the care of my new OB. Springfield is quite a drive from here. And towards the end of the pregnancy I will have to be monitored very closely and will have to go in for NSTs (non-stress tests) where the baby and I are hooked up to monitors for an hour or so each week. So, I'm really hoping that the perinatologist will allow me to do this in Lebanon. If not, then we'll just get a lot of miles in. The pastors have already offered to drive me to Springfield anytime I need to go... they like all the restaurants there! :>) The good news is that the perinatologist will be doing a very in-depth 45min ultrasound when I get in to see him. I can't wait to just sit and stare at every inch of our little girl and to see just how perfect she is.
