Almost 14 weeks!

Yay for 14 weeks! It's been a while since I've updated on here! Yowsa. Quite a bit has happened. I went in for a check up on Nov. 24th and everything looked really good. Yay! I had to have one of those skin tests where they check it in 48 hours? I'm totally forgetting what it's called right now, but y'all know what I mean. Well, I call the Doctor's office to ask a question about the meds I had to take when I hit the 2nd trimester and they are all in a panic because they've been calling my home number instead of cell and couldn't get a hold of me to come in by 4:30 that day! My appointment was for 7! The chick that scheduled me at 7 to have the thing checked shouldn't have because there wasn't a Doctor in there. After they wanted me to be there by 4:30 and it finally sunk in that I don't get out of work until 5:30 and that I'm DOWNTOWN, they then wanted me to go to Schaumburg. I laughed and said are you kidding? You think I'm going to make it out there by 7 when I barely make it to the office in Buffalo Grove by 7? Then they were telling me I'd have to have the test redone. That didn't sit well with me. I asked the lady (which was the 3rd one they had put me on phone with, by the way), so since YOU guys screwed up and scheduled me for a time you shouldn't have, then MY insurance will end being billed TWICE for YOUR screw up? I told her they were crazy. After I told her I'd need the appropriate forms to get my records since I'll be transferring to a new practice after this, she said she'd stay and read the result on my arm. (Keep in mind, the whole thing took less than 5 minutes) She said she'd stay at the office and catch up on work. I told her not to do me any favors at this point. I ended up going there, but that was it. I had decided right then that I was done. Ever since then I've been strangely calm! Okay until I think about the fact I'm having a kid!

So then last Wednesday I was driving to work...okay not actually driving, sitting in traffic moving about 2 feet per minute and next thing I know the moron behind isn't paying attention and smacks into me. Not even smacks, bumps. It was enough to scare the shyt out of me. There was no damage done to either of our cars and the cop basically laughed at me for calling 911. The guy that bumped me also yelled at me because, "was going to be late for a class," so he was annoyed I called the cops. I glared at him and said that I'm 3 months pregnant and that I called to cover my ass. He got a little freaked out and asked if I was okay, and told me his wife was 5 months pregnant. I looked at him and said, "If your wife got rear-ended in traffic wouldn't you want her to call the cops?" He shut up. I seriously was fine, it scared me more than anything. The cop finally showed and pretty much made me feel silly for calling until I told HIM I was 3 months pregnant and covering my ass. Then he understood. No tickets were given out, just a medal for the idiot behind me's stupidity.

I called the Doctor the next day and of course the woman on the phone was yelling at me to come in RIGHT NOW. I told her I can't. She got all pissy and started mumbling some shit about insurances and everything. I told her it wouldn't be going through insurances. Then she got pissy again and said didn't you call the police? I said yes I did and the officer told me not to bother since there was no damage done to either car. She spouted off about how my tummy hit the steering wheel. I laughed and said no it didn't, I was sitting there and he was maybe going 8 mph! There was no tummy bumping the wheel. DUH, if there were I'd have been in the ER not that frickin' office! I finally asked her, "Okay so tell me this? If I am actually having a miscarriage is there anything you guys can do to stop it from happening?" She got all quiet, "No, there isn't." I said, "Well if that's what's going to happen, it's going to happen, it's out of our hands at that point." Then she gave the phone back to the receptionist to schedule my appointment. I HAD to go to this practice for this because I've found some numbers to call for a new Doctor but of course I haven't called! I called today! Like I told Chuck, any office has got to better than this one! My big thing is where they deliver. We live in an area where they deliver in crazy places that wouldn't make sense for us to even TRY and get to.

And that is why I haven't been on here in a while! Hopefully everything will go nicely from here on!
