Doctor

Yesterday I had a dr's appointment that was the beginning of the "boring" appointments.  Where all they do from now is weigh me, check my blood pressure, measure my uterus and listen to her heartbeat.  My appointment was at 4:20, so I got to College Station at about 2 and did some light shopping.  It was about 4 when I went into the dr's office and checked in and I told Colton on the phone right before I went in that I should be out of there around 4:45 and be on my way home.  Well 4:45 rolls around and I'm still in the waiting room!!!  I know this isn't too long of a time to wait for the dr (especially if you go in Giddings), but I usually have time to go to the bathroom and then they call my name, I usually don't even grab a magazine!  So I was getting VERY uncomfortable having to sit there for that long and having only an old Forbes magazine to read.  I was texting Colton and I told him that they shouldn't make pregnant ladies wait this long, somebody could get hurt!  So finally about 5:15 they call me back and I get to see my dr.  She said my weight gain and blood pressure look great and then she measured my uterus and we listened to her heartbeat.  I measured right at 22 cm (I'm 22 weeks, so right on target!) and her heartbeat was at 150/minute.  She said that at my next appointment we are going to order my diabetes test (so does that mean that I'll drink that stuff there at my next appointment?  If anyone knows fill me in).  She also told me that I should be sleeping on my left side now since I'm getting bigger so not to chance cutting off good circulation to the baby.  I told her that I've been trying really hard since the beginning to "train" myself to sleep on my left side but it's so hard for me because I've always been a back sleeper and I'm ALWAYS ending up on my back.  She laughed and said there's really nothing you can do about it just try to position some pillows and if you do wake up on your back to just roll back over.  I then asked her about me taking antacids (I pop those things like crazy!) because I get indigestion EVERY day.  She said they're all safe to take and it probably is just going to get worse if I already have it pretty bad now...great :)  So when I get home and open the door Colton has this pissed off look on his face and is surrounded by pieces of the crib that we ordered lol!!!  He said "why can't they make the directions simpler on these things, I've been at this for an hour already!"  So I helped him put it together (only took like 30 minutes!).  He got off a little early and he said he wanted to have it ready when I got home and he was going to have it in her room and surprise me but the poor thing couldn't figure it out, I told him it was very sweet of him to try though :)  So yay!  Now we have her crib up and ready, the bedding is in it just needs to all be washed and now we just have to move the queen bed out of there and paint!!!  I told him about my appointment (about sleeping on my side) and last night he woke me up and said "babe, you're on your right side...roll over" I laughed and said "thanks" and rolled to my left side.  This pregnancy thing isn't too hard, I'm just nervous about when she finally gets here...but at least I know I'll have a great partner helping me :)
