No news... :-(

We had a very disappointing Friday.  After months of the unknown - C-section vs natural, 3-4 weeks early versus whenever baby B makes his/her arrival, and being told that our next appointment would be the deciding factor - the appointment didn't happen.

First we had our ultrasound that morning.  Baby is adorable!  Has big full lips still, and definitely is filling out and looking less alien-like and more baby-like!  Although I think we had the worst tech we've had yet (and we've had 7 ultrasounds!).  She didn't say anything, and the 40 minutes of near silence with small "Measuring the kidneys" or "Here's the profile" left me worried that something was wrong.  In the past the techs would tell me what they were measuring and say something positive about how everything looked good.  No feedback or conversation with this lady. 

After the ultrasound the Dr. on staff (not our regular one) came in to tell us the placenta hadn't moved, but she wasn't convinced it wouldn't yet.  She wanted to schedule ANOTHER ultrasound and continue to monitor it. While it's good news, it's annoying because I just want an answer.  If they've been watching it this long, and it still hasn't moved enough, I'm ready to just make the decision that it won't.  And what if it does move, but ends up not moving enough and is a risk/issue at birth?!  I know a c-section isn't most people's first choice, but now I'm worried to not have one and hurt the baby or myself in the process of going through labor.  Leaving the ultrasound, I was anxious to get our Doctor's opinion, not someones that has only viewed our chart that one time.

(Can you tell I'm still frazzled?)

So we waited the rest of the day to go to my 32 week appt with our Doctor.  Late afternoon, we check in, swing through the lab and get comfortable in the waiting room.  After a few minutes, our nurse comes out and apologizes that our Dr. had to run to the hospital for an emergency delivery, and we need to reschedule.  I was bummed, but obviously the other situation was much more important.  I was just disappointed we wouldn't get her opinion that day.  So now I wait, again. I'm going to see her tomorrow, but she's now double-booked for part of her day.  I hope she won't be too rushed to have this conversation with me.

The waiting continues....
