Yeah, I know. Again I have to confess that I'm a bad blogger. I honestly think of posts to write all the time. Then when it comes time to post them...I don't know. I worry that what I write sounds stupid. That it's not worth your time to read it. That I should be focusing on other things and not obsessing over all things baby. I so want to have balance in my life and am trying really hard to do just that. I've been a bit of a blog stalker and have been obsessively checking out some decorating blogs. I'm full of ideas and inspiration now so I'm trying to get myself away from the computer and do something constructive. I have about 5 projects on the go right now, I'll try and post some pictures once I'm all done.
Had my appointment with my endocrinologist last week. She's usually pretty awesome, but just not super helpful on the PG front. But I don't mind so much now that I have an actual RE. Because her office is in a teaching facility, I often will get seen by a Resident prior to seeing the actual Dr. So the Resident calls me in, weighs me then has me sit down. As she sits down, I notice that she's pregnant. Great, just what I wanted to see. She goes: "I'm sorry to tell you, but you've gained weight since your last visit". And I said "Are you freaking kidding me? A size 2, little pregnant lady is talking to me about my weight and how to lose it?"
No, I didn't actually say that! But I sure wanted to! She just irritated the heck out of me. And kept rubbing her belly the whole time we talked. But, long story short, I do need to lose some weight. I hate hearing that though I know it's true.
The RE's office had given me a bunch of requisitions for blood work so I've gone to the same clinic the last couple times to get it drawn. They've seriously got a needle-wielding butcher on staff there! After yesterday's blood draw, I still can hardly bend my arm and have a bruise that's probably 2 inches wide and 2 inches long. And that was just for one tube of blood. I hate to see what my arm will look like if I go to her for my CD2 draws where I'm sure it'll be 6 or 7 tubes.

Don't feel bad about not blogging! I've felt the need to apologize too though, so I know where you're coming from.
ReplyDeleteOh those belly-rubbers drive me crazy. It makes me want to scream at them. I wouldn't sit here and rub my belly in their face... so irritating!
Sorry about the blood-draw butcher. The best blood draws I've had were using a baby needle. Takes longer but you can barely feel it and it barely leaves a mark. Hope you get someone better next time.
Good luck with your projects! Can't wait to see pics :)
Ugh that is so frustrating. Belly rubbers when they know you aren't pregnant always feels like a "ha ha..I got something you don't". I have a belly rubber at the front desk of my RE's! SO annoying
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hate blood -draw butchers. I had one recently with my pre IVF cycle workup. She was obviously brand new at it, but SO crap she actually made me bleed out and couldn't get blood into the vial. So she tried the other arm and and I had to say, AGAIN, it hurts A LOT MORE when you do it so SLOWLY. Like I TOLD you the FIRST time. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteAnd DON'T get me started on the belly rubbers.... Gack!
Anyway, good to hear from you again, and looking forward to viewing the projects.
Sorry about the bad blood draw. Is it possible to request someone else?
ReplyDeleteI hate having a doctor (and a skinny one at that) comment or admonish me about my weight. I know I'm overweight and I don't need you bringing it up. Stupid doctor.
I always come up with ideas to blog about, but when it comes to actually doing it, my mind goes blank too!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the size 2 resident and blood draw pain. I hope all comes back well though.
I always think the same thing when I go to blog. I feel like it sounds stupid and no one will care. My own insecurity, I guess. Hopefully they'll do a better job next time you get blood drawn. I've had times where there was no bruise and times where it was really bad, and they don't seem to correlate with how much blood is drawn.
