So after my crappy appt with my ob last week making me question whether I would even want him if I GKU again, I found out yesterday that he just lost privileges at the hospital for administrative reasons so as of right now he can't deliver babies. He's trying to get privileges at the other hospital in the area but I wouldn't want to deliver there. I think the universe is trying to tell me something and that something is find a new ob. Decision made.

It only took 2 1/2 hours but they finally realized that it's too damn cold for the a/c to be on at work this morning. I'm finally starting to thaw out.
sleepymonkey I'm with you, if you were already questioning him and then he lost rights to the hospital you'd want to deliver at, I would be done with questioning it.
Going for drinks and sushi (vegetable only bc raw fish no thanks) later on with another couple followed by the movies. She wants to see Brooklyn and me, MH, and her husband want to see The Reverent. But whatever, day off from work so it's all good.

I've seen both Brooklyn and The Revenant. Both a great movies! Totally different in every sort of way though. The Revenant is super intense with some graphic scenes. Brooklyn is a little more light-hearted and cute. I don't think you can go wrong with either one though!

sleepymonkey, I'd be looking for a new one as well! That all sounds pretty fishy to me. Hopefully you'll find another doc that you love (well, as much as you can love an OBGYN that is).

My siblings all work in education so they are off for MLK day. I am not, damn corporate America. I layered up this morning (-25*!) and took a blanket with me in the car. I don't mind a cold winter, but this is ridiculous. We better be in store for some fantastic summer days too!

Yep- corporate America here too! At least my commute was light this morning.
sleepymonkey I'd def say that is a sign from somewhere. FX you find someone you love.
AFM, I'm not at work but I'm never at work on Monday so this is just another day for me. Got laundry going and I just came in from shoveling the driveway. The temps are in the single digits with subzero windchills, so that was fun.

Good to know!! I do want to see Brooklyn, but I feel like since it's a double date with guys we should meet in the middle but that won't happen here lol.

So now that I'm working with an RE and am not due for my annual exam until June, I wonder what do I do if I get pregnant before then. Should I find a new ob now, or just have one in mind and only call if I get pregnant?

I'm pretty sure it was a snow makeup day here so we didn't even get lighter traffic. I live by a school and love that I can leave 5 min later in the summer.

I have this same issue so +1 for guidance. I have not been to my GYN since starting with my RE. I don't know if if I should be going but not sure what he's check for at this point?
sleepymonkey - I have no experience with this, but I would probably start looking for one now, just so you don't have a problem finding one you like that is taking new patients. I personally would want to find one just to kind of get to know them and know who you may be dealing with later. And get them up to speed on your history. KWIM?

So MH's phone has been acting weird so we took it to Verizon. While there, I mentioned that my battery life hasn't been great. They ran a test and found the battery to be fine but he said "I don't know what Tapatalk is, but you must be on it a lot because that's the app with the highest battery usage." LOL at least I know that's what's going on!

sleepymonkeykleigh I asked my RE to recommend an obgyn and I've been very happy with her. It's in the same hospital and basically work side by side. Also, fyi, once you start your ttc journey with an RE you stay with that office for monitoring when you get bfp. Some RE's graduate you at 8 weeks. My RE monitors me for the entire 1st tri. Good question to ask how your RE handles that.
littlelion Thank you so much! I guess I was always hesitant bc it's taken so long to conceive that I felt it was putting the cart before the horse. I'll ask my RE next appt!

So, those health screenings I was bitching about? Mine came back normal as expected, but MH has high cholesterol. He's only 33 and thin, but has a family history. I thought he had had checked it semi-regularly, but I guess not. The $150 incentive is what it took.
I'm researching modifications to our diet. I guess eggs are out? That's a bit sad.

I'm at work and wish I was at home under blankets. It is too cold to go out in this weather...we are under a wind chill advisory I think until noon (unless they extended it). Very thankful for a garage and remote start on days like this.

Random from church yesterday...warning children/babies mentioned:
Little girl (we teach the Sunday School music) came up to me after music time to tell me she has a baby in her tummy. I played along and asked if she knew if it was a boy or girl and when she was due. She said she doesn't know and won't know until she is a grown up and it come out when she becomes a mommy.
She was very cute while saying all this with her dimples but is it horrible that I had this thought in the back of my mind of I hope that is true when you are grown up that you can have kids.

I would have him check with his physician. My cholesterol is always elevated over normal levels but my Dr says it's just genetic and that we will watch it to see if it changes over time before making big changes.
