Just starting my 3 hour! I was just thinking that I already feel crappy and it has probably only been 15 minutes... Turns out it has been 6 minutes. Little old man sitting across from me must have noticed my sour face, because he said, "well at least we know the day can only improve from here!" Let's hope so

Getting ready to head to my MILs for the next couple days. These trips are always either disasters or delights. I'm leaning towards disaster because of the bad experience we had the last time. They just got a new house and her husband treats everything like a museum. Ummm with small grandkids running around that's not possible. Mil gets it but he gets grumpy and mean with the kids. Like seriously last time he told them to go out in the back yard but don't go near the fence because he doesn't want it getting dirty?! WTH?! Hoping it won't be too bad
I'm feeling highly unmotivated at work today already, so I just have to keep on keepin' on.
DH and I had our multiples class last night. It was a lot of really good info!! The panel of moms they had give some advice was great: 3 twin moms and a quad mom! Craziness. That's what we're in for. The NICU tour was a little hard on me. Mostly because we saw a baby born at 25w, now almost 2 weeks old. Seeing an outside baby the size of our babies was really emotional for me. Surprisingly, it had the opposite effect on DH. He was encouraged by how "big" ours are and how healthy they'll be as long as they keep on cooking. It's all about perspective!
Glad the class was good pbandj714! I would also get emotional being in a NICU, but I'm glad your DH had a good perspective. FX those babies keep cooking!
Andrea how did everything go yesterday? I've been thinking about you!
Dd1 (3) just walked into the baby's nursery and "momma, it's so beautiful!" Then she opened up one of the dresser drawers and said, in the sweetest little voice, "look at all these sweet clothes for my baaaaaby!"
Sometimes I think she's more excited than I am. Ha.
Off to work although I suspect the office will be mostly empty. DS is spending the day with my parents as his preschool is closed today. DH and I had plans to go out to dinner but sitting in a restaurant at the end of the day does not sound very appealing these days so we might just get take out and watch a movie at home. Pregnancy 'sleep' is kicking my ass this week.
I forgot about pregnancy baby hiccups, they've arrived.

Guys, I hate that my OB just has a "we'll call only with abnormal results" policy. So I've been sitting on the edge of my seat all day yesterday and today worrying about my phone ringing. Technically, because I work in the same hospital as my OB office, I could actually login and see the results myself. It's been 48 hours so I'm sure they're back. I don't even think this is against policy, but it feels really wrong and I can't bring myself to do it... I dislike being on the patient side of this doctor-patient relationship. I feel so much lack of control.

I'm going to encourage you, devil on the shoulder style, to do it, do it! Log on for the peace of mind when the phone rings.

I worked at the same hospital where I delivered DS and had all my OB appointments. I was so tempted to look, but never did. It was definitely against my hospital's policy though, and I was a scaredy cat!

frecklesnbrains, ugh! That temptation would kill me! Even though I live in the "backwoods" area of the country, I'm happy out local health system has a new website/program where you can sign up and see all of your test results/appointment notes/medical records. It's so good for my anxiety!

I wound have thought the law entitled you to look at your own chart. You're certainly entitled to be given it. Why don't you just call, frecklesnbrains? Then you can know without looking.

It's definitely against policy to look at a chart for a patient you're not directly caring for, but nowhere do I see it explicitly said that it's against policy to look at your own chart. It's MY health information so I assume I have the right to access it. But it's enough of a gray zone that I'm scared to do it. They do log the access for the charts of all employees, so technically I could get in trouble if there is a policy that I'm just not aware of.

Thanks everyone. I called, now just waiting for the nurse to call back. Of course she's probably on lunch break. I wish I didn't always have to get so stressed out about these things!
I had horrible dreams last night. I woke up for several hours and couldn't get back to sleep and finally did somewhere around when my alarm went off, slept through that, and I'm now going to be 2 hours late to work. Ugh. TGIF, too bad it's not Saturday though.

Well, I passed my glucose test with flying colors - 85! And my blood count/iron level is normal. I swear, they say that doctors are the worst patients and it's totally true! Thanks for your encouragement, everyone

Yay!! Happy for you!
In my experience, nurses are much worse patients than doctors though! (Sorry to any nurses (including my Mom)).
I started going through and pulling out a bunch of the girls old baby clothes to wash. I can't find some of my favorites, and some of them I am just so over so I just left them in the tote. I also pulled out all the old blankets, burp rags and wash cloths. So now I'm doing laundry. Just trying to get a jump on things. Only 10 weeks left!!
I also got six boxes of diapers yesterday at Target since they're having that baby sale. So I'm set for a few months.
shoogars I've been thinking about the diapers at Target and the baby sale. We have exclusively bought diapers at Costco, except I seem to remember that they don't have newborn sizes. Anyways, we pay $35 for a case of 180 of Huggies or Kirkland brand. How does this compare to pricing at Target? Has anyone tried the Up & Up brand?
