Hormones suck!!

Today was one of those days where you just should crawl back in bed and pull the covers over your head. It started out okay. We had our playgroup this morning and I enjoyed talking with all my gal pals, but in the afternoon it went downhill really fast. I had a dr. appt. at 1:15 so Kaleb came home to watch the kids. He has been going with me to all of them but I figured I could handle it by myself. I had my glucose screening today so I drank the sugar drink they give you an hour before they do the test. It really wasn't bad at all. So then I go into the exam room and my doctor comes in. This is only the second time I've seen her. The first dr. I had was a royal jerk (I have other words for him but I can't say them out loud). So then I switched to another dr. in the practice who also happened to be our bishop at the time. He moved a month ago and they hired on this woman dr. She came in today and had a little talk about "weight gain" during pregnancy. Which is the LAST thing ANY pregnant woman wants to discuss. She said my weight gain so far had been about right (If she had said something else I might have decked her!!). I think she was just cautioning me against turning into full-fledged Shamu, but still... So this discussion kind of put me in a bad mood,and the fact that I had only had an sausage mcmuffin and a couple of slices of apple to eat all day did not help. I also asked her if I could get an ultrasound just for my peace of mind, she said sure so I went to the ultrasound waiting area and waited and waited and waited some more. I think she was wanting me to just ask the technician to fit me in because she didn't write anything on my paper. I thought the technician was busy or something so I waited until 2:45 when the lab lady came and got me for my glucose test (she said she almost forgot about me. Gee, thanks!). The whole time I'm waiting there I'm just getting more and more emotional (I'm not really sure why?Hormones?) So by the time I get the glucose reading I'm trying not to cry and I decide to just leave. The moment I walk out the door I just start bawling and proceeded to do so for the next ten minutes, and on and off the rest of the afternoon. Next time Kaleb is going with me, because I obviously need someone to talk me down.
I think this pregnancy has definitely been the worst for hormones and roller coaster emotions. I'm honestly just ready to have this baby so I can see her safe in my arms and know that she's okay. Only nine and a half more weeks to go!! UGGHH!!! (Maybe they'll schedule my c-section a couple of weeks early!!)

Man, what a bummer of an afternoon. Just like Heather said, the kids can play over here anytime. BTW, did you have an chocolate after you got home? That tends to be my remedy:).

Oh man, that makes me nervous to go to that Doctor. The last thing I need to hear talk of is weight gain too...and I'm not prego. She better not...or I'll deck her for the both of us...ha ha! I understand about hormones being all out of whack. Hang in there...it will come to pass soon!
