My Lady of the Lantern

My next appointment is at 9 weeks....sometime around July 12th. I would like to really see Baby Kaiser, but more importantly again review how much I despise Dr. M. If she is still on her cynic track, I will have to look for alternatives. I like Dr. BS, and I appreciated that she saw no traces of my skirmish with Dr. M when she was communicating with me, and during the ultrasound. That is very professional, I think. TMI Alert: One thing I don't want Kaiser to inherit from me is my intestines....I am constipated. And I can't do one thing about it...I am trying to keep up my water intake and all, but still. I tend to be very sleepy in the mornings...I finish my milk and go back to bed (Yes, I do), and if I am not able to catch those 180 winks, I walk around with a massive hangover, and sleep on my way to work, at work and whatnot. It is okay for now...I can cope because I do not have any early-morning classes yet...they will come up in July...will have to watch out for that. But I...

Kaiser! Yeps, finally did get to see my doc last night. Baby was measuring 6 weeks,1 day...and I am just too glad about it. So here's the rehashing...my life would change every Tuesday Sunday, as I make it from week to week into this pregnancy. Birdman was there. We got a pic of the ultrasound and he asked me about the contents of the picture....he was walked through the uterus, the sac and precious being developing inside. So we have this one perfect baby going super strong...and I pray to meet the little one in February 2011, safe and healthy in my arms. That would be so good really. ---- Rant ahead... Yeah, I told you about Dr. M right? The assistant to Dr. BS? Well everybody has to go through Dr. M, and then only Dr. BS would see the patient. Last night I was very hopeful of getting that ultrasound from Dr. BS, and was not very happy when I was made to sit in front of Dr. M. Two things really snap-cracked me : a) She told me, 'Let's see you .' I froze, because if I...

I would like to really really really thank everyone who has commented on the past few posts of mine...especially beginning from the June 8th post. For those of you whose e-mail address comes associated with the comment to me, I did hit 'Reply'. However, there are quite a few of you (and several new bloggers for me), who don't have an associated mail id, and so I could not get back to you. But I hugely appreciate your cheering for me. I would also like to acknowledge that some of you who commented have had it very very rough yourself very recently, and yet you came out to chirp with me. I am humbled by that. -- Dr. BS has an assistant called Dr. M. This past week, every time I phoned up to possibly be able to meet Dr. BS, the receptionist would told me that I could just as well book myself for an appointment with Dr. M. The thing is I did not particularly like Dr. M. Anyways, after I was ladled with another 'She won't be available today' , I decided to call Dr. B...

...to tell you that I could not get the ultrasound yesterday. And I won't be getting it today either. Dr. BS is not well, and she won't come in... The receptionist at the hospital told me to call up tomorrow and enquire again. I don't want to go to the other doctor available. Waiting is one tough business. ^WiseGuy^

Today I am on the threshold of a new week....and I just look at how close I am getting to those highlighted milestones ( have marked dates on a calendar )...12 weeks is far off, 28 weeks is even more away...and yet every passing date is such a blessing. My symptoms are fluid. My nausea has ceased. Thankfully my boobs and pee-circus still remind me hugely about my present condition.... I also tend to have this dull bitter taste in my mouth, and I appreciate it whole-heartedly. I have my appointment scheduled tonight...and I am pretty excited about the prospect of seeing the gestational sac....I hope and pray that I do see it... I am taking every step with a lot of caution, and I have still not allowed myself unbridled joy over this. I want to be reassured. To this and beyond!! ^WiseGuy^

CONFIRMED!!! 1306 at 17dpo!!!! Woot Woot! Will go with a more composed heart for Tuesday's appointment.... Please keep praying for me/ keeping me in your thoughts. I can't quite believe it... ^WiseGuy^

I was stretched on the bed, and Birdman was moving around the house, doing his usual morning stuff. He came back to ask me: "Hmmm...would the baby be like you or like me?" I did not need to really respond coz he answered himself - 'Surely like me!!! '. Please remember that I am not even 5 weeks yet... ^WiseGuy^
