I peed in a cup..I assume I am pregnant..it was never confirmed verbally..but I did receive a new mom-to-be goody bag..so we must be.
They lost my chart..yes..lost it..they said, "It must be misplaced..or in storage..we store old patient files." Blah, blah, blah. I just had a baby 2 years ago..I have been going to this Dr. for..hmmm..12 years? She delivered Izabelle and Mattie and I see her annually. So guess what? We had to go build another chart..illness in family..heart issues, kidney, etc. Then the question that made me instantly sad..almost cry.."Have you even been in an abusive relationship?" "Well are you safe now?" Yes! I am. Then onto the subject..since you are "over 35"..as compared to older that dirt..there are some tests that we recommend..you know the ones..decline, decline, decline..I respond...calming my husband at the same time..telling him it is in God's hands now. Good grief..I am already an emotional mess..nurse practitioner. So let's bring on the exam..pap smear..yep..HATE them..I would much rather have a root canal..yes..I have had a root canal..so yes..I can compare them. The NP says, "Oh..you are one of those women that are very sensitive." Yep..that would be me! So get it over already..quit the small talk! (I got stuck with NP Darlene..instead of my favorite NP Freida..she is heavy set, always smiling, gives hugs and rejoices with you when the news is confirmed.) Then onto the laboratory..4 tubes of blood to check my thyroid..a full panel screening..to check for anemia..I forget the rest..there were a lot..and let's not forget the flu shot. I had 2 nurses on me..same arm..one drawing and one sticking..is that legal? They must of been running behind..and trying to save time? Maybe. All I remember is that I was starring into the hallway and trying my best not to barf!
I am approximately 7 weeks..I have been given a due date of June 8 , 2009 (but will schedule a c-section around 38 weeks..this will assure that my Dr. will deliver baby #4..not even going to attempt to push a LaFaye head through there again*wink*) I get to see my Dr. in 4 weeks..we will get to find out the sex of our baby at 20 weeks. Lot's of excitement around here right now..yesterday was totally worth it..just glad it is Friday:)
Names..we have baby names picked out..if it is a boy..Jon Paul McCabe LaFaye..McCabe is Rich's (deceased) mother's maiden name. I love the name. If it is a girl..McKenna Siddalee LaFaye..McKenna from McCabe..Siddalee..yep you guessed it..from my favorite movie in the universe..The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Maybe that is why I taught Mattie to call my MIL Ya-Ya..maybe..actually I think Mattie said it first..then of course I jumped on the idea. Ya-Ya! Everyone should have a Ya-Ya:) Sorry..rambling here.
Thank you for all of your sweet comments in the last post. I know I have neglected blogging..but I haven't felt real good..mainly just extremely sleepy. As my step-brother says, "That little creature is sucking the life out of you." Until next time.

For some reason pic is not coming
thru on my computer??
You're going to be just dandy once you get a little further along in your pregnancy. I have a 40 year old girlfriend who is becoming a "first time" mother in January. Thought she couldn't get pregnant...well Surprise, Surprise. They're absolutely thrilled.
Get some rest...naps are always in order!
Hugs, Andi
Sorry you had to go through all that to get confirmation, but CONGRATULATIONS and it will all be worth it in the end.
HAPPY ,HAPPY Birthday Dear
Richard! We hope you have a very
Special Day and lot's of fun
and cake!!!!
P.S. Tell Jilly -Lauren and
Xander arrived safely here in
Va. and we are having a great time!
so tell me, why did you decline all the testing?
Oh and Teresa must like you much more than me cause she ALWAYS leaves you comments and NEVER leaves me any....huh
I declined all tests..testing for defects..I don't want to know..if the Dr. tests and finds something abnormal and gives you the warning..you worry..and most of the time the Dr. is wrong (the ultra-sound Dr. told me their was a chance that Mattie had downs because of a white spot on her heart found during an ultra-sound and he was angry with me for not testing)..I don't believe in abortion..I will take what God gives me..it is in His hands now..that is why I declined that kind of testing.
congrats to you!!! :)
wow, what a day! I laughed when I read they must have lost all the old charts...
You're an old chart, I thought it was old fart!
Congrats!
I declined the testing too I was given a miracle to nurture and I was going to do that no matter what!!Great for you!!
Congrats Jill!!!! :o)
Something seems to be in the water in these parts!
I declined the tests too, too much stress and for what really?
This is so exciting and I like your names. I really like McCabe!
