Baby update

I had another doctors appointment today. I am so glad I didn't have to serve on the jury case (see previous blog) because I didn't want to cancel my appointment and reschedule, that would push back my other two appointments. The appointment Nurse Nazi would just tell me again "OH you can't do that it's just way too important." Well tell the City of Rochester to back off then! Nurse Nazi was not happy when I told her last week that I refuse to schedule a doctor's appointment on Brecklen's birthday.

Nurse Nazi: Well, there's nothing your doctor has available the rest of the week.
Me: Can't you schedule it next Monday with her ?(it would be like 9 days in between appointments)
Nurse Nazi: Oh No! (acting like I had just sentenced my unborn child to immediate death) You can't do that! That's WAY too long between appointments!
Me: Well, then just make the appointment with someone else then?
Nurse Nazi makes a random appointment and I just call in and rescheduled it when I wanted it, so everything just worked out.


Nurse Nazi I'm so sorry I couldn't put my entire life on hold. Between Jury duty these two weeks and weekly doctor's appointments I have pretty much cleared my schedule. Breck had swim lessons that I didn't want to miss (because I had already cancelled due to Jury duty service), and a birthday, how dare he! Thanks for making me feel like a crappy mom.

It really makes my pregnancy fly when I have to go in every week. Before I know it the baby will be here in like... 5 appointments. It's official. I am scheduled to be induced on September 12th. As long as everything continues to look good, i.e. baby is continuing to gain weight, and has enough amniotic fluid and so on. It's nice to know when she's coming. Now I can finally tell my mother-in-law and mother when to take off work. It's still weird to think she will be here before I know it. I have had 8 months so far to prepare, but I don't feel ready yet. I think I will probably be starting my weird "nesting" soon now that I have a deadline, or just the reality of knowing that she is actually coming. I am starting to get a little excited to meet her. She's a funny girl. She is so shy on the ultrasounds. She likes to hide her face, probably due to the fact that these annoying ultrasound techs dig into my belly so hard she's trying to ward them off. It will be interesting to see if she always has her hands over her face when she's born. I remember when we had ultrasounds with Hannah and one of the tech's made a comment that it would be interesting to know if she still sleeps with her hands tucked under her face when she's born. Yup, she does. Hannah has always liked to sleep on her side with her hands tucked under she head.

It's amazing how sweet and innocent they look while they sleep. No screaming or saying "I don't like you" as she does on a daily basis. Yeah, I can see that our power struggle has just begun. Hannah has already started to run to her room and slam the door. Very hilarious from a barely two year old. Brecklen has never told me he doesn't like me or slam his door. Ever. Wow, I think girls just know these things. It's born into them, or atleast Hannah, to be a Diva from birth. This is why we asked the tech if it was definitely a girl when we found out the sex. Love Hannah to death, but the thought of two of her is possibly overwhelming. Two strong personalities clashing together growing up. I see lots of fights in the future. But then I also see two sweet girls growing up being best friends and sharing (hopefully) everything. Hannah can be so sweet and loving with Brecklen and I know they will both be wonderful big siblings.
