IT IS A GIRL!!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

WOW!! What a shocker!! I was totally expecting a boy. I am so excited that it is a girl!! But here is how my Saturday went:

First we get home at 530am ish from the Children's Hospital with Tornado. (another post to come for that one). Fall asleep and get woken up by my alarm WAY too soon. But first at 7am ish Tornado wakes up and says "Is it tomorrow?" I whisper "Yes, go back to sleep." He replies "Well lets go see the baby now!! I slept so I can go now." Me "Oh my...it is too early we still have time to sleep, SO please go back to sleep." That was the end of that conversation because I was NOT getting up yet. LOL Than my alarm is going off at 830am. I hit the snooze button and think to myself 'I am not ready to drink that water or to eat a dam thing!! I just wanna sleep.' This was the first time I wish I had booked the appointment for the afternoon. So I drag my butt outta bed and finish the water and food, at this point I am jealous that John can sleep until 930am, and off to the ultrasound we go.

We get to the ultrasound place and there is a sign on the door WASHROOMS CLOSED!! OMG are you freaking kidding me!! Nope they are not. I am pregnant and you have ordered me to drink this water and now you telling me I have no washroom to use. GREAT!

So off to the ultrasound room I go. This ultrasound takes FOREVER!! The tech. asks me if I want to know what the baby is. I say YES but I have to wait till my hubby and son are in here because if I don't they might kill me. LOL SO I have to wait the whole time of her doing her thing, which is FOREVER!! FINALLY it is time to go and get the boys!! :) BUT they are gone...Tornado had to go pee...GAH!!! LOL Finally they return!! Than my little girl decides she is not going to co-operate for us to see what she is...THANKFULLY the tech. got a good look during the examine!! I am overfilled with joy!!

Here is Tornado's reaction:
"But I wanted a baby brother" I say "Well honey remember we said it could be a sister?" He says "Ya" Than the tech. jumps in and says "You are going to be an AWESOME big brother to you baby sister!!" and than Tornado perks right up and says "YES I am!!" from than on he has been excited.

Here is Hubby's reaction:
PISSED RIGHT OFF!!! He didn't even want to talk to anyone...he would not talk to me...I spent many hours with tears in my eyes not being able to celebrate my excitement. It hurt very much that he was so angry at the fact we were having a girl. Our plan was to go shopping that day BUT he was not interested now. I didn't want to show him my excitement because he was so upset/angry that it was a girl. I had to tell everyone, he didn't want any part in that. It was a pretty rough day. But by the end of the day we were able to talk a bit. I understood his disappointment but at the same time I had to accept that Tornado was a boy and I NEVER once acted like that. (I really wanted a girl with Tornado LOL But now I would not trade him for the world) The funny thing is that he said it was a girl the whole time and still the shock hit him like a brick wall. (He also knew Tornado was boy from the start)

SO later on in the day Tornado and I went out shopping!! He needed pants and pj's SO I thought it would be GREAT to do both at once. Well we ended up spending more money on Tornado than baby. LOL It was hard to find the right size for baby girl. Tornado picked out 2 sleepers for her and a matching blanket!! It was really sweet of him. :) That was all we got this weekend. Good thing we have 20 more weeks to shop!!

So that is how the ultrasound day went.

11 Week Ultrasound of Baby!!

11weeks2days

Above is baby in 2d and below is baby in 4d!!

Is It Supposed To Be So Damn Stressful!!!

Ok so today, Monday July 26 2010, I receive a phone call from the ultrasound place. If you are suspecting twins you need to get a dating ultrasound because we need to know if we should book 30mins or 60mins for the Nuchal Translucency. Get off the phone and phone around to 5 other places to find out what is going on here. 3/5 of the places do the Nuchal Translucency and they all say the same thing. OK no prob I think! LMFAO Think again.

I phone my doctors and tell them what I have been told by the 3 places that actually do that test. She tells me she will call me back after she speaks with the doctor. So I wait and wait and wait...it feels like forever...but really just an hour. So she calls back and tells me the doctor said no. WTF!! I get very upset than very angry than very upset again and than I find myself saying sorry to her on the phone because it is not her fault and I hope she understands and than upset...and it goes on. LOL Damn pregnancy hormones have me all over the place this week!! SO she puts me on hold and than comes back and tells me my doctor will speak to me. SO I speak to my doctor, what an ass!! This is sorta how the conversation went:
Dr.Z "There is no need for you to have this ultrasound"
Me "Well the 3 places I phoned that do it ALL told me I need this done before the other one because we suspect twins"
Dr.Z "Well there is no need"
Me now on the verge of tears "OK so why than did you tell my son he was going to have two babies, thank you very much he told my hubby that and now he is stressed, I am showing already and if I'm not why the hell am I having to wear maternity clothes and why did the lady at Thyme Maternity think I was 4mths along!! And well doing research at home I have 5/8 signs of twins and the others you have to test for."
Dr. Z"You can't believe everything you read"
Me now crying and just in disbelief that this is so damn hard "Why is this so difficult?? OK fine what if I request one!! I mean they all told me I needed one and you are sitting here telling me no."
Dr. Z "Well I don't believe you so I am going to phone the ultrasound place and we will call you back"
Click and we all hang up.
I gather my strength and tell myself to stop crying. I should have the right to an ultrasound if I suspect twins. I have good reason to request one and even the damn doctor said maybe on Friday so WTF!! Now if only he would have listened for the heart beat than maybe he would of heard one or two but NO he wouldn't even do that. I researched many sites on heartbeats and every single one said 8weeks and up!! He called my friends liars he called me a liar but in the end I was right and so were my friends!!
Ok so now they have called me back "It turns out you were right about the ultrasound Pam. So we booked you an appointment for Thursday at 1045am."
Me "Ummm Thursday does not work for me"
Receptionist "Well I am sorry I tried really hard for a Friday but no go."
Me"Ok I guess I will just have to make this work"
So I get off the phone and call one of the moms and talk to her. Brainstorm and than a light bulb goes on in my head...Hey why don't I phone and check for a Friday appointment!!
So I phone the place and sure enough there are Friday appointments open. SHOCKED..nope not really!! And when I tell the lady my doctor said they tried really hard for Friday appointment she just laughed. Thanks for trying so hard for me...NOT!!
So in the end I was correct and all this stress for nothing!!
Now I get stress on finding a new doctor...John doesn't want me going back to Dr.Z and I really can't say I blame him. Anyone out there have any thoughts...good or bad doctor here. OR do you have a really good Doc you see that is accepting new patients?
