Bad Timing

So I went to my Doctor's office yesterday for the Diabetes screen. For those of you who have not done it- you have to drink 50 grams of Dextrose- serious sugar. Then you have to have your blood drawn 1 hour later to see if your body is handling sugar and producing enough insulin. A lot of pregnant women develop Gestational Diabetes.

While there, I was informed that my doctor is closing his practice, and moving to Houston to teach. Effective Dec 1. Ahhhh, what does that mean? Well, it means I now have to find a new doctor ( at 27 weeks pregnant), who will deliver at Seton Southwest, and accept me as a new patient this far along. I was given a list of the people he shares on call with and told they were aware of the situation and should be willing to take us on this late. I am really frustrated, and a little mad. I thought I had things figured out, I liked my doctor, I liked knowing him and him knowing me well. A little more notice would have been nice, as I am sure this has been in the works a while.



Anyway. Deep breath. Positive thoughts- maybe I will get another ultrasound out of the deal.



I went to work this morning and saw lots and lots of cats. Both Dr Laukkanen and I saw mostly cats, we each saw only 2 dogs. Strange, but at least they were all really nice cats!



Dan and I watched the UT football game this afternoon- pretty frustrating, but with a happy ending. Even though UT didn't look all that great for most of the game.

I thought I would show a picture of Dan's last weekend project- moving 8 tons of rocks to the backyard. He and his Dad did it in 4-5 hours of hard work. I was really impressed ( it was done by the time I got home from work last Saturday). Now there isn't nearly as much mud for Remi to bring inside. The back yard is starting to look good.
