You ever think that maybe you should put a little more effort or thought into your marriage? Ms. Fussypants has started a new marriage website with the subtitle of “The gentle art of ruling one’s husband”. It is full of great suggestions to improve your marriage. Go check it out.

Thanks to everyone for the opinions on my doctor rant the other day. For those who suggested it, she is a high risk OB and a perinatologist. But that doesn’t stop her from being a pain in my ass. I’ve decided to have a frank discussion with her at my next appointment. I will be letting her know that our weekly appointments will not continue. Bi-weekly maybe but weekly is ridiculous. And if she insists on the cerclage, I will let her know that I am seeking a second opinion. I don’t feel competent to say “No, you aren’t doing it” but am uncomfortable enough with this that I will speak with another doctor before I agree to something like that. Depending on her reaction to that and how I feel about whoever I see for a second opinion, I might end up dumping her altogether. But I feel a misguided loyalty to her as though she is the only reason this pregnancy made it this far.

My BFF is driving down from Ohio tomorrow to hang out for the weekend. This might be the first time in a couple of decades that alcohol isn’t involved in one of our girlfests. (I’m knocked up and she is a on a medication that doesn’t allow her to drink.) I guess we will have to shop and eat to make up for it.

Plans for Guatoberfest 2008 are underway. Go to the website to vote for the location for this year’s gathering. Guatoberfest is for all families brought together through adoption, not just those who have adopted from Guatemala. But the name is so catchy, why change it?
dang they ORGANIZED getting this stuff together already for guatoberfest.
who do I love the phrase KNOCKED UP?

Eating for two is *almost* as fun as drinking. Ok, not really, but that’s what I told myself. LOL
If your dr is legit she should have no problem with you getting a second opinion. And your body is the one that carried the pregnancy thus far. She is just monitoring. It’s important to find an OB that you trust and actually like. 🙂
Yes, that site is looking like it’ll be a lot of fun! And, that picture of your daughter and your dog is adorable! I wish my puppy would lie still long enough for a photo like that! *sigh*
Have a great time with your BFF!!! I will be your way on Monday for a DR checkup and I hope to eat at the Cheesecake Factory!!! YUMMY!!!
I just sent you a dr. rec from my cuz.
Unless she’s got the cervix measurements to prove it, the whole weekly appts and cerclage thing sounds crrrrrazy to me.
thanks for Gfest shout out
Hope you don’t eat enough sugar and junk to get a “drunk from food” driving ticket;) May be you can actually find some funky maternity clothes too:)
have a blast with your bud – THAT is just what this dr. ordered;)
Hope you guys have a great time together.
I’m ALL for the second opinion, if not totally switching doctor all together!
Enjoy your girl time…do me a favor and eat some chocolate for me! I’m really craving it this week. So I think EVERYONE needs to eat a little, okay a bunch, for me so that I’m not the only one going up on the scales! safe travels to your BFF!
Michelle,
How fun to catch up with you and how great to hear your news! We recently sold a house also, so I know what a strain that has been. And…how exciting to be expecting! Sorry to hear the doctor blues, but you will make the right decisions.
Sharon
hope you 2 are having FUN and lots of girltime.
(sorry steve :))
