Bits of Randomness

BGV 2.0 & Appointment Details: Had my 10th ultrasound of this pregnancy yesterday.  (Tried to count all the OB appointments and NSTs, too ... but couldn't come up with a definite number.)  First and foremost, BGV 2.0 is looking great.  She continues to move and bounce around and try to escape through my right side. I just love her so much already!  Measurement ultrasound is scheduled for next week; my specialist is giving her two weeks to grow in between.  Good fluid levels, good blood flow, good heart reactivity.  Does my heart good to hear it's all good :)  P.S.  We are finally making some progress on her name ... narrowed a list of 9 down to 4!

Had a new ultrasound tech for yesterday's appointment, and let's just say I was not impressed.  Granted she was new to the practice, but she claimed to have 20+ years experience as a sonographer.  And I guess I should give her a break because it was her first day of a new job, but really I was not amused by some of the mistakes she made - and I've had this done enough to know how it should/should not be done.  She jabbered through the entire scan , told a toilet miscarriage story, and made me feel like she wasn't really paying attention.  She was really rough in her attempt to "startle" BGV to catch her taking a breath - and laughed about it.  And - her biggest blooper - she didn't wait for a "chaperone" and instead left the door slightly open while conducting the vag part of the exam and commented that her training - all those years ago - didn't include how to insert a vag thingy.  Ugh!  Seriously?!

My NST (non-stress test) was also a "training" session for a nurse moving from ultrasound to the NST side of things.  So I got to play guinea pig.  Again, not amused.  I've been poked and prodded and monitors to the max.  I've spent hours every Monday since like 22 weeks putting BGV's care in the hands of this practice.  Guess I am just growing a little tired and weary after so many appointments.  Shouldn't complain - things are good and all of this is tolerable.

MommyBrain Moment: Went to the market after dinner one night last week.  It was dark.  It was rainy. But I just needed to get out of the house - by myself.  Did my shopping and headed for the parking lot ... where I spent minutes - several long minutes - looking for my car.  Panic was setting in, and I decided to push the alarm button on my remote thingy.  I've never done that before, but desperate times ... 

Reached into my pocket to grab the keys.  It was then that I realized I had been looking for the wrong car.  I was driving my husband's silver truck, not my white SUV.  Stood there in the middle of the lot laughing hysterically.  Gotta love some MommyBrain! 

Favorite NHV Quote:  "Whur's mice jack-o-lattern full uff canneeee?"  And she says this in her hilarious "low" voice like she's trying to intimidate me or something.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
