Happy Halloween!!!!

Well is Sunday and it is Halloween!!!

We did the normal, picked up Stephanie and Mindy for church, did Sunday School and worship.

Then came UMYF Halloween Party. Each year our UMYF throw the children's Halloween Party and this year was no exeption. We had approximatly 25 children there!! The youth did a great job. The only issue we had was because it was on Halloween a lot of youth split when it was over and thus clean up was a pain. NOTE TO SELF: Next time the party is on Halloween it will end earlier so we don't have this issue!!

This year Catherine was an orange, it was a costume of mine from High School, my dad made a frame for it so it would stay poofed out for her. I made Anna a Banana this year. Needless to say Anna did not like her costume, she screemed everytime she was in it. It rained while they went trick-or-treating, so they only went to like 4 hours, but they got a ton of candy.

28 week check-up

Well let's just say I left my Dr. visit feeling like I accomplished nothing. I had my visit with Dr. Fitch (big mistake - this is the same Dr. who when he could not find the baby's heart beat via Doppler at 12 weeks, thought nothing about it - I made him do an u/s then). Well I was not thinking when I made this appointment and that is who I made it with.

So I got there at 9:30 am because I was doing my glucose test while I was there. First I check in and they try to tell me I owe $60 in back visits. I told them I talked to the billing company and that they have the $20 copy for those 3 visits but that they did not apply them yet...and so the lady in charge of billing in the office, looked it up. Finally said she would get back to me before I left.

So I walked back to the lab and got my glucose drink. I HATE THAT STUFF...I guess it is worse since I don't drink regular pop at all, and only drink 1 diet pop a week. But I got it down. While waiting for my 10 am appointment I pulled out my check book and found the check #'s for the those three visits so I was ready to go if I had to fight them on it.

THe nurse came, my favorite nurse, she in normally Dr. Spell's nurse (My favorite Dr.). So first she weighed me. I gained 1 pound. So now I am down only by 5 pounds total. I was hoping to stay the same or be down another pound..but oh well. The nurse then had me pee in the cup..and my urine came back just fine...no traces of anything. Then we took my blood pressure...it was 110/68 (right on track for me). Then she asked me how things where going, I told her about the diarrhea I have been having, she asked what vitamin I was on...because some of them have a stool softener, but mine does not...plus if that was the case it should have started from the beginning not just with in the past 2 weeks.

So then I waited for the Dr. He came in...then it hit me I was with the jerk. He asked me if I was doing my glucose test, I said YEP. Then he said ok let's check the babies heart beat. He used the Doppler, to be honest I think he found my heartbeat not the babies..but he said it was the babies. Then he had me sit up. I had to ask him if he got a heart beat rate...he said "ahh it is about 150"....to which I thought...about what the hell does that mean.

He asked me if everything was ok...I told him about the diarrhea issues. He asked me if I had been out of town, NOPE. Asked me if I was drinking tons of milk, Nope one maybe 2 glasses a day. He told me no milk or cheese for 2 days to see if that helps (hello I have been drinking milk the whole time..why would it do something now). Then he asked me who my primary Dr. was. I told him well it use to be Cicero (who has since lost his medical license for selling drug samples)...and since he stopped practicing I have gone to the Northland Group, where Cicero was, but I don't care for them so i guess I don't have one. His response was....well having diarrhea like you are is not normal...you need to see a Dr. HELLO WHAT THE HELL IS HE??? MOST DR'S WON'T TOUCH A PREGGY WOMEN WITH A 10 FOOT POLL IF THEY CAN HELP IT!!!

So with that I gave up. He said any other questions, I was like "no" and I left. As I went to check out the receptionist said they took care of the billing problems..and i own nothing..it was all a mistake. Next visit is in 4 weeks...my 32 week check up. Which surprised me..I thought I would go back in 2 weeks...guess not. Not sure how they will handle the c-section stuff..because they said I had to set they date at 30 weeks..but I won't see them till 32 weeks. Oh well at this point I don't give a rats butt.

So after my blood was drawn I left. That a waste of a morning.

Dr. Visit!!!!!

OK I went to the Dr. today. New Dr. in my OB/GYN clinic. Her name is Dr. Spell. Turns out in talking she was studing to be an RE when she decided to be an OB/GYN so she could deliver babies.

She stat and we talked for 2 hours!!

She went over all the results of all the test that the other Dr. had done and looked at all my temp charts. She said basicly only one cycle of all my charts did I even really show good ovulations. And of course this cycle and last I have never ovulated. She said that she read about my u/s and it bothered her that nothing more was done. She showed me the report which states: "Tiny follicles cysts in both ovearies but normal size ovaries" She said that alone the other Dr. should have started me on meds for PCOS...or sent me to teh RE. She was mad that he did nothing except offer me clomid. She asked what BCP I was on before TTC, I told her "Ortho Tri-Cycline" she told me how she hates those pills and has seen tons of trouble with ladies comeing off of them.

She then told me I have two choices. She can put me Glucophase and monitor me for a month or two then send me to RE if no results...or send me to an RE now. I told her how I would like to wait for the RE till January becuase of insureance and deductables. She told me all of the sideffects of glucophase and what to do if I have any problems.

She then did a pelvic exam to check my ovaries and said that my right ovary is starting to get enlarged. She said one or two more cycles like I ahve been having and it would really be bad.

She sent me to get lab work before I start Glucophase (i have the script, she will call me and tell me to fill it or not after the lab work is in).

I go back in 6 weeks to see her, with temp charts to see if the glucophase is helping. Also I go back to the lab after 4 weeks of glucophase to draw for blood work to make sure all is good.

She gave me a box of Prometrium to take to kick start me. ANd I take it, again, for 10 days then I should have my period.So that is teh scoop on the poop.

I offically have PCOS, mild but there.Editied to say: I forgot I have lost 10 pounds since my last Dr. visit...so I now way less then I did when I was PG with Catherine!!!

Happy Friday

Well today has been great!!! and the cramps have chilled!!

I helped my mom cut the grass at what will be our new house. Then my mom and I went out to lunch. Then to Hobby Lobby, because my mom wanted some fabric. Then to the cemitary to put new flowers out for my Grandma and Grandpa.

Then I went to church to print bulletins.

Then came home fixed dinner. Then I worked on Emoticons! We have over 180 now!! And I keep getting more and making more! I sure hope you ladies love them as much as I do.

I am tempped to test tomarrow if my temp is back up. So we will see. My nipples hurt soooo bad!! I mean they freaken hurt!!!!

Happy Wednesday

Well Wednesday has been a good day!! I did some cleaning around the house, I seem to never be able to keep up with the cleaning. I am on CD 58, today I have some mild pressure it hurts if you push on my gutt. I spotted a little bit today but not to bad. only twice on the TP.

Stephen Ministry was good tonight..it was about using the Scriptures to help people. We also talked about praying for people and with people. How to find out what their prayer needs are and then praying with them. Over all it was good.

The Weekend that was.

Well Let's see I did not write all weekend. Bad me! Let's seee what all has happend:Saturday, worked around the house and make the new image for Christian Women.Sunday.Got up and got ready for churchWent and picked up one of the youth for Sunday School.Taught Sunday SchoolWent to Worship ServiceWent to Breakfast with my family and friends.

Went to the plant and changed clothes. Took Catherine to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out her pumpkins.We has such a great time. Catherine was soo funny. We ended up buy 5 pumpkins, and I even got some Christmas Shopping done!! My parents took Catherine to there home after Pumpkin Patching it.

We went and picked up two youth for Youth Group. THere where 12 youth at Youth Group!! I was sooo happy. The topic was Abuse. It was very eye opening to alot of them.

After Youth Group we attended the Leadership Team meeting at church. The Team wants to come up with a purpose of the church..a mission statement. Then we too the two youth home. I learned stuff I never wanted to know about these girls. We knew there parents where having troubles. They have told us they fear their parents will be devorsing. So I knew that. What I did not know was that their dad has hit them before and that both their parents do drugs. This was something I really REALLY did not want to know. As I told Tony while we ate some dinner I just want to pull these girls out of their house and take them home with me. I can not believe they have to go through this crud. It is funny because all summer Youth just went along like nothing special. Now that the school is back into full gear, we find ourselfs doing more Ministry with these teens.
