Doctor's Visit

02.06.08

LA and I went to the OB/GYN doctor (from here on out, if you see the word doctor assume OB/GYN unless otherwise noted) and my opinion is that this pregnancy thing is a crock…you are left to trust a $25 dollar over-the-counter test. We went to the doctor today and walked into the back and just on LA’s word you would have thought she had won the lottery. Without any testing they are giving her a bag full of pregnancy and baby magazines and prenatal vitamins. We left the office without any medical evidence. She peed in a cup and we went for blood testing but there was no piece of paper that says “see this” or “because of this” ,you’re pregnant. All I got was the PA saying “Congratulations”. They then figured out a due date based on a maybe of when LA’s last cycle was because she couldn’t remember. The date from the magic wheel in the office is September 10, 2008 – our wedding anniversary. I am sure that will change. We did our own calculations and don’t think that is right. We the professionals (experts) figure she is about 6 weeks but the doctor’s office has her pegged at 8 weeks. So after one office visit, KC hasn’t seen results confirming the $25 test or LA’s constant “I’m tired”, “My boobs hurt”. I guess the proof will come on February 20, 2008 when we go for the ultrasound. Until then, I guess I will play along and believe…might as well be excited!!!
