but then again, no

the wait continues. my ob gave the order for the ultrasound, and the directive to overbook me in, but the lab supervisor won't return my ob's secretary's calls to give her an appointment time. so here i sit, with a decidedly upset stomach (and all the unpleasantness that goes with it), which i attribute to nerves. not so very zen.

it's so difficult to have any confidence in pregnancy signs when i know from my experience with the tadpole that they can continue for weeks after the pregnancy stops progressing, but the funny thing is, i'm starting to really feel pregnant in the last 24 hours or so. my fun bags are decidedly more, well, fun, and my stomach is starting to feel pushed, if that makes any sense, from within. when i lay down or turn over or stretch, i feel awkward, as if all the regular muscles alongside and below my abdomen have come unhinged.

please let it remain a funny thing, and not get downgraded to an ironic thing. and let them call me back with the damn appointment time. some time in the next five minutes would be nice.

I find they call if I suddenly go out of range, such as into the shower, out to take the garbage or get gas, etc. Of course, if you've given them your cell phone number you'll just stare at the flickering bars...

I hope they call SOON. 'Your call is very important to us...'

Update:

They'd made an appointment, but had neglected to call Laura, and the docs office.

Tomorrow morning, 10ish - I'll most likely still be a bit doped up from my 800am dentist appoitment. Yeah.

You guys will be in my thoughts. Hope you get good news and maybe just a tiny bit of the worry will be eased.

*hugs*

Thinking of you both for this appointment. Is it 'the' clinic you will be going to?

Good grief! So if Laura missed the appointment because they never told her about it, would she have been charged?

Looking forward to good stuff tomorrow!

Ooh! I will be thinking about you guys. And z. I hope you see some fun stuff! You've had such a rough time that you deserve to see a little person with arms and legs and stuff, and not just a blueberry with a heart.
