A different Dr.

If our baby was born today, she would be considered full term, 38 weeks down, 2 more to go before her due date. Our regular doctor is on vacation this week so we saw another Dr. at the same practice. We weren't overly wowed by him. First we waited an hour, which when you wait that long with a toddler, near naptime is at least triple time. So after what seemed like 3 hours, we go through the routine. I can tell I'm spoiled with my lady OB/GYN. Her bathroom is big, smells nice and reminds you of a spa with special soaps and lotion. This other doctor's bathroom was like a used hospital, smelly, cold and impersonal. He was kind of that way too, real quiet and unenthusiastic. He did a wow at Ivan's birth size and confirmed that this one does not seem that big. Her heart beat was fast and he asked if she'd been moving much that morning (like a squirrel with pecans!) He said I was still dilated to the same amount as last week which is good and bad. Good because she has to wait a week and a day for mom to get here, a week and three days for dad. Bad because I was at a one for a week, a full day of labor, a wasted trip to the hospital including a torterous 1 hour walk and "relax" time at home when I was delivering Ivan. Don't want to get stuck at a 1 again! On the other hand, it went fast after that.
