Today was just a mess…
I left the house at 7:15 AM to try to make it downtown for our 8:45 AM appt for Hannah’s ultrasound and blood flow study. I was SO exhausted, as I don’t think I got more than 4 hours sleep that night before. We didn’t get checked in until 9 AM. However, we were waiting to be called, and Hannah was hungry because she hadn’t eaten since 6 AM. So, I started feeding her.
Finally got called in about 5 minutes after I started feeding her, and the ultrasound technician says that “she wasn’t supposed to eat for 4 hours before her appointment” and that I would have to either wait 4 hours or come back another time! EXCUSE ME! WTH? No one told us that she wasn’t supposed to eat 4 hours before, and believe me, I would have remembered that because she has always gone 2-3 hours between feedings and NEVER has made it to 4 hours!! I was friggin pissed off, believe me. But, what choice do I have? We decided to wait it out.
We still had about 90 minutes left until the 2nd-take of our appointment, and Hannah was absolutely miserable because she was so hungry. I have never heard her scream so much, and it seemed like nothing was consoling her. She isn’t much of a pacifier baby, but at least that helped for part of the time. It was heartbreaking seeing her like that.
FINALLY, we got in for our ultrasound appt, and Hannah was still miserable. The appointment took about 45 minutes, and I have no clue what the results are. I’m HOPING that we find out Tuesday morning at Dr. B’s office because the ultrasound tech didn’t even give me any hints, and I couldn’t even tell what I was looking at.
Tuesday, we have two doctor’s appointments — 8:45 AM with Dr. B for Hannah, and then I have my doctor at 11:30 AM to check my blood pressure (to see if it has gone down or if I am going to be put on more chronic medication).
I fell asleep at 8:30 PM tonight and woke up at 11:30 PM to take over the feedings from Daddy. I just couldn’t keep my eyes open tonight. And now, it is almost 2 AM and I’m awake. Tomorrow should be another fun one!
On a separate note, today was the first day of school for Mr. E (second grade) and Little Girl A (preK), and they both had fantastic days! Little Girl A even told me that she wanted me to pick her up at nighttime so she could stay longer 🙂
