BABY CAMOUFLAGE

Yesterday, we went for our first ultrasound.

This time around is a whole new experience, doctor-wise.

As many of you know, my previous doctor, sadly,

passed away from cancer back in the fall.

Also, after the experience we had at the hands of the covering doctor (for 2 out of 3 kids),

we decided not to go back to the hospital where there was even a chance

that we would get him.

Not to mention the fact that, these kiddies like to come QUICKLY..

and if the trend continues--

we wouldn't make it to the hospital on time by a good 30 minutes.

So anyway, we have a new doc..with midwives in the practice..

I met with one of the midwives today.

I wasn't overly impressed.

I hope first impressions aren't always the lasting ones.

One thing I really liked about my previous doctor, was that he (and the staff) always

welcomed the kids--talked to them and really seemed to not mind (I'd go almost as far as to say, enjoy)

having them there.

This practice does not seem the same.

Yes, they have some toys in the waiting room--

but you should have seen the looks we got at the first visit from the nurses and doctor

and today as well..

doesn't make one feel very "welcome."

You'd think, in the business that they're in--

they'd be pleased to see happy & healthy children.

Well, they'd better just get used to it I guess, cause the kids come with me.

Pretty much every time.

Okay, my rant is done.

So, we found out that all looks to be well with Baby Camouflage.

Why Baby Camouflage?

We asked the kids what they would like to name the baby..

(not that they get any real say in it..

nor will we be telling the names we have chosen to them for obvious reasons)

Michael said he would like to name the baby "Camouflage."

Works for now.

:)

Little "Cam" is expected sometime in November.

Even with an ultrasound date, I'm hesitant to give a number..

Near the mid-end of November.

They say every pregnancy is different.

That is for sure!

This one has been extra different so far.

All is well now, but we had a rough patch to begin with.

While I never actually threw up--

it probably would have felt better if I had.

I have a lot more sympathy now for those with "chronic/constant" morning sickness.

It lasted about a month.

Well, that is all the update for now.

Till next time.
