Talk about DISAPPOINTING . . .

Tuesday was scheduled to be my 2nd Doctors visit and we were going to get to hear the heartbeat. I am not a big worrier, but at times I can think about worrisome things and I was ready to hear that heartbeat. On the way there I was thinking, well I will get to hear that heartbeat real soon. We were even on time and early to the appointment and was able to grab a quick bite to eat on the way. We arrived just before my appointment time of 2:00.

Or, so I thought!!!

Somehow, I had remembered the appointment time wrong and did not recheck the appointment card and it was actually at 1:00. A whole hour late. Well, it ends up it's a very un-accommodating doctor's office and I HAD to reschedule.

I DID NOT GET TO HEAR MY PRECIOUS BABY'S HEARTBEAT!

Wow, I was crushed needless to say and left there a devastated person. I am not a crier, but this was a great exception. I cried and cried because not only did I not get to hear the heartbeat, they could not get me in for another appointment until next week on the 18th - grrrrr!!!!!!! I told them that my husband had to take special time off work to come and that it was an honest mistake, but that didn't matter. On top of all that, they said they were running 1 to 1 1/2 hours behind and would not be able to fit me in at all. Uhh, is it my imagination or wouldn't I have just been sitting in the waiting room anyways for the previous hour. I think it was their good excuse to get me out of there since they were running behind.

Needless to say I did NOT have a good day at all! Poor me, I had quite the pity party for myself. My first thought after realizing I wasn't going to get to hear the heartbeat, was to call my sister-in-law and see if she was at work because she works in L&D at a hospital downtown and see, if they could check for the heartbeat - Guess what?? She's on vacation all week! UUGGHH!! I guess it will be the 18th!

HOW DISAPPOINTING!!

(side note - This is not my regular doctor's office, but due to some insurance issues, I won't be able to go to my regular doctor until mid January. I sure will be glad when I don't have to deal with those crabby people anymore.)
