U/S disappointment

We eagerly awaited March 25th to come. We were going to find out our baby’s gender. We had an appointment scheduled that day at 4:00 pm. But first, I had an OB check scheduled for 3:30. I was ready and waiting for Phillip to get off work and come home so we could leave for our appointment, and it was such a huge relief when he finally arrived! We arrived at our OB office 15 minutes early, signed in and waited for the nurse to call me back to get my vitals. It was 3:45 when she finally called me back. The nurse took my BP. weight and a urine sample. All was well. I gained 2 more pounds. My total weight gain so far is 10 pounds, which is really good. I really thought I would weigh heavier, but I am thankful that I’m not! I sure look like preggosaurus-rex!

We were then taken to a waiting area in the back to wait for an exam room, and we were told that the Dr. I was scheduled to see has been called out for an emergency surgery and that I was going to see another one of the doctors there. It was almost 4:00. I went to see the lady at the front desk to ask her if I needed to reschedule my OB check for another day since my u/s was supposed to start at any minute. She assured me that they would make sure that we got our u/s that day before they closed. So I went back to the waiting area, where they showed us to the exam room. We waited for the doctor to come, and waited, and waited. 4:30 came and went, still no sign of the doctor. 4:45 came and still no doctor. It was close to 5:00 when Phillip peeked out the door and flagged a nurse down and asked her if we could just go ahead and get the u/s done and then come back to see the doctor, that way we weren’t wasting our time just waiting. She said she would check for us. The office manager came and told us that the sonographer had left for the day, and that she was sorry but to stop by and see her on our way out to reschedule our u/s. I was so upset that I had to leave right away without seeing the doctor (thanks to pregnancy hormones!). On our way out, I stopped by to see the lady about rescheduling our appointment. She got us an appointment to come back Friday the 27th at 3:00 pm. We went home to get ready to go to Kaleb’s t-ball game. We had to let everyone know who were just as excited as us, what had happened. Everyone was so upset, but happy to hear that we got another appointment scheduled.
