Relief, relief, relief!

I went in this morning for my u/sound an ob appointment with the new provider....and....he is quite frankly...awesome! Seriously, I was so impressed by him and so relieved that all of my concerns really just melted away. I would even consider having him be my primary gyn after this is all over. He is also going to cover me for the rest of the pregnancy so that I don't have to see other providers. I feel comfortable now that there will be some continuity in my care.

I only see Jodi for pregnancy stuff and otherwise don't go in for gyn care. I have no problem seeing Jodi for the pregnancy, but I prefer less of a personal friendship kind of thing when going in for routine care. So...this self-proclaimed "never see a male ob/gyn" gal just may have broken her own rule. This guy was awesome!

The u/sound was good...but now my blood pressure is elevated so he did some blood tests for pre-eclampsia and I have to do a 24 hour urine collection thing. They give you a 1/2 gallon-sized container for a 24 hour collection......obviously, they don't know I visit the restroom every 45 minutes! So...I asked for a second bottle, but was told to use a mason jar if I fill this one up....with one warning...to "wash it out before I use it". Apparently, they had a patient who used pickle jars that still smelled of pickle and she had to re-do the entire test. This should be interesting!

In any case...Level II u/sound tomorrow and blood tests/urine test will decide if we have baby before or after this next round of chemo which is supposed to be on Monday.

Hopefully, we'll be able to hold off until this round is over!

man...I'm so relieved!
