Day 104...pff! Doctors

May 3

My doctor's appointment was at 9:10 this morning, so I went into work late. I told Janelle I'd have Martyn to her house at 8:30, so Martyn and I got to sleep in a little....which was nice considering he woke up at 4, and was completely inconsolable for 20 minutes, and I had to physically get up and nurse him sitting up...silly baby.

I didn't realized either, how close the doctor's office was to Janelle's house, until I was bringing Martyn in and realized I would have like 20 minutes. So I came in and nursed him for a little bit, and chatted with Janelle, which was nice. I like her.

Her place is literally 2 minutes away from the doctors, so I let and got the place just in time. They are highly efficient at getting patients through the system, and highly un-personal. I hate that! The PA came in and talked to me a bit, and took my blood pressure three different times....they thought I was dehydrated until my blood pressure was spot on perfect (like it always is, that's definitely a test I've never failed) and I told them I was pretty sure that was not causing the dizziness....I drink a lot of water....though I could always drink more.

There was some question in my mind, about whether or not I may be pregnant again, so I took a pregnancy test just in case, and they took some blood from to run a few tests. My physical exam however, showed me to have perfect health.

For the most part, I'd agree with that. I'm in good health post-pregnancy...and was before, and during my pregnancy. Everything is fine, except I've been feeling dizzy and light headed for the past week and it's really bugging me. Haven't been nauseated, haven't had head aches...they checked my ears and said they both look really good so no ear infection. The only thing I can think of is that my sleep pattern has changed pretty dramatically since I went back to work. But I've never felt like this from being sleep deprived before. I do sleep pretty well over all too.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the blood work gives any clues.

It's always reassuring for me, when I pick up Martyn in the afternoons, that he's happy. Today when I came to get him, I came inside and Janelle was sitting on the floor with Martyn, and her little girl, and Martyn was just talking away to her. It was cute! She said he had just whacked himself with the rattle pretty hard, and made himself cry for a few minutes, and had just calmed back down. It doesn't appear to have left a bruise though so that's good.

So I was right about his crankiness lately too...he has a little tooth bud just barely poking out on the top...no wonder he has been kind of fussy, he's getting some toofs! Sweet boy, he's just growing so fast!
