My dear, sweet,...pain in the butt

I know it is unclear as to who I am talking about from the title of this blog. In this case, I am talking about my dear, sweet, unborn child, Thane. So, this whole uncharted territory is turning out to be territory that is left off the map for a reason. My butt is killing me!! Then there is this silly nerve problem when I lay on my right side. Goodness gracious. All that said though- I'm smiling as I am able to sit here and complain about it. What fun to be a miserable pregnant woman. :)

I had a doctor's appointment today. Everything went well. Still no blood pressure problems. I haven't dilated any more than I was on Tuesday and he actually said things feel "firmer". *Blush* Why thank you doctor.

This leads me to my next discussion point. So, all of this running to the doctor, being checked, sent home, running back, la di dah, is a bit ridiculous. Especially being that I have contractions every 3-10 minutes on any given day. So, my thought is, "gee, I have a doctor right here at home, why doesn't he just check things out for me real quick so I don't have to do the full work up at the hospital". Sounds reasonable right? I mean it's not like he didn't JUST HAVE an OB rotation and "check" hundreds of cervixes out of wedlock. So why not within the safety of wedlock? Yes, my dear, sweet, pain in the butt... wait...that was about Thane....my dear, sweet, stubborn husband is completely unwilling. He says something about not checking me because he won't mix work and home and doesn't want to look at me as a patient. Now, before you make your judgement...it's not like I'm the only one thinking this way. My nurse from the other night is dating an anesthesiologist and she said that when she is pregnant she will MAKE him check her even if she has to lock him in a room. AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST! Come on now. It's time for the perks of sleeping with an M.D. Naturally I am making a poll for this subject. My dear friends Ben and Kate had a poll for a chandelier for goodness sake- I can have one for my cervix.
