3 x 3

Yesterday, we had our third OB appointment, our 16 weeker.

Small aside: for my first delivery, we used Dr. Brown, with whom, I was in love! Even though we switched insurance after Amelie, we still used her for Alisa. THEN, we got the out-of-network bills and decided we couldn't do that again. So, the third time I got pregnant, we went with another friend's recommendation and met with Dr. Gibson. Fortunately, I loved her! Unfortunately, we lost that pregnancy. So when we got pregnant the fourth time (this time) I was happy to schedule with Dr. Gibson again. I called, but was told she was still on maternity leave. Boo! I scheduled with some one in her practice for the first two, figuring I could go back to her and then at least I'd know someone else in the practice who could possibly deliver. Well, I met twice with Dr. Luikenaar, and it was just fine. When I told Dr. L's nurse I wanted my 3rd appt. with Dr. G, I totally got the cold shoulder. They really made me feel bad about wanting to switch back! I was starting to think I was silly for doing so - I mean, I'd never delivered with her or anything.

So, anyway, we had our first appointment with Dr. Gibson yesterday, and it made me feel great about my decision. She's very friendly, compassionate, huggy and really makes an effort to remember you-or at the very least do a good chart review before she comes in.
So, everything went well with the check up. My measurements are still on track, heartbeat was consistent and strong, and we got lots more appointments set up. We should be finding out gender in 3 weeks, so stay tuned for that!
