STILL No News

**7 p.m. Update**
My labs are in, no one at the lab will give me any results (because I didn't sign the form when I was there saying they could release them to me over the phone). The doctor's office didn't call, so I called them and as it was five till 5:00 they lazily told me, "We don't have the results, probably won't be till first thing in the morning." That's when I called the lab and know they are indeed in. Grrrr.

I tried my luck with the on-call doc tonight but the answering service won't page them for me.

Dudes, if something is "up" I'm going to be pretty pissed they made me wait. I don't even know when/if I'll hear from them tomorrow. I'm kicking myself for not signing the form. I always sign the form but this time I didn't thinking I'd be getting the results at my appointment. Boo.

I'm tempted to call and see if any of my old pals is working tonight and will look them up in the computer for me but then I'm trying to just TRY to take a step back and hope that they whole "No news is good news" bit is true this time. Really I think that it's "No news because I'm too lazy to look".

Anyway...for those of you that care, wanted to get my non-update up here. Till some other time, I guess...
**********************************************************************


I had my 30 week OB appointment this morning but my lab results weren't in yet.

The good things from the appointment:
- my blood pressure was still good and normal for me at 98/50
- Wabie is still alive with a heart rate of "140s"
- when we heard the heartbeat on the doppler the NP/PA said to the boys, "What's that?" and Dalton whispered, "An elephant." :)
- the boys were very well behaved despite having to wait in the room for the practicioner for nearly half an hour

The not-as-good things:
- no lab results other than my CBC and I think my platelets were fine because she didn't mention anything, my anemia is worse but whatever...that doesn't mean much to them just yet
- my uterus is still measuring at "28" for two weeks now. It "should" be 30 since I'm 30 weeks. She said, "We need to get you a growth sonogram" but I have those anyway, thanks to my history...my next one is in two weeks and you can really only do them every 4 weeks to really see if there's a difference. There is a possibility that it's just that different people measured me this week compared to the last two weeks, but then again, other than with Easton when there was a growth restriction problem, I can't recall that I've ever been "off" before. I'll have to look back at the blog to see with D's pregnancy (edited to add: I did look back at Dalton's pregnancy...I was always right on or even big according to these posts)

The NP/PA I saw will be out of the office this afternoon so she said she'd have the nurses watch for my labs and then have the OB on call call me later today. So, that's the latest.

The boys and I picked up Jason for smoothies afterwards and Dalton told J that they "Wistened for baby". I thought it was sweet that he reported that part on his own. So he does get it more than I thought.

Anyway, I will update more when I know more, but just a warning, it will likely be in this same post but I'll let you know it's **Updated** or something. :) Till then...

That's a bummer, Kristin. I'm sorry you have to wait until tomorrow - I hope they'll at least call first thing in the morning!

Talk about frustrating! This can't be doing good things for your blood pressure! At least it wouldn't mine, but maybe that's just me.

Hope you can put it out of your mind long enough to sleep tonight.

Hey there! I have been on vacation and haven't checked your blog in awhile, but when I did today, I knew it must be because there was a need for prayer! Praying for you tonight and hoping there is good news for you in the morning!

An elephant! LOL. BubTar used to call KayTar "baby skeleton" when she was in my tummy after he saw the ultrasound. He would ask to watch the "scary baby skeleton" movie. Haha!
