Doctors and Family

I dropped off my 24 hours worth of pee. They stole more blood from me while I was there.

"Well, I guess I might have a few drops left.."

You know how when you usually go to the doctor, they ask you to pee in a cup for them (even though I heard they're stopping that)? So far, every time I've gone, they've managed to steal my blood.

I think they might be selling it on the black market.

Okay.. I know I've been signing up for every single kind of baby screening..so the blood thing is my fault, but geeze! They don't even give me a cookie or anything afterwards. I feel so jipped.


I should also clarify that my doctor..isn't actually a bitch. She's probably one of the best doctors I've ever been to. Pregnancy this time around is so much different..in the sense that they don't rush me out of their office as soon as I tell them I haven't been feeling sick. Cohen's office just about never gave me a chance to sit there and talk to them..ya know..get comfy with the people who will be delivering my baby. It always ended up being a 45 minute drive to their office (when I lived in Castle Rock, anyway..and then 3 minutes from where we lived in Lakewood).. I'd sign in, write them a check, wait to be called back, piss in a cup, play the waiting game till a doctor finally decided to come back and see me, talk to them for roughly 5 minutes, schedule another appointment..and leave.

Not to mention Dr. Cohen himfuckingself called me a fat dumb dumb EVERY time I saw him. "Why are you gaining so much weight, dumb dumb?" uhhhhhhh maybe befuckingcause I had a disease that NO ONE in your office picked up on until 2 days before I went into labor, you jerkface! HATE! I will say that Orion was my hero the day that Dr. Cohen again said that to me (while I was in labor, actually). He chimed in with "Don't call my wife dumb." Matter of fact..BAM..there it is, biotch! Cohen stopped what he was doing..and they had a stare off. Orion won.

Golly, I'm so glad he didn't deliver my baby. HATE!!

They did, however, take their time with the ultrasounds. But at that time, I was still so nervous about what was happening to me that I didn't get the chance to stare and say "awwww" like I so want to now.


Anyway..what I was saying was..this doctor? She's not bad. She was actually quite nice to me. Sat with us for 2 whole hours talking about everything. I'm not too sure she meant the deployment thing in the way it came out.. but please understand, this is the Army. Spouses come and go ALL the time. I'm not used to it yet..however, everyone else seems to be. And talking about it matter of factly like that just seems to be the trend. It's real life..you have to get used to it at some point.

I don't wanna.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the newest addition to my fantastically large family. His name is Connor James and he belongs to (haha) my oldest sister, Jenna:


I'm fairly sure that little bleached blonde kid (don't ask)
is Aiden. He and Dylan look too much alike..but I think I'd
put money on that being Aiden. Also, Jenna, Lyndsay (my oldest niece. aww),
and of course, Connor.



Connor..SO CUTE!



And of course..Jenna and Connor.
(can ya tell she's my sister? hehe)


Let's see..so that brings the niece & nephew list up to how many?
Lyndsay, Dylan, Aiden, Connor, Hunter, Rylie, Camden, Alyssa, Trenton, Mikayla, Willow, McKenzee, Ash, Bella. Others would include Calix..but he's my son.
Then there are the step children: Caitlin, Sean, and Mari.
And there are 2 more babies on the way!

Holy geezeeee.
