Specialist visit

Okay so I dont know about you but going to specialist sounds very intimidating. I was so scared. I was just thinking in my head, gosh why can't I be normal like most of my friends and go to my normal dr and be done. But no I have to have this dumb high blood pressure issue.
To get an appointment I had to be referred by my Dr and the soonest they could get me in was two weeks. My appointment was this past Wednesday at 8 in the morning. How lovely!! I hardly slept the previous two nights because I had been working very hard on my final project for my art class. The good thing was that I found the place all by myself and that I was the first one there. I was very on time. :)
I waited for what felt like forever! SO annoying and I had to see about five or six different people. Finally, they called my name in and I went to the Ultrasound tech room first. Let me tell you it was so nice.. Big, and the lady that did all that was awesome. She took about 80 pictures with the ultrasounds and gave them all to me on a CD. :D I am very excited about that. She also told me what the sex is. I wasn't expecting to find out but I was super excited. So she found the babys legs and stufff.. and we're having a baby BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in complete shock since I honestly thought I was going to have a little girl. Thats okay though because we are going to have so much fun with either. I was super excited that I just wanted to call Chris (since he wasn't able to go with me :( ) , but I couldn't because it said not to use your cell phones in the room. He was sleeping anyways. Then, after the thirty minute ultrasounds the Dr came in and told me everything looks good. After that I got sent to a medical assistant where I had to wait another 20 minutes only so she could take my blood pressure and tell me it was a little too high... As soon as I finished with that lady she sent another Dr and he interviewed me about tons of things and questions. He then concludes to tell me he doesn't want to put me on medication yet. He told me that I need to come back in a week because I will get my blood drawn today and theyre going to check my blood work and urine. Greattttt! So there I go and wait another ten to fifteen minutes so I can get pricked. YUCK, I honestly hate needles with a passion. So the last thing that they did to me was take a little tube thing of my blood. Finally, I got home around ten and I got to wake up my hunnie and tell him that he is going to be a father to a cute little boy. Chris was supper happy and then we called everyone to let them know.

What do I have to look forward to next week?? Well I have my regular Dr appointment on Tuesday and then on Wednesday I have a check up at the specialist. WO HOOOO who doesn't love the Doctors office right? Nothing like wasting a couple hours of your day. I know that I'm having the wrong attitude but it's very annoying to have two appointments in a week. Im just venting right now but honestly I feel blessed and not to mention blessed to have a little boy on the way.
