6 FREAKIN pounds!?

Well, I had my 35th week check-up today, and let me tell you. I have had better visits! First off, I wasn't able to see the midwife that I always do. I got some woman named Peggy. I figured that since Beth (my usual midwife) was on call, I might as well try the one that my husband's friends loved and adored. But we will get to her later! As usual, at every doctor appointment they check your urine, weight and blood pressure. Well, I had to pee in a regualr bathroom and carry my urine sample to the lab. Yuck. Like everyone wants to see a 9 month pregnant woman waddling down the hall with a cup of her own pee right after lunch time! And to make matter worse, I stepped on the scale and I gained 6!!! YES! 6 freakin pounds! And this is since LAST week! And I am sitting there thinking, "How the hell?" .
Okayy, NOW on to the wonderful *cough* Peggy. She calls me from the waiting area and leads the hubby and I to the room she would be seeing us in. She then proceeds to tell me to undress from the waist down. Today I am getting the Group B Strep Test. First of all, those things are bad enough. Second of all, I am meeting this woman for the first time and she wants to get THAT close and personal! Well, after we waited a few minutes she comes in and looks at my chart. She looks and me and says, "6 pounds? In a week!?" I shake my head yes, still wondering how the hell? She then looks at my ankels and says, "THATS why! Your retaining water!" Great. Just freakin great! Just when I thought I was gonna get lucky this go around and not retain any, my legs start to look like tree trunks. Bleh. But get this! That darn Peggy measured my fundal and never told me what I was measuring! Didn't tell me lil mans heart rate! AND didnt ask if we had questions! WTF!?!? So when we got to the front desk I looked the lady in the eye and said, "I want to see Beth, whatever day next week she is open, I will TAKE IT."

Ha. Wonder how Miss.Peggy felt about THAT!
