I woke up at eight o’clock. I had a shower, got dressed and had breakfast. I started to cook Alex’s sausages, he woke up at nine o’clock, so they were almost ready.
We left at ten thirty. I took Alex to Mom and Dad’s while I went to the bank, pet store, London Drugs and the doctors.
Dr. C was running late today, she has a medical student with her. She said to me to explain how I have to exercise with me being diabetic. I explained to the student I had to exercise after every meal.
Dr. C said did I give you a kick chart. I said a what?! She said a kick chart, it’s to keep track of when the baby kicks. The baby should kick ten times in a day. I said no you didn’t she also asked if I used it when I was pregnant with Alex. I said no I never did. There is a lot of different things between the two doctors. My stomach was never measured with Alex and a Doppler was never used either.
Dr. C went to find one but the nurse wasn’t able to locate one.
Then when she asked me to lie down, she was called to the phone. She told the student to find the baby’s heartbeat. The student felt around with her hands but didn’t have much luck. Dr. C had told her that I would be able to help her. I don’t know why she thought that. I can feel the baby but I don’t know which part of the body it is, probably the bottom.
Dr. C finally came back. She used the Doppler and found the heartbeat almost right away. It was in the area I thought I felt something.
Dr. C said she was going to order a non stress test. I said in the booklet it said at 34 weeks it was done. Dr. C said she wanted to have it done and she was afraid they would forget.
Dr. C said to come back in two weeks. By the time I got out of there is was 12:20 pm. Luckily Mom had already made lunch. We left before one o’clock for Children’s Hospital.
This time we didn’t have any trouble getting there. Mary called Alex in right away. Then we waited for Dr. S. , she called us into the examining room. She said Alex’s counts had only come up 20 points which wasn’t good enough. She said to still stop the Mercaptopurine and the Methotrexiate for another week. Dr. S said she was looking for an appointment for a week Wednesday. That way Alex can go to the first day of school. I thought that was a bit strange when Alex’s counts are low.
Dr. S said if Alex’s counts weren’t up by next week he would have to have a bone marrow test done. I was pretty upset about that, it’s not very good if they have to do that.
We left at two fifteen, we went to Coquitlam Centre. Alex wants to buy another turtle. I don’t usually buy Alex anything when he just has a blood test but Alex insisted we buy something.
We came home afterwards, Alex had bought Shredder. He went into the spare room to play with it.
Charlie came home at four o’clock. Jeff of Dason Realty came over at five o’clock. He had sold the house next door. He said his client Mrs. Chang is friends of theirs. They asked quite a few things about the house.
Charlie went out to buy dinner.. We ate at six o’clock.
Alex was mad at me because I won’t let him eat any junk food. He said there’s nothing to eat. I told him then he could get ready for bed. Alex finally decided he would have a cream cheese sandwich.
Alex went to bed at eight o’clock but he didn’t fall asleep until after nine o’clock. He started coughing again so I gave him cough medicine.
