The Mystery Continues

Well, I just got back from the doctor, and while I did get to hear the two babies' hearts beating, she didn't do a sonogram to see the baby's sex. I guess I misunderstood the last visit discussion, and they aren't subject to my whims of wanting to know. Pooh! So we'll have to wait till the next time, I guess! One baby had a slightly faster heart rate, which makes you wonder-- what is that one doing that's different? Jogging in there? Or what? It was like 10 BPM faster than its sibling. Maybe one of them was napping and that's why it was slower. Who the heck knows.

The doctor seemed a bit put off about my switching to the FREE military care. You know, if I stayed with her, it would be cheaper than if I were paying for it all myself, but I'd still have to pay 20% of all costs. And that will get to be a pretty chunk of change. And if I go to the military base, it's totally free. Even 20% of free is still free. So. Even though I like the old Dr. I'm switching from, I don't like her that much. If I could have stayed with her, I would have. But now that I think of it, she's a bit hard to get information out of. She's ready to pop right out of the room and I have to ask questions, and while she's very polite and nice and answers the questions fine, don't you think she ought to say, before planning to grab chart and go, "well, any questions?" or something like that? Maybe it's like when you break up with someone; you start thinking of all the things you didn't like so you feel a little better about the breakup. But still.

Maybe my next visit will be within two weeks. I'm eligible to go to the military stuff on the 1st, and I'm going to make the appointment as soon after that as possible. So maybe then we'll find out what they babies are. To be the typical parent though: I really only care in that it's cool to know. I only care if they're healthy and happy and have all the requisite important parts.
