6 Week OB Check
I had my 6 week OB check this morning.
When I called to double check my appointment the nurse told me I would be seeing Dr. W because my doctor, Dr. H., was out on leave. I accepted this begrudgingly and kept the appointment for this morning. Upon arrival and a little conversation I found out that Dr. H. has decided to leave the practice all together.
WTH?
He was new when I changed my doctor midstream in my pregnancy. Dr. W. said he moved out of the area. Whatever. My only problem with Dr. W is that he is far too handsome to be an OBGYN. I mean, really, I prefer old or unattractive OBGYN's. And god forbid a woman OBGYN. I mean, for those of you who use one, more power to you, for me, it is too much like lesbianism. Sorry, not meaning to alienate any lesbians out there, but it is just not my cup o' tea.
My god I derailed that line of thought and what a lovely crash it is ...
Anywho ...
I went to the doctor this morning. Any one wondering about my previous post questioning the loss of my mojo, let me clarify that mojo is not groove. My groove thang checked out perfectly well and as of today I have medical permission to get my groove back on.
For those who might be too young to understand that little flash back to Peaches and Herb, my sex drive is perfectly fine and well and has been idling in park since the birth of my son. It never left me nor ran out of gas. It was actually pretty high octaine there in the end. .. ahem...
So, I go to the doctor's and they do all those things we hate when we go to the doctor's. But the worst part where they put you through hell and make you stand on that little metal plate connected to the thing with numbers that tell you the relative mass of body in terms of pounds ...
... well ...
I lost 25 lbs since I came home from the hospital!!! I am in no way skinny but that is a damn good start!!!
Yayyy me!!!
That is all I have to say except ... I only gained 3 1/2 pounds (I think that is what we calculated) when I was pregnant and the baby weighed 9lbs 11oz. heh :-) ... I was 1 size smaller when I delivered than when I got pregnant to start with ... Today I am 2 sizes smaller ...
Got it?
2.
Sizes.
Smaller.
25! Pounds!
You can be jealous now. I got a baby and lost 25lbs. :-)
I heard the word 'bitch' that you all just exhaled.
I heard the word 'bitch' that you all just exhaled.
I don't think too many women end up 2 sizes smaller than they were pre-pregnancy. Way to go!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are the only woman I have ever heard of who can say that. That is gjust great for you, Angie.
Hi Ange ~~ Congratulations on the birth of your son,
and also for surviving the 6 week OB check up.
Thanks for visiting Herons Nest and for your comments. Cheers, Merle.
Wow...that IS great! Maybe I should get pregnant a fifth time and have another so that I can lose some weight... :)
Sorry about your doctor leaving, but it does happen. One of the docs in our practice had to go and I'm sure that to her patients, it was sudden and confusing and very 'WTH'. But they have personal problems too. Sucks though for the patient...I've been there.
That's great! Also considering your full of breastmilk as well!! ahaha. .I don't remember the math, but was extremely excited to come home from the hospital and put my jeans on 2 weeks after giving birth. Mind you my jeans are way up high in the double digits or with a couple little x's in front of them, but still.... it's a good feeling isn't it :) I think we're about due for some new pictures of your handsome little man aren't we? :)
Damn, you've got good ears!
Just kidding. I'm thrilled for you on your groove green light as well as your weight loss. However I am now questioning my sexuality as my GYN is a she....hmmmmm.......
I didn't drop 2 sizes, but I am now smaller (1 size) than before I was pregnant. Of course, my daughter is FIVE...
Way to go! So proud (and yep, jealous) of you!
How in the world did you do that?!
Dang,woman!
Oh, and I started out with a female OB/GYN because I wanted someone who actually understood what having a baby felt like, but she was a bitch so I changed to a male doctor.
But really there's not much difference between a lesbian OB/GYN and a straight male OB/GYN, is there?!
am thinking old ob/gyn or lady ob/gyn okay.
handsome young doc. so NOT okay. I'd have run for the hills.
But 25 pounds? Hoo-RAY! That is some accomplishment. Big weight loss and a beautiful little boy...it doesn't get much better than that.
(bitch :) )
way to go on the 25 lbs!
Heh..heh.. ;0)
woohoo! great job with the svelteness! I hear you on the female obgyn, too. I tried one in my younger days and she was much less gentle than the male doctor I finally settled with.
Congrats on the 25 pounds and two sizes! Amazing!
