In other news, I called my Doctor's office last Monday because I had a billing question. I figured I'd ask about my test results because, by then, it had been 9 business days. I knew it was still a bit early to ask but figured what the heck.. The biller told me she couldn't find the chart and she assumed it must be on the doctor's desk... So she said she'd have the doctor call me back. I was thinking if my chart is on his desk, maybe my results are back ?? He called me back and told me that he didn't have the results yet. He said it was too early and asked if my blood was drawn on 5/10. I said no my blood was drawn on 5/7. He responded with "oh, well the results should be back by now. I'll have the nurse check into it." I was expecting to get a call Tuesday or Wednesday... but nothing. I regret not calling back myself! I had to work Thursday and didn't have time to call the office. I decided to call on Friday while I was at work and had a little down time. Of course.....the office is closed for the holiday weekend. What the heck? I told the charge nurse about it (I told her a while ago that I had the testing done & why, etc..) She said she would call the answering service if she were me.. rather then having to go through another weekend all stressed out. I decided to call them and explain the situation. They said they'd leave a message for the office to call me back, then I get "oh! I didn't know they were going to be closed all weekend! They reopen on Tuesday." I told the women that I already knew that and is there any way for the on-call Dr to look up my labs. She said no and that they only deal with emergencies. :( So I have to wait till Tuesday to call & hopefully get my results. It's just so nerve-wrecking. I didn't want to be at work when I got the results just in case they weren't what I was hoping for.. but I plan on calling as soon as they open tomorrow morning. Waiting for these results have been torture.
According to babycenter.com:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment.
If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
According to thebump.com, baby is the size of a papaya:
How far along? 22 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain: around 15 lbs :-O
Maternity clothes? yes, maternity pants. I can still fit into my regular shirts.
Sleep: better! Still waking up at least 1x/night but not to use the bathroom. yay! lol
Miss Anything? not really.
Movement: Yes.. quite often! :) David finally felt the baby kick last night.
Food cravings: just the usual junk food...chocolate!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Labor Signs: no
Symptoms: round ligament pain (OW!), backache everyday
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: a little moody lately. Could be the stress from waiting for those test results..
Looking forward to: Getting my test results, starting on the nursery, and starting our baby registries! :)
