Okay so this post is mainly a major vent fest, so sorry and feel free to skip over it. I went to the doctors yesterday and left wanting to kill anyone and everyone who got within 10 feet of me. So I am 9 months pregnant, huge and completely unstable (just ask my husband) . I am expecting the normal routine at the check-up and got it for the most part, but then the NP tells me "did you know that in other countries it is 43 weeks before they are expected to deliver their babies?" (I of course said no, who knows that?) she then says "I think that we rush things here and you shouldn't expect to have us deliver you before you are 43 weeks." Okay this is where I about lose it. Hello! Am I an elephant? What is she talking about? I am not expecting to be induced early or anything, but 43 weeks, Come On! I was so annoyed I just stopped talking and got out of there as quickly as possible. The poor receptionist up front had to deal with my killer glares as she was trying to set up my next appointment, and then I stormed out of the office and to my car. I just don't understand why anyone would mess with the mind of a huge prego women. I mean who does that? We are just better left alone at this point in the pregnancy. I came home almost in tears and took it out on my poor husband who tried to be supportive and helpful (which for some reason ticks you off more). I have now decided to wear ear plugs to the next appointment for the safety of all those involved. :)
You might need to know that today I am in better spirits and have decided not to kill anyone.

The nerve of some people! That would be hell to go 43 weeks. I barely made it to 37 so I can't even imagine 6 more weeks. I would die! Well hang in there Kristi and eat some spicy food or something! :)
Hey Kristi,
I dont think that was a funny story but it did make me smile because i like how you tell stories. Im sorry that person was a geek, but there is no way you will go that long. your gonna go early with this little one:) Besides they cant make you go 43 weeks it is not safe for you or the baby! Its just around they corner, but you have every right to feel any crazy emotions when your prego. Its your free card to do whatever:) love your buns
glad i was in idaho:) i am queen of the "destroy anything in my path" days, ask adam. sorry that was such a bummer, its just around the corner I can feel it, does that lady even have kids? i guess she won't if she says something like that to you next time:) love you talk to you soon!
that comment was actually from me, erin elise, but i was hacked onto emily's account cause i am making her a blog, check it out vickeryvamps.blogspot.com that's what she wanted:)
Kristi, I've been blog hopping and found yours through Kelli's blog. Congrats on your baby's upcoming arrival. I know those last couple of weeks are the hardest and patience has completely flown out the window. Being the birth junkie that I am, my only advice is to remember that your baby will come when he/she is ready. And your baby will be plenty ready long before 43 weeks. It sounds like NP helping you was unprofessional and shouldn't have said that. Good luck with your baby's birth. Can't wait to read the birth story.
HELP! I sent you a package for your baby but the company called me just now needing more information. They say they have tried three times to make the delivery. I called Dianne to get help but she didn't answer. Can you help me? They are going to send it back if they do not hear from me and I certainly don't want that. Hang in there. Aunt Vicki
I think I got it straightened out. You should get the gifts today. Can't wait to hear when your little one is here. Hug your babies for me. :) We love you, Aunt Vicki and Uncle Terry
Kristi-I am fairly sure they give classes at college called "how to push an unbalanced woman over the edge 101" I remember when Austin was due Oct. 17th. Everyone took bets when I would have him. Some said the 20th, some said Halloween and Jack, Scotts brother walked up and said "Nov 11th, my birthday!" I told him it would be a cold day in you know where before I had that baby 21 days over due! Well, guess what-I'm sure it was a cold day somewhere because that is the day I went into labor. (I was so grouchy-If I could of crossed my legs and kept him in I would of-I think that is called P-R-I-D-E) That is when I left town for 3 days, stayed in a hotel and ate those big, fat sugar cookies non-stop! Nobody even knew where I was! A very mature way to handle it, don't you think?? I even stopped going to church in Aberdeen, we went to Pocatello and when someone waved to us in the parking lot, I started crying because I thought someone was going to say "Haven't you had that baby yet?" They kept giving the baby non-stress tests, I think they should of given one to me! When the nurse would say see you next week, I would just start bawling and walk out the door. I know it's hard for YOU to imagine ME being so off-balanced...Ha! it is amazing I am as normal as I am.
I promise you will get through this and she will be beautiful! Love You-Dianne
Dear Kristi,
thank you so much for the outfit, blanket, and little elephant! That was so kind of you, and its so fun to get things in the mail! I love the little elephant :) I cant wait till its all crusty with slobber from Hunter! Im so excited to see your little girl! and your other part of your fam! Tell Derek that I love him so much and I cant wait to see him:)
Hey kristi! Just peaking in on you from kellli's blog - you have such a cute family!
I admire you for not letting into that insane woman! I am guessing she has never a child herself? Plus, after giving birth in Germany, a country which prides themself in keeping up with the most ancient medical trends ever, we were always in full agreement that 40 weeks is full term! I could not, on the other hand, convince them to let me drink anything other than tea or water for my 4 day hospital stay though! Sorry for venting - I was feeling your pain! Good luck with everything!
You poor thing!! I hope that you don't have to endure any more weeks, and you are the funniest girl. I love reading your blogs. Good luck with this new baby. I can't wait to see pictures.
hey Kristi,
you are so close.....and i get to see you in two days! Im so excited!!!!!! we love you
