32 Weeks

I can tell the little one is continuing to grow because my appetite is continuing to grow. I eat every two to three hours now, but usually they are small in portion to keep the heartburn in check. But last night I had my first killer craving that wasn't fruit. At about four in the afternoon I simply had to have sugar cookies. Since my favorite brand is not sold in this state, I had to make my own, but it was worth it. T laughed at my sudden intense need for sugar cookies because so far I have not been a crazy craving pregnant woman.
I had another OB appointment this week, and it was with the same OB as last time. At the previous appointment this OB had left me with a bad taste in my mouth for his bedside manner. He was very rushed and didn't seem to understand the concept of closed doors for patient information. This time I was in the exam room a total of two minutes for my appointment because he was again rushed. I had figured that since he had left immediately after my appointment to deliver last time, that I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Now I am sure this guy just has a terrible bedside manner. So after my appointment I walked to my permanent OB to finish asking the questions that I had and feel like I hadn't wasted the 25 minutes trip downtown.
T and I have both gotten the get-it-done bug this week. I finished organizing the closet in the nursery as best I can while pregnant. I can at least get to my craft materials and still have room for the baby's stuff. T and I spent the other evening in the attic trying to get it organized in there so we have more storage space. We sorted out a lot of stuff to go to Goodwill and to be sold. We still have a lot that needs to be done in there, but already we have a ton more space and can get to things like suitcases without a lot of hassle.
Today we have our first appointment with a prospective pediatrician and next week we will visit another. I came up with a laundry list of questions so hopefully the doctor set aside more than a few minutes to talk to us. I am just glad we are doing this now rather than getting to the hospital and having to try to find one then. Both practices came highly recommended by friends and coworkers, and both are within a two mile drive of our house. I considered using our family practice office, but they always have a full waiting room with just a few toys, and have lost several physicians in the last year. I like my doctor because he is no nonsense, quick and efficient, but I don't get the sense that is what I would want from my pediatrician when my first child gets sick and I don't know what to do or think.
