Ultrasound # 3

Sorry for the dearth in posting lately.  There haven't been any new or shocking developments, other than the fact that I have successfully avoided stopping at a Dairy Queen for nearly 9 days.  But today I went in for yet another ultrasound, this time at Rush.  I think I mentioned before that Baby Girl was so active during the last one that they didn't catch pictures of everything they wanted.  Today, she was the complete opposite!  Bashful Baby decided to hide her face with her hands the whole time, although I did get to see some her face in motion.  So cute!  She also kept her tummy rolled facing back towards my spine, so the tech couldn't see her umbilical cord.  They left me laying on the table, all gooey, for about 15 minutes, waiting for the doctor to come in.  Luckily, laying on my back seems to irritate her, because she started flipping around, so when the doctor finally came in and started doing the ultrasound again she was ready to go.  I have to say, I am glad this guy is not by regular OB/GYN.  He didn't talk to me at all while he was looking around in there, and when he was done he tossed a folded paper drape in my belly, told me to clean up, I was done, and walked out.  Very weird.  He did say that everything looked good, once he was finally able to see what he needed to.    I did learn three new things about the hospital where I'll be delivering.  1: The whole area is under construction because they are building a new hospital wing.  So if I were going to deliver in 2012, it'd be great!  2:  The place is a freaking labyrinth!  I kept expecting some troll or David Bowie to pop out from behind a corner and switch the signs around just mess with my head!  To get from the parking garage to the professional building was no fewer than 6 blind turns.  I had a street address, but that isn't posted on any of the interior signs, now is it...  Then I decided I'd go find the Labor & Delivery back in the main hospital, glutton for punishment that I am.  A long hallway, two rights and a left, and then follow the signs for Elevator E which take you at least a half a mile from point A down a creepy corridor with blind corners and dead ends.  Then I had to navigate back from there to the parking garage.  Luckily there was a nice and knowledgeable lady on the elevator to point me in the right direction.  3: There is a perk to wandering for so long, the Atrium.  Tasty temptations at Au Bon Pain. Needless to say I splurged on an iced tea/ lemonade & oatmeal cookie after my walking workout before heading back home. Yum! (I'll try to post some pics once I get them scanned in...)
