25 Week Appointment

On March 4th, I had one of my monthly appointments with Dr. Sundstom. I was 25 weeks 3 days. I arrived at the office at 3:45 and was not seen until 5:15. It was easily the longest I've waited to see a doctor at this particular office.

While I was in the room waiting for him to see me, I could hear him in the room next to me with a patient. She was crying and carrying on for what seemed like forever. I don't know what was going on but I could hear her say that she was scared and that she was afraid it would happen again. I immediately decided that I would not be agitated with how long it took Dr. Sundstrom to make it to my room. I had been that patient before and sometimes, you just need to cry to the doctor and get that reassurance.

When he did finally get to me, I was his very last patient of the day. He apologized over and over again and simply said that it was one of those days where a couple patients needed a little extra attention. I assured him it was fine! He turned to the nurse and said "Why don't you go get the ultrasound machine. Let's have a little fun!" I was so excited! He felt so bad for my wait that he gave me the 7th sonogram of this pregnancy!! I got to watch little Luke dance in my tummy and we even saw him yawning. It was too cute. After I asked him a list of questions Dustin and I had compiled, and he had checked everything out, I was on my way!

The baby was perfect and his heartbeat was 149. It has been 149 the last three times we have checked :) Also, he is so big that you can't see him as well on the sonogram anymore. He is very spread out so you can't get his head and feet in the same shot.

I am so thankful for a doctor who takes time with patients when they need it. I honestly feel like he genuinely cares and that makes all the difference!!

13 weeks to go!
