Working from Home

So at this point I am fully working from home. I thought I could get tons done. But really it is tiring. So I work about 25-30 hours per week. Its not too bad. But you are really limited when you are in bed as you can imagine.

I had my apt with Dr. Beals(Lupus doc). Aunt Jamie took me to this apt. Good lord I had to wait forever to see her. She is so busy, and so popular, u just have to deal with it. When she came in it was so nice to see her. Usually I see Amanda, her assistant. But Amanda has since moved to Colorado with her boyfriend. She is the greatest and her and I still keep in touch. In fact before she knew Logan was a boy, she kept telling me to name it Amanda. haha Anyway...my apt went well. As far as Lupus goes, my symptoms have really been non existent. She said that some people that happens to for no reason really.

We talked about breast feeding. I have been back and forth on what to do. I really dont want to do it. But I feel like I am depriving my child of what is important. She said it would be better if I did not breastfeed. That I will more than likely have a flair up within the first 2 weeks of giving birth. If I have one at all. And that she will not be able to treat me if I am breastfeeding. And what good will I be to my baby if I am sick or dead? So that made my mind up. And I am going to stick with formula. She said we can wing it. Or I could pump until I am well. But I just assume stick to one over the other and not confuse him.

She was then mad that nobody told her I was on bed rest. She said that she will come to see me at my house for my next apt. She will draw my blood and everything here. That she does not want me out of bed at all. She is the sweetest lady ever. And we have a pretty good friendship. She said I am her favorite patient and she will do anything for me. I thought that was so great. So in December she will be making a house call. hahah

I had an ultrasound with Dr. Kelleys office. And we took my mom. Eric and I laugh because I went in with Eric to get my exam and we left my mom in the lobby. And by the time we were done, she had made friends with some lady. Her daughter was there to be seen to check on her PreEclampsia diagnosis.

They tested us with our first FFN test. Which later would come back negative. Woooh. And when we were in the lobby waiting for me to check out. The lady that my mom had befriended comes over and says to my mom...."oooh I see pictures, I just have to see what he looks like". So then of course mom gives this lady our pictures of Logan. Eric and I gave each other a look like "Who in the hell is this woman?" But she was super nice. And mom and her were just two concerned moms there with their daughters. It was funny.
