No appointment!

I have posted several times about looking forward to my appointment, which was scheduled for the other day (Tuesday). I was very excited about hearing my baby's heartbeat again. It is so hard to wait when you can't feel your baby yet. I just want some reassurance that all is well.

Well, I got to my doctor's office, for my appointment, and I noticed the receptionist was giving me a funny look as I was walking up. I told her I was there for my 3:00 appointment. She just kinda looked at me a second and then said, "Dr. Bolton isn't in the office this week. You must be mistaken." That was not something I wanted to hear. I promptly told her that I did have an appointment that day and she then turned to check her computer. My appointment wasn't there. Interesting. She said, "Is there anything I can do for you? Do you need your pills refilled or anything?" Pills!?!?! I told her I was there for a prenatal appointment (it is true that I still do not look like I am pregnant- at all). Then she got a bit haughty. I could see all over her face what she was thinking- That I was a pregnant idiot whose brain had taken a vacation. She irritatedly replied, "Well, you must have gotten your dates mixed up. I think you are mistaken." Oh my! That flew all over me. I know I gave her a not-so-nice look as I grabbed my appointment card out of my purse and handed it to her. I said, "I think you must be the one who was mistaken." Clear as day, on my appointment card, it said 3/13/2012 @ 3:00. She quickly changed her attitude. She said, "Oh no, how could this have possibly happened? I am so sorry. I will work you in ASAP next week. When is good for you? You just tell me a time and I will make it work."

So, now my appointment will be this next Tuesday, the 20th. I am still looking forward to it, but I wish this mix up had not occurred. I was ready to cry by the time I got back to my car. Thank goodness I was already in town doing other things that day. If I had gotten ready, make-up and all, on a Spring Break day, and driven all the way into town for just that appointment, I would have been very angry.
