We went to the doctor yesterday and he did and ultrasound and showed up the face, a hand and the heartbeat which was this little pulsing light on the grainy screen. It was pretty neat to see. Dr. Sisco is an old hippie who's kind of a minimalist in a sense that he doesn't use a lot of fancy equipment. He even uses an old credit card machine that he has the swipe the thing over the card and make the carbon copy. And he told me it's because he wants to do everything he can to keep costs down for his patients. The newer credit card machine card a higher percentage per transaction so he doesn't use them. I wish hospitlas were like that. Every time you go to a hospital, you pay for a bunch of new fancy equipment that you'll probably never need. But they need to recoop the cost somehow, so they jack up their rates and pass the bill on to you. So no we don't have a printout of the ultrasound because he uses a really old monster of an ultrasound machine that doesn't seem to have that capability. And I'm fine with that. If Krystal wants a printout or a photo then next time we go I'll bring the digital camera and take a picture. Problem solved. We don't need to pay 3 times more for a printout from a machine.
Then at the end Dr. Sisco asked what Krystal ate from breakfast and when her answer was "Toaster Strudels", he was not a happy hippie doctor. He mandated that she was no longer aloud to eat toaster strudels and had to eat more fruit and lowfat food so the baby was smaller when it's born making it easier to push out. He said, "you don't want to put out a 10 lbs baby." So we let him know that I was a 10 lbs. baby, but mom didn't push me out. I wonder what she was eating when she was pregnant with me?

I ate all the chocolate I could get my hands on. Heee heee heeee! Janet only weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz. Seriously, I ate the same stuff when I was pregnant with you that I did with her. It was 17 days past your due date and they were gonna induce labor on me the day that I started labor all by myself. You were so big cuz you didn't want to come out. You liked it in there. The Doc even said you were holding on when they tried to pull you out during the C-section.
ReplyDeleteLOL to Mom. That's what Krystal's sister Rebecca did. She was 3 weeks late and weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces. I was in labor for like 45 minutes. Olivia was 5 pounds and she wasn't any more difficult to push out than Rebecca was. I vote for toaster strudels for breakfast.
