Thursday was not a good day. We had been hoping for good news from the new job Mark is suppose to be starting. On Wednesday the lady that hired him finally answered the phone. She was very apologetic because some decisions she had made had messed up the week for Mark. On Monday she allowed a different driver to take the load Mark was suppose to get. This driver managed to break the truck. So she was out of town taking care of that. She said she'd get Mark a load for Thursday that would get him back sometime on Monday. We were thrilled since he would be making a little bit of money. Of course when he called on Thursday she did not have a load that would get him back on Monday. Of course he has to be home sometime Monday since we have to be at the hospital early Tuesday morning for the birth of baby #3. This lack of a load put both of us in bad moods. Add to that the children were being complete stinkers.
I also had a doctor appointment in Traverse City. My mom was going to take me up. I didn't want to go. The week before I did not get to see my doctor instead I got the mid-wife. She was running very behind and made me late for the appointment I had at the hospital. Unfortunately I had to see her again this week. My mom picked me up and drove us up there. I was not in a good mood since I have been stressing about how we were going to pay for gas to get there on Tuesday and how we were going to be able to feed Mark while there. When we got to the doctor's office I was surprised by the lack of cars. When we got inside there was no one in the waiting room. At the desk I was informed that the mid-wife had pneumonia and was at home. She tried to call me but my phone has been turned off soooooooo.......we made the trip for nothing. I realize that this time they did try to call but I have not had a good experience with this office. I have only seen my doctor three maybe four times in nine months. That is not what I signed up for. When she was in a practice with just one other doctor I saw her every time...which is exactly what I wanted!! Two babies with her that way. Then she joined this practice and I have seen the other doctors more then her. Right now my doctor is in Florida. She is suppose to be back before Tuesday. This experience with the new office makes me question if I would go back to her if I had another baby. Granted I don't plan to have another baby but then you never know.
After getting back home Mark and I had a huge fight. We are both stressed beyond belief right now and sometimes it bubbles over. We did make up before bed though. This morning I mentioned selling some jewelry at a pawn shop in a town about 3o minutes from here. Mark called them and they do buy jewelry so we went there this afternoon. They bought a necklace/bracelet combo and some rings. We now have enough money to get to the hospital on Tuesday and to feed Mark while we are there. Yay! We can now have a somewhat stress free weekend and finish up the few things we need to do to be ready for the baby.
I am thrilled to have enough money to have my husband by my side for the birth of baby #3. We have to leave around 4:15am on Tuesday. My c-section is at 7:15 and we have to be there by 5:30. I better get all the sleep I can this weekend!!!
