34 weeks

Had a doctor appointment this week that got moved up. Thought I was leaking amniotic fluid, just paranoid. Third trimester is no joke. Everything just gets amplified. Gas, swelling, fluids, headaches... My mom doesn't like our doctor. She (and we) believe that you should choose when you go on maternity leave. My body just can't handle these long retail days anymore. I get home, barely able to move due to the massive amounts of swelling in my legs. My parents are due to arrive sometime in the second week of September. That is my goal to leave work... Maybe mom can convince my doctor. After all, at 36 weeks we start going to see him every week. There have been major changes to our OB lately, as I've mentioned, but now there is one more. One of our doctors (Seidel) is MIA. They have told us that he is on family leave, and they don't know when he is coming back, so that means that we will surely have Shashadri or the midwife to deliver Lucas. That kinda sucks, because we really loved Seidel, and now we are settling. It's too late to switch doctors, and Seidel is nowhere to be found. It's kind of suspicious. We wonder if something happened to his family, or he has left the practice. The office is really vague. Ugh! Oh well, I guess the dr doesn't entirely matter, as long as we are taken care of.
