Lack of Information

I called the OBGYN yesterday to make my appointment. Turns out they don't want to see you until your 6-8 weeks. Ok, but what do i do till then? I had to ask to leave a message for the nurse. When she didn't call me back a few hours later, I called my family doctor Dr. Hunter. Dr. Hunter's nurse Shelby called me right back. She was amazing, gave me all kinds of info on what not to eat. She told me some things to look for and look out for. She even explained to me why they don't see you until your 8 weeks pregnant. That's all I wanted, someone to talk to.

Finally at 4:30 the OBGYN nurse called back. She said we'd talk about everything when i came in, i'm thinking but i'm pregnant NOW, I want to know more. In this day everyone has email. All she had to do was say, what's your email, let me send you some information right now and some common questions. How hard could that be. I understand they do this every day, but i don't. She didn't seem very educated either. She didn't mention half the things Shelby told me.

Dave and I talked about it last night and he was very unhappy with the lack of information as well.

We went to southend last night to see the 3rd floor where my birthday party will be next month. Then we all (mom/dad/liv/me/dave) went to Social for dinner. Mom went to the book store yesterday and got me the new edition of "What to expect when you're expecting". We read a little when we got home about the different options in child birth. We still have no idea what we're doing, but we have some time to get on our feet.
