Dr. Visit #5

After today's appointment, I was very relieved to know that everything is still going very well! Baby's heart sounded great, but I won't talk about my weight. We were supposed to have an ultrasound today, but are putting it off until next month when I do my glucose test. Dr. S figured that since I have an hour or so to kill while waiting on my test results that an ultrasound would fit in just fine, and I agree with him. However, I also had heard a rumor a few weeks ago about my doctor, but was hoping that it was just that, a rumor. But unfortunately it was not. I was very saddened today when he looked at me and said, "okay, I have to tell you something...I'm moving." I looked at him and told him that I was hoping that he wasn't going to tell me that, and that I had heard it a few weeks ago. Dr. Stern's family is in Colorado, so he and his wife and children will be packing up and heading out of here at the end of June. I can't blame him for wanting to move to Colorado and be with his family. The situation today was more of a "poor poor pitiful me" than a "poor poor pitiful doc." I have been seeing Dr. Stern for 9 years. He is a WONDERFUL doctor and I was looking forward to hopefully having him deliver my first baby, but unfortunately that won't be the case. I was very sad! Adams Patterson is a wonderful group and I'm sure that the doctor he has recommended will be just fine, but regardless he will still be missed!!!
