Why does pregnancy cause so much gas?
I've never farted like this in my life! I'm just not the gassy type person...until now. I'm so worried that I'm going to fart at church. It's just non-stop. There was this one morning, as soon as I woke up, I farted unwillingly. Then I heard Jae laugh at me! Darn! I thought he was sleeping. And even more embarrassing, Ellie was on the bed...staring at me. Man!

Changes
With the first pregnancy, I was able to accompany Wany to every visit to the doctor/hospital. I wanted to be involved in everything. With the second pregnancy, this is not going to be possible with Ellie.
This child is already on the brink of suffering from the second child syndrome. If you want new clothes you better be a boy.
With Ellie, most people didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl. This time around we are sensing that more people are hoping or will be hoping for a boy. The only reason I can think that I would want a boy over a girl is that it gives me an execuse to buy toys that I alwasy wanted but never had. Other than that I have come to embrace my estrogen rich life.

Decision Made
I had my first prenatal appt. today. I was seen earlier in the pregnacy than normal because I have a history of a molar pregnancy. The exam itself wasn't a big deal...pretty routine.
The biggest issue that I've been struggling with was whether to find an Ob/Gyn close to home and take the risk of ending up with a poor physician and hospital or to stay with the physician I'm familiar with whom I know will provide excellent care. So what's the big debate? The doctor I'd like to stay with is a good 45--50 minute drive. I'm usually not seen by the doctor until an hour after my scheduled appt. time. My sister and her husband can testify.
But I think the debate may be over. My appt. today was scheduled at 1:30pm, which is when I promptly arrived. The office didn't tell me I had to fill out paperwork, if that were the case, I would have come 15 minutes earlier. So it was 2:00 and I was finally called to my exam room where I waited another 15 minutes for a nurse who didn't even work there. She took my history for about half an hour. I was finally seen by the doctor at 3:00. I didn't leave the office til 4:00 and didn't get home til 5:45. I left the house at 12:30.
My brother-in-law was apparantly a "monkey in a tree" according to my sister when they had to wait at the same doctor's office. Ha ha ha ha....he threatened to switch to another doctor/hospital. I think I will do the same.
Next exam: March 28th for an ultrasound...same location...maybe the last visit.
