Not All Docs Suck
"If Madonna is the mother of all pop stars, then Britney is her favorite daughter, but Christina is the daughter who most takes after her."--Holly Millea in her cover-story interview with Xtina in this month's US "Elle"

J and I had another joint appt with our mutual GP, who indulges us by seeing us together and enduring our incessant questions abt both of our medical conditions. His nurse and he have always been even-keeled on the weight issue, telling me to avoid crap food, of which I do have some excess, and even praising me more for being on the light side of avg gains in pregnancy.
When I told him OB E said no more gain, he laughed. "Well, different clinicians have different views on the subject, but I think that it is normal and to be expected that you will gain some weight. I doubt you will get from here to birth without gaining any weight, and that is OK."
He also gave us the good news that OHIP might start covering the newer vaccinations for babies. Duh, public health means immunizing dozens of babies against chicken pox, meningitis, and one other I can't remember, is cheaper than hospitalizing even one kid for a week when they contract it. In the meantime, it's $80 a pop out of pocket. Remember that the next time you hear abt "free" health care.

Still gearing up for the UofG stuff, but I'm so far behind, and the only way I got through the wait was to tell myself that it wasn't happening and stop planning for it and go to Plan B. Now Plan A is back. GACK!
