Everyone there (mostly relatives) annoys the crap out of me and for the past week I've been extremely irritable and easy to annoy, so its been a real struggle to hold that back.

Rants/raves: I work part time in a school and we officially started this week which means getting up extra early again - this does not jive with my need for excessive amounts of sleep right now.

DD 3: 9-16-17

Weeks/Fruit: 5 weeks/apple seed
Symptoms: none
Appointments: Oct. 7
Rants/Raves: A close family member just accepted a job in my OB office and will start later this month. I have my first (post-BFP) appointment about a week later. I am 39 and very nervous about all that could still go wrong. DH and I want to wait until Thanksgiving to announce to immediate family that we're expecting, provided all goes well between now and then. (We'll announce to others closer to Christmas.) I called the office because I don't want anyone in my family to be aware of the pregnancy until we're ready to announce and was told, because she's new, she'll likely be pulling records for the first few weeks. The front desk person told me that "she would be bound by the same HIPAA regulations as everyone else in the office", but that's not my point. I do NOT want her to handle my chart. I'm not worried she'll tell anyone else; I don't want HER to find out yet. I have a call in to the office manager to see if she can pull the chart the day before my appointment to keep the family member away from it, but I'm not hopeful at this point. Also, I was hoping to have my DH at that first appointment, but it looks like if the office manager can pull my chart, he'll have to skip the first appointment. I don't see how we can sneak him through without her finding out. Minor stuff in the grand scheme, but it's not going according to my plan, which is disappointing.
GTKY: What is your biggest guilty pleasure? Binging on "Scandal" on Netflix - I watched most of the first 3 seasons in about 2 weeks.
