doctor visits everywhere

Can we just say HOLY COW with the doctor's visits.  It is pretty ridiculous, I do not like going to the doctor however since January of 2014 I have been over 20 times (including the hospital stay when Oliver was born).  Oliver has also been about 6-7 times. 

I am sick and tired of going to the doctor.  Seriously... I am.   I am not even going to get into the details of everything but it pretty much looks like this:

Me: OB- about 8 times (baby stuff, breast infection and plugged ducts, annual)
Regular Dr- once
Dentist- 1
Skin Dr. -twice
Digestive Dr- twice ( Oh what pregnancy does to you! Totally worth it though)
Lactation Consultants -Twice
Ultrasounds & Blood Work- 3 times
Thyroid Dr- 3 times

And I have another dentist and thyroid apt in August until then Im hoping I do not have to go anymore and I am hoping for no more plugged ducts, mastitis, or any nursing problems for that matter!! The Dr. told me to set my alarm and pump at night so I do not get plugged ducts and then pump during the day (but problem is if I pump and then he is ready to eat like 30 min-one hour later or even 2 hours later~ I am like seriously!!! I should have just not pumped in the first place.  For now I am not going to follow through with this but if I start having issues again and I think it is related to time between feedings I will do this. 

I have a great supply in the freezer right now anyways~

Oliver- Has went to the Dr. the normal amount of times plus 1 extra in his first week for a weight check, an extra because he has paranoid parents who thought he had diarrhea when he was just fine, an extra for his tongue tie (which we ended up not clipping), and an extra for his eczema! Poor baby, it is clearing up really well though and I am happy for that!!

Random Rant and now its done.
