1st Doctor's Appointment

Andrew and I went to the doctor today! I was a complete nervous wreck all day but I think I did a pretty good job containing it! We got to the doctor at 2 and they took us right back to do our ultrasound. We went in and the lady told me to get undressed. I laid down on the table thinking please let it be there, please let it be there. She stuck the thing in and went a little to the right and there it was! Our little peanut. We got to look at it for a couple minutes and listen to the heart beat. It was so amazing! It sounded like galloping horses. I even saw the heart going up in down in what will be the baby's chest! The ultrasound tech said it was a very strong heart beat! I was one of those things that makes you think that there is no way this is real but it is all at the same time.





After we got done with the ultrasound I went to go have my weight and blood pressure checked. All looked good the I had blood drawn which I hate! My veins just suck! After she finally found a vein the blood started coming out and then it just stopped so she had to move it around to make it bleed again which hurt. But five minutes later it was finally done. After they they sent me out to the waiting room to wait on the girl to take our history. Thirty minutes later she finally got to us we went back and talked about the things that had happened to me and anything in Andrew and I's family history. Then she gave me some prenatal samples and The What to Expect Book and some pamphlets and a magazine.

She then sent us back out to the waiting room to wait for Dr. Barnes. We waited and waited and waited some more and then FINALLY and hour later they called us back. He told us I was 7 weeks 6 days and that I am due Dec. 4th! We talked about any questions we might have. He then did my physical to make sure everything was ok and told me that I was definitely growing. Today made this whole thing so much more real for me! Our next appt. has been scheduled for May 21st which will put me at around 12 weeks. So I am looking forward to it!
