First Appointment

Well, I had the first appointment today. I've waited and waited for it.....and it was basically NOTHING!

I got asked a hundred questions about my health, Chris' health, my parents, grandparents, cousins, everyone that may be related to me or my husband's health..........

Oh - I peed in a cup and they said all my "levels" look good and I'm pregnant. SURPRISE! ; )

No "exams", no heartbeat detecting, no ultrasound - just question after question after question.

Oh - I got to ask my questions too -at on point I said "I'm sorry - but I'm sure you get these types of questions all the time (I had a LONG list)" and she replied "Actually, no, most people don't come in prepared at all." She went on to say that I was refreshing - that she'd never seen someone so prepared and so knowledgeable for their first pregnancy. When she gave me my packet of reading materials she told me she isn't even going to lecture me on how I should read all the materials before my next appointment - she said she was sure I'd do it before I went to bed that night! I told her it must be the auditor coming out in me : )

Anyway - after the lovely questioning session I headed to the hospital where I got a couple gallons (may be a SLIGHT exaggeration) of blood drawn....then back to work.

My next appointment is December 9th. I'll be 11 weeks and she said I'll be able to hear the heartbeat at this appointment!

Oh - and I was right on with my due date - I actually told her before she told me! It's June 29th. Today I am 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant.

When do you all think I should share this blog with my "normal" blog readers?!?!
