First prenatal appointment
Friday February 13, we had our first doctor's appointment. The hospital where I work recommended Dr. Harvey. She is a female doctor who is very sweet and kind. I really like her. She did an ultrasound to measure the baby and make sure my dates were correct. I was right on! 7 weeks and 3 days. The baby looked great and everything went really well. I saw the baby's heartbeat. It was fluttering so fast. That moment really made the whole situation real!! Dr. Harvey came out and showed Tony the picture and explained everything to him. I have to tell you that Tony's theory about this appointment was that it was just a gas bubble. He said "You're going to go in there and find out it's just gas!" Well, we know that's not the case and it blew his little theory right out of the water! Our due date is October 1, 2009 and as of right now, there is only one baby in my belly!! After the appointment I went to work and I was thinking about everything. I forgot to get a copy of the ultrasound. Of course I am going to need that for scrapbooking! :) I also forgot to ask her questions about what I can and can't do, eat, etc... WOW! I wasn't prepared at all!! Our next appointment is Friday March 13. Yes, another Friday the 13th!! Monday I will get a copy of the picture and post it so you can see the little peanut!
