8 weeks and the longest dr's appt. ever!!



Today was my first doctor's appointment.  All went well and I knew it was gonna be a long one but jeez!!  I got there at 12:40 and didn't leave until about 3:40. Don't they know that I'm impatient?? :) Since my appt. was at 1, I decided to go to work for half a day.  All I could think about was seeing this baby and making sure it was ok.  As you can see from the pic above, there really is a baby in there!  As most of you know, Keith has been off since August.  He finally gets to go back to work but they chose TODAY to be the day.  I know, I know...I should be happy that he has a job now.  I am, but couldn't they have waited one more day??? :) I really wanted him to be there.  Although, he probably would have wanted to murder me by the time we left...so maybe it was a good thing he didn't get to go.  God sure is smart. Words can't describe the feeling that I had when I saw this baby for the first time. I was so happy to see the little heartbeat going a hundred miles an hour. It's pretty surreal.  I mean, I've heard a hundred people say the same thing but it's just not the same until it's happening to you.  I wasn't really nervous the whole time...until they took me to the lab!  I am ridiculously afraid of needles.  I've gotten better over the years.  No one has to hold me down anymore. :)  But still!  I had to watch the person in front of me get 8 vials of blood drawn.  8!  As soon as I sat in the chair I told her that she was not allowed to take 8 vials from me!  She laughed and said that I only had to have 4. "Sigh".  I guess it's time for me to get over this fear of pain thing since I'm going to have to give birth. :)  My due date is June 14.  I told my principal that I was pregnant today and he thanked me for waiting until school was out. :)  That's all for now.  Stay tuned for more pregnancy fun!!!

  4. There is something so solidifying about seeing your little baby on that screen for the first time then being able to hear its heart beat and know that all is okay. Even the second time around we both were nervous until we got to see and hear for ourselves. I am so so so so happy for you two!
