First Dr's Visit...

Yesterday morning was my first Dr's appointment. I was so excited. I got there early and read a pregnancy book out in my car for a while. When the office opened, I was the first one in there and was handed a pile, no wait, more like a book of papers! So much paperwork. I finished all the paper work and began to wait for some amazing encounter... Someone there to be excited for me. (Who am I kidding, I was waiting for baloons to fall from the ceiling as a parade marched through to congradulate me!) No such luck. I sat... and I sat... 2 hours in the waiting room to be exact. Then I met with a nurse to discuss family mediacal histories. (She did say congradulatons, but still no ballons or parade.) After I was done with her, I sat in another waiting room for about a half hour. Then I had blood drawn, peed in a cup, got weighed, etc. Next, I was moved to an exam room. It was freezing in there as I sat in a "pretty pink paper dress." Finally, I met with my Dr. for a few minutes for the usual tests (He also congradulated me, but still no parade!). He told me that everythig looks really great, my uterus is inlarged and that is a good thing. He also wanted to get me in for my first sonogram next friday! I am so excited!! Most new momies have to wait till about 8 to 10 weeks to even be seen by a doctor. (And even longer for a sonagram.) But because of the last pregnancy, my first sonogram will be at 6 weeks!!! And finally there was my parade of excitement. As I was walking down the hall, the doctor said to me... "And next week would be a great time to bring your husband, we will be listening to the baby's heartbeat for the very first time! I can't wait!!!
