First Visit to the Doctor

Wayne and I had our first doctor appointment yesterday. I was told that we'd have our first ultrasound, which made me ABSOLUTELY excited! We got up, dressed, and headed to the office early, so we wouldn't have to wait.....

And wait we did!!!! The appointment was for 930am, and I've never had to wait for my annual exam, so I told Wayne, "Let's get there early, so we'll get in earlier." HAHAHAHAHA....not happening. They weighed me, then I had to get blood drawn and give a "sample" for tests. We were escorted into Dr. S's office, and then asked 500 questions about medical history, where we wanted to deliver, blah-blah-blah. Then they went to check the ultrasound room; occupied.

She came back and told us that we could wait in the dr's office or go back into the waiting area....we waited almost an HOUR!

But it was all worth it....got into my gown, up on the table, and then we saw the MOST WONDERFUL thing in the world; as the doctor moved the wand of the ultrasound machine around, a little clear sac appeared, and in that sac, you could see a little "bean" and a "swooshing" (that was the heart pumping blood)....we have a picture, but it's not great. The first picture he showed up on the monitor was sooo much clearer that the one he gave us. I'm also sick with a cold, so I don't feel like scanning it to put up yet (but I'll get on that soon).

As I'm typing, our refrigerator is FINALLY being worked on (after THREE WEEKS); I'm praying that it works after this, or I may become that crazed pregnant lady and go postal on someone. I'd like to think I can survive in the woods, but when I'm in my OWN home, I want a fridge to keep leftovers and "good for the baby" foods! I don't remember the last time I got to cook something worth a flip!

Anyway, I hope that everyone had a GREAT holiday, Happy New Year!!!! Check back soon~
OH, and by the way, we're 6 1/2 weeks along ;)
