Our First OB/GYN appointment

March 20, 2009- 5 weeks



I was told our first appointment would be the longest so i decided to take a 1/2 day and have Mike pick me up at work. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and off to the doctos office. When we got there we were greeted by a nurse named Debbie. She met with us for 30 min to take a history and answer any questions we had. Then we met w/ our OB. It was a typical exam except we talked about do's and dont's of pregnancy and he answered any other questions we had. The doctor said everything seemed normal and we would need to meet again in 5 weeks. At that time he said we might get to hear the heartbeat. Our expected due date would be Novemeber 19, 2009!!!! After that we were sent to the lab for a series of typical bloodwork.



It all still seemed unreal! It was too early for any ultrasound or to hear the heartbeat. We were left with some advice and best wishes. The doctors never said we were not pregnant ... so it must be true???



We got home that night and I imediately dove into the goodie bag of magazines and articles the doctor gave us. I could finally look at baby stuff w/o feeling guilty!!
