First Ob Appointment

Today I am 8 weeks 4 days along. I went for my first OB appointment. Thank God I was feeling well this morning.

I got Emma off to school and Ethan and I headed to the doctor's office. All of the ladies there just fell in love with Ethan. He is quite the ladies man. He was so good. They gave him crayons to color with while they interviewed me and got all of my info. Then I had to go get my blood drawn, which they do right there. I have really bad veins and they ended up blowing one out and having to do it over but really I was expecting that. They always have trouble finding my veins. While I was doing that though the nurses were amazing. They took Ethan for a walk around the office and showed him all the model airplanes that the doctor builds. Of course, Ethan was in heaven. Then they gave him some peanut butter crackers and he said "thanks lady, now I go have a snack with you." And so she asked if he could have the crackers and proceeded to take him to the break room and sat and had a snack with him until I was done. He actually had three grown women in there with him! Like I said he is quite the ladies man. : ) This was such a blessing for me as I didn't have to keep tabs on him while getting jabbed with needles. : ) My arm is pretty sore right now but it's all part of the many blood tests I will be getting so I better get used to it.

I have to go back next Tuesday for my first ultrasound. WOO HOO! I can't wait. They have the 4D machine there and not only will I have one now and at 20 weeks but they also let their patients have one between 31-38 weeks to see their cute little fat baby. I can't wait because you get kind of miserable near the end and this will give me something to look forward to.

March 22nd will be the first time I see the doctor and have my exam etc. I will be almost 13 weeks by then. Crazy!

Now I am going to go look through all my free samples and take some Tylenol cause my head is pounding.

All in all it was a good visit and everyone seems very friendly so far I am very pleased.

Ultrasound pics to come next Tuesday, I can hardly wait!
