OB Appointment

So today was my first appointment. I am very comfortable with my new doctor, she made me feel really comfortable. That was pretty important as the first time I met her and shook her hand I was practically naked sitting on the exam table. Awkward for a split second but she was really nice.

Troy was with me and she talked to him for awhile. She quickly recognized he was military and was asking if he would be here or not throughout the pregnancy. Uh...yeah =) If for some reason he could not, we would be making arrangements with the Red Cross to track him down to inform him when the baby was born.

She did an ultrasound to check out the baby...yes, there is only one! She measured for size and I was measuring small so she said she wanted to see me back in a week. We got a couple pictures, but I need to scan them.

Then......she sent me away to have my blood drawn. It's pretty unnerving when nobody can find a vein anywhere yet Troy's veins on his foot pop up like a half an inch!! So unfair. Anyway, the girl took a gamble and she got it on the first try. Thank God. I was okay for the most part. It felt like it took forever for them to fill up 4 tubes! I asked them for some water and they gave me hot water out of a fountain so next time I need to remember to bring my own.

Next appointment is Thursday the 14th!
