First Prenatal Visit

Finally! Today I had my first prenatal visit. When Andy and I got to the clinic at 8:45, we found out that my doctor had to rush to the hospital for an emergency c-section, so we had to reschedule our appointment. Luckily the doctor was able to get me in at 11:30. However, Andy had a big meeting for work from 11 to 1, so he was unable to go with me :( I was able to hear the heart beat, which was very exciting. I took a digital recorder with me to record the heart beat for Andy. The recording isn't the best, but its better than nothing. I am still having some "morning sickness", but for the most part, I am feeling pretty good. As of Sunday, I am 12 weeks, 28 more to go! I am now to the point that I will be seeing the doctor once a month, so there will be more updates to come!

Just an update

Nothing really new to report at this time. Things have been going good. No more scares, thank God. I go for my first prenatal visit on Monday. We will be able to hear the heart beat with the doppler, which will be pretty exciting. Hopefully we will have more to update on Monday.

My hCG levels

After another little scare yesterday, I went to see the doctor. They did a blood draw to compare hCG level to the first one. It was definitely good news to find out that my first level taken on 9-19 was 37,182 and my second level taken yesterday, 10-7 was 146,194. So as the nurse said on the phone, "you are very pregnant!"

Update on my pregnancy

I haven't written for awhile. Things are going pretty good, I have had some nausea, but most of all I am very tired. We are about 8.5 weeks pregnant, it will be 9 weeks on Sunday. We had some exciting news yesterday. Andy's sister, Haley and her husband Tom are in town for the weekend. We went over to Mason and Jenny's last night to see them. They shared with us that our baby is going to have a cousin. Haley is due 11 days after me (5-21-09)! They found out about 4 days after we did, but wanted to wait to tell us in person.
