Peanut

Yesterday was my first OB appointment. I loved my doc last time, she was amazing. But, because of a change in insurance, I had to switch. So I was meeting my new doc for the first time. Two of my friends have recently had babies and they both used her and loved her.

After waiting a few minutes in the lobby they called me back, weighed me(I haven't gained one pound yet!), took my bp, had me pee in a cup, then gave me the wonderful paper 'gown' to put on. After waiting for a while in the drafty room my doc, Dr. S, came in. I love her!! She is so nice. She does everything possible to be there for her patients the whole pregnancy through. (Leann told me Dr. S even cancelled a trip to visit family because she knew Leann was so close to labor!) Anyway, she told me that it was unlikely we would hear the heartbeat since I'm only 10 weeks and 2 days along and the earliest she's heard it has been 11 weeks. I told her that we heard Kayden's at 10 weeks so she said she was more than happy to try. And guess what...we heard it!!! She was impressed, it's a strong baby!!

She had me schedule an ultrasound for the next day (today) to check dates. It's all so real now! It just looks like a little peanut but it was moving all around and waving it's arms. So cute! It's only about 2 inches long but we saw the heart and arm. The ultrasound tech said it looks very healthy! (The head's on the left and you can see a little hand on top)

So I'm feeling ok. Still sicker than last time but I'm ok. I've already upgraded to my fat pants. I still fit in my skinny jeans just fine but the tightness is uncomfortable. So now I'm walking around hoping my pants don't fall down. But I'm comfy!!
