Our first doctor’s visit was today. Must admit it was kind of a let down. We only saw and talked to a nurse, and she was really nice and helpful but it was pretty much your standard intro appointment. We have to wait for the appointment with the actual OB to have the first ultra sound and actually see the baby. Which I understand, but gee, don’t they understand how hard it is to wait??!!!!! Thankfully we only have to wait a week, but still!!!!
Anyway, she went over my health history, symptoms, what to expect, etc… By going over my last several cycles she thought they were regular enough to use my last period as a starting point for a due date (we had thought they weren’t regular enough to use). So…. I am exactly 12 weeks along today and the baby is due on January 13th. Way further along than I had thought, of course I’m the one who didn’t think I was pregnant at all. The way they count how far along you are is weird, they start week one on the date of your last period. Even if you’re super regular person you won’t ovulate and be able to get pregnant for 2 weeks! It’s bizarre.
Our appointment with the OB is next Monday. Can’t wait to see the little one!
Oh yeah, I remember that first nurse visit w/Bryce. It will all be worth it when you see/hear the heartbeat at the ultrasound; it’s amazing.
Do you plan to find out the sex ahead of time if you have the opportunity? (Usually around 20wks, I believe)
I can’t usually wait until my birthday or Christmas to open presents and you think there’s a possibility I could wait the entire pregnancy to find out the sex? I don’t think so! Lol! We definitely want to know.
Of course right now we just really want to see it!
Congratulations to you both! I send my best wishes for a smooth pregnancy. I must say, things are looking very fertile at your place.
