Went to Tammy's office today (my nurse/midwife) and had all the wonderful prenatal tests done. I first had a urinalysis (all negative) and they gave me another pregnancy test- It was CLEARLY positive. The nurse checked my weight and asked me 100's of questions about medical/family history. Nurse then drew lots of vials of blood to check for everything under the sun. After that I talked with Tammy in her office about future appointments and what to expect in the upcoming months. Then I had a physical exam, including a pap. I told her since I am so use to going to Dr. so often and now that my appointments are farther apart I just need reassurance from her I am still pregnant... She told me that because of my past with infertility I will be getting a little extra special treatment like extra appointments and sonograms (Fine by me!!) She treats me like this is the one and only chance I will be pregnant but she said that is usually not the case. After my exam she said she was going to see if we can hear the heartbeat on the doppler. Tammy said since I am only 9 weeks today it may be difficult to hear but she will give it a try. Well, she was searching and searching and she was about to give up when we heard it! The baby's heartbeat was so much faster than mine and the relief I felt made me instantly choke up. I wish Scott was there to hear it but I know he will get to hear it eventually.
i have a sonogram scheduled for May 5th and my 4 week OB appointment on May 22nd. I still in shock I think! Still. It will sink in sooner or later!!! My mind is at ease but will be even more on May 5th when I can see my bean! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
