We had our first OB appointment yesterday. They brought me back for blood work, urine, blood pressure and weight (which I think their scale is WAY off....just sayin' - HA). Grab the hubs and start heading to the room - when I was then informed they were going to do a pap....awesome! I do as I'm told and get undressed from the waist down and look at the hubs who is just staring at the counter.....
Hubs: 'what is all that stuff for?'
Me: 'oh, you'll see!' hahah
Our doctor comes in and she is so thrilled that we are finally preggers and so begins the conversation. We went over everything from diet, exercise all the way to delivery methods. Due to my previous surgery (thank you again Dr. F*** Face) there are complications with both normal delivery and c-section. As we went over what those would be I just stopped her and said all I cared about was what was the safest way. If I get another scar, big deal.....seriously 3 on my stomach now, what is one more right? Then she tells me we aren't doing a pap so she wasn't sure why I was told we were.....awesome, sitting there butt naked for no reason! HA
She tried to see if she could hear the heartbeat (told me the chances were low because it was too early) so I asked for an u/s! I had to make sure everything was okay. I had to know Amelia was still with us - yes we have her name picked out :)
We were able to get in for an u/s right after lunch and I was over the moon thrilled. She laid me down and asked to just pull my pants down a tiny bit - as I was ready to rip them off again....laughed at myself for being so used to dropping my drawers every time I walk into a doctor's office!
And there she was - nice strong heartbeat and measuring a couple days ahead from the last time. The tech zoomed in and we were able to see her wiggle. It was one of the most amazing things to see, I couldn't help but tear up. We've been through hell and back and to be able to see that, was amazing. Even though she still has a tail, she's starting to look a little bit more like a human.
The hubs was so cute with his big smile on his face and saying how cool it was to see her move like that so early on - kept asking me later that night if I could feel her kick :) love that man so much!
Our next venture is Monday when I go in for the Maternit21 testing - we chose to do this basically so all parties are prepared if God has something planned for us. That and I felt way more comfortable knowing it was strictly blood work.
Now just going to relax and enjoy every day - even if it starts off face first in the toilet :)
