11 weeks - Our First Appointment

We finally had our first pre-natal appointment on Monday. SOOOO exciting. Ryan and I both took the entire day off so that we could take our time and enjoy ourselves. Our appointment was scheduled for 9:45, so of course I begged him to stop for a jelly biscuit on the way:-)

Everything went very well. First, we got to see the ultrasound. TRULY amazing. The baby has grown so much! We saw two feet and two hands and the baby was flipping around....likely thanks to my jelly biscuit. The ultrasound also determined that I was 11 weeks and 4 days long, making my new due date 5/21/2009. Everything looked great...we were even able to see some facial features.



Following the ultrasound, we met with the OB Nurse to determine do's and don'ts, and discuss medical history. Then I met with the doctor. The only concern was my sugar level. It was slightly high, so during my next visit, we plan to do a full blown glucose test.

And the best news of all - I haven't been quite as sick this week. Horray! Hopefully I'm on my way to a peaceful 2nd trimester!
