Visit with the Nurse

Yesterday we had our first visit with the nurse at my OB/GYN's office. She was interesting, but very informative! I know what I'm going to be doing for the next 7 1/2 months...and even have schedule 2 more u/s! One is next Thursday, this is our "dating" u/s. They do one to see if our EDD (estimated due date) is correct by the size of the baby. (I'm so spoiled, as this will be my 3rd u/s in 3 weeks!) Under normal circumstances this would be my first u/s...I'm just lucky! Then the other u/s we scheduled is for around 19 weeks where they make sure the baby's growing and things are on track, and we get to find out what it is! :) That'll be in April! Can't wait for that! We found out we'll be delivering at Highland Hospital, we're going to look in to Childbirth classes, and get "the tour"! After our fun meeting, I went for the massive blood work that you do at the beginning of your pregnancy. NINE VIALS of blood! EEK! Hopefully that's it for awhile! Having these appts, and seeing the little bean in the u/s makes everything more real! I can't wait to actually FEEL it though. That'll be the most precious!
