Baby #2: First Dr.'s Appointment!

   I went to my first Dr.'s appointment this afternoon and feel like the weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Ah...and it feels so good. B2 is prefectly healthy and everything looks A-okay! Our little bean has a heart rate of 135bpm and measures 0.79 centimeters, which is only about 1/3 of an inch. I'll scan ultrasound pictures and post them for all to see!!


  Unfortunately Dr. Elliott has moved to Atlanta and will no longer be my OB. I am completely heart broken. I fell in love with her while I was pregnant with Rory and even more so after she delivered him. She was so down to earth and close to my age so I felt so comfortable with her. ;( I will now be rotating between Dr. Huff and Helton. I'm not in love with either one of them. Boo! There is a female Dr. coming in November, so maybe--just maybe, she will steal my heart.

  
   Anywho, back to B2. I have known now for exactly 3 weeks that I am pregnant. I tested positive 2 days after my period and ta-dah!! But apparently my calculation was a little off. Or really, my dang period was a little off. It came late in May (my last month having a period) so I'm not actually as far along as I thought I was. Even though I've know for 3 weeks, which should make me at least 7 weeks, due to my miscalculated period schedule, I tested two days before my period was due instead of two days after. I'm only 6w5d as of todays visit due to my miscalculation.What?!?

Those of you who have not been pregnant, don't think about it too hard. Its confusing until a doctor makes you feel stupid and explains it to you.

   I just thought I was excited before but now I can express my excitement! WooHoo! We are telling our parents this evening! Yay!

*I go back for my second Dr.'s visit for another ultrasound and bloodwork on July 27th...hoo-rah!...just 3 weeks away! :)
