My First Doctor's Appointment (Aug. 13, 2009)

Today, I went to the doctor for the first time. I had made a call on the 3rd to tell the doctor that I thought I was pregnant and to make an appointment. The nurse I spoke to on the phone told me that if the test I took was positive, then it would be positive when I came in to their office. I still wanted to hear from them that I was pregnant. It just felt too hard to believe. We planned it, and it happened. Could it be so simple?


When I got to the doctor's office that afternoon on the 13th, I met with the nurse. I didn't actually see the doctor at all. The nurse and I discussed family history as she filled out some papers. It seemed like she asked me a million questions for my file, but I was happy to answer. I was just so excited. I then went to another room where I had my first ultrasound. The tech helped to explain what I was looking at since all I could see where two round shapes in a larger white circle. The larger of the two shapes was the baby and the smaller was called the "yolk sack." I wasn't quite sure what the yolk sack was or is, but it was funny to see the baby. It didn't look anything like a baby, but I was happy that it was there. It was my proof that Dennis and I were going to have a baby. It was the cutest, sweetest and most wonderful little round clump that I had ever seen! :)
