This was the day of my first dr appt. I was so excited. It seemed like I had been waiting on this day forever. 10 am I asked Wayne if he was ready to leave for the 10:30 appt. He looked at me like I didn't know what I was talking about. He said "The appts not till 2:30" Wrong it was in 30 minutes. So I had to leave without him cause he had to finish working on a car. He DID make it in time. His wait wasn't as long in the waiting room as mine. I'm sure he liked that.
Then we got called back. The nurse asked lots of questions and did the exam. NOW what I have been waiting for THE HEART BEAT!!! She informed us since we were just 10 weeks there was a possiblity we might not hear it, but she would try. She tried for what seemed like FOREVER. But NOTHING. I started to get nervous. Wayne was giving me great support. I tried to not stress.
The nurse took us to make the next appt while she tried to get us squeezed in for a sono to make sure everything was ok. Then we waited in the waiting room. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Wayne was getting so impatient. I told him he could go, but was so glad he didn't leave me. Then they called my name.
Time for the sono. Right away she found the baby and the heart beat. Then I could breathe again. We got this cute picture of our baby. Heart rate was 176 beats. WOW that is fast Branden's was down in the 140s. MAYBE.....it will be a girl!!! :)
Now back to the waiting room. Wayne left to go back to work since he had been gone for so long and I stayed to finish up all the fun stuff.
Next stop financial area. The had me sign my life away and my bank acct.
And AGAIN back to the waiting room. One LAST stop. Blood work. That was quick. She did take FIVE tubes of blood, then she wrapped up the wound and sent me on my way.
NOW another month till I go back. Hope that appt goes much smoother and faster.
ahhh!! Glad your appointment went well. I'm hoping the baby is a girl too! Here's to an easy pregnancy!
