Here I am..Baby!

Today I am writing to you...announcing that I am 12 weeks 5 days pregnant.


We had our first official ultrasound and checkup today. Our appointment was supposed to be at 8:45..we walked in the same time that the secretary was coming into the building..we got to come in the door as she just turned the lights on. We did not get into the room until a little after 10am. The room was filling up quite nicely and the doctor was still nowhere insight. It is extremely ironic that we are the first app of the day and the doctor is already running late. After I was weighed and put in the room..we waited another 10 mins until the doctor arrived.

We did not really know what to expect. Sooo we were asked a bunch of regular medical questions that are protocol in the situation we are in. Then we asked him a bit of info and got to see the baby using a doppler for the very first time. We did not get to hear the hearbeat however..I am really not quite sure why...but anyways..hopefully next time. We got to see the baby...it was interesting tho..it was upside down...head at one end facing downwards and the feet at the other. We are hoping to get better pics next time.

After we got our pic and got our millions of sheets for bloodwork requisitions..we made our way to the lab downstairs. I had to get a glucose drink test done...seeing as I was on 3 metformin a day for my PCOS before I got pregnant..he wanted to take the proper precautions early on in the game..to make sure everything is alright. I handed in the sheets and did my urine sample to check and see if I have another bladder infection. I had to drink this solution that looked and tasted like that orange MacDonalds drink they used to give us as kids..but it was not fizzy at all..kinda made your throat feel all tingly. I had to sit for an hour and then get bloodwork done directly after. I had 5 viles of blood taken. My arm actually kinda hurts today after that. I asked for one of the ladies specifically since the last time I got bloodwork done I ended up coming out of there with 3 holes in my arm for one vile of blood.

We ended up leaving the alexander building after 11am..we definitely got our parking money's worth consider we were there at around 8:35am.
After that we went home to meet holly..let our fellow fb friends know and went off to get some groceries..my work schedule next week and show some ppl at work the new pic.

My next app is in 4 weeks. I will be in my 16th week..so look forward to hearing another update around July 27th. We are now starting to feel like this is more real and exciting..If I do not hear the heartbeat next time..I might be a little mad at the doctor. I will make sure to post a new pic if we get a better look at our little one and maybe even some belly pics.

So far the doctor is really happy about the size and how everything is looking..we hope to have more info next time aswell. Our journey is becoming a heartbeat closer every day!

Here is a pic of our baby to be..it is an acrobat already and being stubborn about getting its picture taken like my husband Doug!!!
