Today was our first doctors visit and it went well. When we first got there the nurse came out and said the Dr. had to go deliver a baby. So, we had to wait another 30 minutes, and we went and got some food. When we finally got back the nurse took my blood pressure and my weight. Man am I gaining some weight! When she first took my blood pressure she said it was high but then she switched arms and it lowered. She showed us to the room and she gave us a bag of treats! The bag had vitamens and books about the baby. Dr. Houssel came into the room and he made us feel very comfortable. We asked me how I felt and if we had any questions. Of course, I had TONS of questions. He then did the sonogram on my tummy to see how the baby looked. At first I thought I was going to be emotional when I saw the little guy, but I didn't I was just in aw. It's amazing seeing the little guy inside of me because I don't look pregnant. He's an inch in a half long and the doctor said that was normal. He didn't move around a lot but he's alive. :) Robert and I heard his heart beat and it sounded soo good. The doctor said it was a little fast but that it's nothing to worry about. The clinic gave us a DVD of the ultrasound and Robert is going to try and convert it so we can post it onto the internet. We will see if it works. Our next visit is August 27 @ 4:00. We can't wait to see how much he grows. Maybe we will find out the sex of the baby. :) Right after the visit I called my parents and my dad said the funniest/sweetest thing. I told him when the baby was due, which is February 23, and he said oh he'll be just like me (my dad's birthday is February 19). If any of you now my dad he thinks he's the smartest man on earth, which he is besides Robert. :) He also seems to think it's going to be a boy. He told us to start painting the walls blue. lol. I will post something again after our next appointment.
xoxoxo,
