I arrived at the doctor's office at 10:40 a.m., filled out paperwork, scanned my insurance card, and waited.. and waited. Finally KATHERINE was called at 11:03 a.m. Then I got weighed. Yikes! Is it too late to start dieting? lol. Then I went back with the nurse who handed me papers on 'lab workups' I need to get done before my next visit. She asked me a bunch of history on my side of the family and Dave's. She also provided me a lil goody baggie with 'new mom' stuff, phamplets, reading materials, birth defect screening, and pre-natal samples. No I don't have cats. Yes I'm taking prenatal vitamins. No I don't eat fish. Smoking is not a habit so I'm good. I rarely drink alcohol so check there. Then the doctor, Dr. Pete Weeks or something like that was his name, came in. "So I hear congratulations are in order..." I wondered how many times he's used that cheesy line.
I confirmed the date fo my last period, average cycle length, and went over what we'd be doing today and what we'd be doing standard every month until 30 weeks! He told me based on my date of my last period.. I was due 5/9/10 +/- 2 days. I found out I'd be getting an ultrasound today TOO:) YAY!!!!!! And I didn't have to give blood today. Is it my birthday? nah.. that was yesterday. :P How'd I get so lucky? So double gift for me today. Pete told me to go pee since the internal ultrasound would detect better with an empty bladder.
I peed.. then went into the new room.. then changed.. and waited what seemed like an eternity for the doctor to come in. I was nervous, anxious, and overall just terrified there'd be no heart beat. Truth be told. Just because I saw 2 plus signs on the pregnancy tests didn't mean I was pregnant.
11:50 a.m. +/- I saw the flicker!
It's 1 baby. No twins! Nuts. I was secretly hoping for a boy and girl. Pregnancies are hard and expensive so I figured I'd be Polish and get a BOGO. :)
I smiled from ear and to ear. REAL BIG. No tears here but I was really really happy to know I'm pregnant, the baby is alive, the heart is beating, and I'm officially due 5/7/11. The baby is measuring from head-to-rump 2 cm.
Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeee'sssssssssss Georgie!

I'm lucky :)
Last week, I went out with the girls to Chevy's for some Mexican food on Wednesday. It was sooooo tasty and it was good to laugh a lot! :) It was hard keeping the secret from Becca and friends but I knew everything was still so soon to spill beans. We caught up and laughed a lot. Those girls know so much about the kardashians, reality tv, jersey shore, and all that tabloid crap. It's so much fun to just gab! :)
