So we had our appointment on Oct 10th. The lady I spoke with to set up the appointment gave me directions to where we had to go. We get there, and we are at the wrong building. By the time we got to the right building we were 15min late at this point and they had to reschedule. For the next day. But, I was sooooooo upset. I cried and cried. I just felt like this meant everything was pushed back even further and we had to wait that much longer. That was a bad day, emotionally. I was a mess lol I slept most of that day. The next day we go early to make sure we are not late. We stopped to eat at Perkins. It was delish! Then headed off to our appointment. We met with the nurse and talked about doctors vs midwife, eating habits, etc.
We chose to go with a midwife. In their office there are about 5 or 6 of them. And I guess we will meet with all of them at least once for our appointments. It is supposed to be a much more personal experience. We are happy with our choice. :)
I've still only gained 3lbs. She asked about my eating habits and working out. She said I should be eating 6 small meals a day. But said it looks like I'm having a normal pregnancy thus far.
We got to listen to the baby's heart beat. It was beating in the 150's :) She said my uterus is high, its like right below my belly button. You can feel it.
So we go back November 8th to find out what we are having :) I hope it goes by fast :) :) :) :)
