First prenatal appt

So today was my first prenatal appointment. I was so nervous! I had searched and searched for a doctor and today would be our first meeting. Or so I thought. It takes us a good 15 minutes to get to my doctor's office. This is because I wanted the best and decided to pick a doctor based out of Wellington.  We finally arrived and of course the waiting game started. None of that mattered to me. I would've waited hours if I had to. I was just happy to have my family there (husband and son) to support me.

I forgot how much paperwork happens during the first appointment. They literally asked me and my husband EVERYTHING! Then came the exam and I was thinking that they would ask him to leave the room but that was not the case. It's funny because he's my husband right...and I"m pregnant ... but I still found myself blushing. Not a comfortable situation. But the nurse kept right on talking and prodding and I relaxed a little.

It went pretty smoothly. My due date that I calculated was correct so little Deuce will make his/her arrival on December 1st. If she/he is anything like his/her big brother, he/she will come right on the due date. We shall see. *fingers crossed*.

I was all prepared to get redressed and exit the room when the nurse stated that we would do an ultrasound to see the baby. I can't lie...I was so nervous! But literally 30 seconds and a deep breath later, there my little Deuce-y was. A wave of emotions came over me and a huge smile appeared on my face. I don't think I've ever been that happy. On the screen there was a little being with a thumping heart. That little heart was beating so fast! (By the way my sister swears Deuce is a girl because of the heart beating fast lol) It was then *in my Drake voice* that I knew that THIS was real. I was having a baby! A human being was growing inside of me!  Nothing even mattered after that. The printer was jammed and wouldn't print the ultrasound pictures. It didn't matter. I had hubby to whip out the cell phone and I took a picture of the screen.

I think I floated during the rest of the appointment. I remember giving a lot of blood, answering a lot of questions and laughing a little bit but it's mostly a blur. I can't tell you what I was laughing about. All I can you tell you is that I got to see my little Deuce-y for the first time and I can't wait to see him/her again.
