4.27.07

So, we have a preliminary due date: April 27, 2007. We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday and we were really excited at the possibility of hearing the baby's heartbeat. But that didn't happen. We have to wait until October 3 to do that.
But the appointment was two hours long! The midwife, Lois, who I really like, went through a million things with us. It was totally and completely overwhelming...all of the possible things that could/might go wrong. It's truly amazing that healthy babies are born at all. We have a lot of decisions to make as far as the tests we could have done....it's enough to make you freak out...and I would if I wasn't so exhausted and still battling morning sickness.
I did get a prescription for chewable prenatal vitamins, though. I hope that will be the difference.
The whole process is still so exciting and Lois said that I was such a normal case that I could choose whether to stay with the midwives or choose the doctor path. We really hit it off with Lois, so we've decided to stay with the midwives....I mean, she actually called me slender, which made her my new best friend of course!!!
