Baby Update #1

I had my first DR.'s appointment yesterday and it went well! The girl that takes your blood pressure and stuff (I don't know what they are called but I know they are not nurses...Meg, help me out) tried to find the heartbeat of the baby, but couldn't find it. My DR. said not to worry because it was still early in the pregnancy and after he did the wonderful exam we all love, he said everything looks great. With my other pregnancies, they were able to find the heartbeat with no problem, so of course I was a little worried. They had me take a urine sample when I first got there and then sent me downstairs to the lab for blood work. Of course they wanted a urine sample too, so I had to sit out in the lobby and chug a bottle of water so I could do it. I've gotten so used to being pricked that getting my blood taken doesn't faze me anymore and I even watched this time! Although this appointment was pretty uneventful, I am scheduled for an ultrasound on the 29th to confirm how far long I am and to measure the baby. By the way, I'm 12 weeks today! I even received the wonderful gift bag you get on your first OB appointment. Seeing how it's my third one, I haven't even opened the bag yet to see what I got. I'm assuming it's all the same 'ole samples and brochures and books on expecting a baby. Can't wait for my next appointment!
