Whew, today went fantastic at the doctors!!! They were so much nicer, the ladies were all so friendly and they gave me this packet of papers and a cute little weekly calendar with 3D images for each week :). What a difference an office can make.
Well, I'm officially 9 weeks, 1 day. Apparently I've been calculating a day off :). She attempted to find the heartbeat with a hand held doppler (even though I'm only 9 weeks and not in the classification as "tiny"). She was too cute, she said to me "normally I don't even try this till about 10 weeks but you're pretty skinny so we'll give it a shot!" Talk about making my day by calling me skinny :). However, no luck...she thought she had it then poof.
Anywho, I get to go back a week from today for an actual ultrasound to see the heartbeat and to verify due date. So excited. I've a genetic thingy (you'd think that some doctor along the way would have told me before now?) that they'll need to monitor as I progress but should have no problems. Just need to keep an eye out for pre-term labor towards the end is all.
Hopefully all 4 freaking vials of blood they drew were well worth it and turn up well b/c my arm has never hurt as bad from having blood drawn as it does today. Sigh, after a long day of driving around to get things done and ending w/ the OB appointment I'm pooped. Gonna finish some laundry and pack a bag for this weekend at the in-laws. Then time for a little relaxation!
