First Prenatal Visits

Thursday, January 03, 2008

2nd prenatal visit: We walked in and what do you know, Tracy Norris is sitting their. Ends up she and Mike are expecting too. And, her due date is 3 or 4 days after mine. That is so exciting and so cool. So, the nurse calls us back, and who do we see?!?!? Tracy Rollins. Big difference from the first prenatal visit. No exam and unfortunately no sonogram. Sajid and I were a little worried about the baby just b/c all my symptoms were gone and I felt normal. Dr. Brown rubbed the jelly on me and was able to find the baby's heart beat. It was between 162 and 167. He said everything was fine. And, that I should count my blessings b/c many women suffer from a great deal of uncomfortable conditions. And, that was it. We were sent on our way. Next appointment is Jan 31st.

Our first doctor's appointment together. We had no idea what to expect. I had a regular exam. Then, I had my first ultra sound. Sajid, poor thing. He had no idea what he was in for. But he did good. We were able to see the fetus. It looked like a little thumping blob. Dr. Brown determined that I was only about 7 weeks pregnant rather than 11 weeks pregnant like originally thought. So, my due changed from June 26, 2008 to July 22, 2008. Oh, the Heat!!!

I went to my doctor's appointment. It was confirmed; I am pregnant. I was so excited. Still a little in disbelief. If you knew mine and Sajid's intimate schedule. You know what I was talking about. Just as we were certain we'd never get pregnant, the Lord reminded us that He's in control. It was time for us to begin our family. It was just truly a blessing sent from God. Tentative due date is June 26, 2008 - Anna's Birthday. How ironic. Tentative b/c I have no idea when my last period was. September 19th is what we're going by. We'll know a more definite due date at our next doctor's visit at which time they'll do a sonogram. Yay!!! How exciting! So, I went to the store and bought a pair of baby socks that have 'I Love Daddy' written on them. I gave them to him that night. It was really funny because his first thought was that they from our kitties, Sophie and Clara. Once he realized that the socks were not from our kitties, but my way of letting him know we were with child, he was completely speechless. He couldn't believe it either. But he was super excited.

Became suspicious that I may be pregnant. I kept waiting to start my period, and even though, I wasn't exactly sure when my last period was, I felt certain that I was late. So, I called my friend and co-worker, Rachel Sullivan, and asked could come to the university clinic for a (free) pregnancy test. The first one she we did, she wasn't so sure about how to read it. So, we did another one. And sure enough, it read "pregnant"! I really didn't know what to think. I was super excited and could believe it. So, I immediately drove to the doctor's office, and they scheduled me an appointment for the very next day. It was so hard not telling anyone, especially Sajid. But, I didn't say anything.
