Now Entering Parenthood...

We had our first doctor’s visit today (as in we met the real doctor, not the nurse practioner).  First… the disappointments…

• Had to wait forever
• No ultrasound, no heartbeat, but I got the doc to promise next time
• Doctor still thinks my due date is end of December, not early mid January (like I think)… she says my uterus feels about 9-10 weeks?

Okay, now the nice things…

I think we really like our doctor.  It’s kinda like a “first date” so it’s hard to tell, but I can tell you what we did like.  She entered with a great big smile, and made sure to ask “how are you doing? how are you feeling?” after just about every thing she did.  She made small talk about the big summer blockbusters.  She told me how the visit was going to go before we began anything, and when it came time for questions… she told us this…

She’s laid back.  She’s the type of doctor who likes to chat and make us comfortable, when others are just business.  We have enough to worry about, she’s gonna try to not give us any more.  If we need more attention, just tell her.  If we have any concerns, just tell her.

I also liked how after going through my medical chart with me, and revealing that we are clear and good on all our blood tests, and that we are also absolutely positively pregnant… she said, “You know what that means… means we’re cooking with gas.”

My body is healthy, and my uterus is nice and big.  I hope that means I’m just a little off on my dating, and not that I’m having twins!! Oh boy! Guess I’ll find out soon enough.
