First Dr. Appointment

Well, we just got back from our first dr. appointment. It was pretty uneventful. They just got medical history and all the fun blood work! My mom can tell you how well I love needles! They started to draw blood in my left arm and the blood flow stopped! UGH! So that means they had to try to draw from my other arm in which I thought I was going to die! The nurse kept asking if I was ok and I told her I was fine. I just didn't like needles! By the time this is over with, I will probably like needles. Since I had to go through all that torture, I treated myself to an ice cream cone and sweet tea from McDonald's! (The nurse said one caffeine is ok a day)

Our baby is due October 4. Today, I am 9 weeks and I go back to the doctor March 16th and then I will get to hear the heartbeat! The nurse said that I need to exercise 30 minutes a day and to eat plenty of carbs and protein to help with the sick feeling. One interesting thing I have found is when I eat Chick-fil-a the night before, I don't feel as sick the next morning! :) She said that I was doing really good and that there didn't seem to be any problems.

Of course Keith had to have some humor on this visit. When, we started walking in, I told Keith that I would have the baby here and he said that will work great because his route is around that area of town and that he will just stop in periodically to check in on me when I go into delivery!! I don't think so! He also couldn't believe all the pregnant women in there but I told him we are at a women's center!

Well, I better go and take in some carbs and protein and head to Mom's to eat Chicken spaghetti! I will update soon again!
