Sooo,

Seems I may be hearing the little heartbeat sooner than I thought. I just got a call from the OB who will be delivering and I have my first appointment with him on Monday afternoon. Maybe if I hear someting, it will take me out of denial. I mean, yes, the tests came back positive, and yes, I have been to my doctor and yes, I am slowly putting on a little weight, but it still does not seem real. Anyway, just thought you might like to know....

What's Up Doc??

So, I had my first prenatal visit with my doc yesterday, and all seems to be well. I am now 9 weeks along and feeling fine, not a stitch of morning sickness, knock on wood. She seemed to be more excited than I am....not that I'm not, just that given the circumstances, it's taking some getting used to the idea. She recommends I have an amniocentisis, which is a test they do by sticking a needle in my belly and drawing fluid out of the amniotic sac, and this is done to test for Down Syndrome. Because of my age(I will be 35 when I deliver) she feels it would be a good idea. Ok, she's not the one getting jabbed in the belly. But , this test can also tell you the sex of the baby, should you want to know. Part of me does and part of me doesn't want to know. I am not sure exactly when this test will be done, but I am accepting resumes for handholders....Anyway, that's about it, my next appointment is on Oct 9th, when maybe, just maybe I will hear a little heartbeat...:)

So...

...for the 2-3 of you out there who check this out once in a while, I have been gone dealing with some big news. It has taken me a while to adjust to but the fact of the matter is, I am having another baby. Somtime mid-April to be exact. I have an appointment with my family doctor on the 10th, so I will have more info then.
