Today was our first doctors appointment. As soon as I got there, they took another urine sample to re-confirm the positive test results. I was a bit nervous actually but felt relieved when the two lines appeared on their test strip. We were led into the exam room and waited for the doctor. I am quite pleased since my regular GP (Heather Jenkins) has a special interest in obstetrics and will follow me the whole way.
Once she came in, she gave me a ton of paperwork. Blood test requisitions, a req for a dating ultrasound (we had a few jokes for this one), information on genetic testing and information on pregnancy pow-wows. I'm going to complete the blood work tomorrow morning since I'm the kind if person that likes to see hard proof of what's going on in there.
I've been reading lots of books. Started the famous "what to expect" and "the mother of all pregnancy books". They are both great but my favorite by far is (with the silliest title of all time) "I'm pregnant! Canadian edition". It has real pictures of every stage, even now when it basically looks like a bunch of goop. I guess I'm still 10 years old and I need books with pictures in it to keep my attention.
I'm feeling happy and excited but still trying to keep a level head. Can't wait until I can be 100% pumped!
Now to enjoy this summer evening with my non-alcoholic cider or perhaps if I get really crazy, my non-alcoholic beer.
