1st Dr. Appointment

March 23, 2012

It was a cold, rainy and very very foggy Friday morning. The trip to St. Louis seemed like forever, but it was the trip I have been waiting for my whole life.  It was the day that the doctor was going to tell me that I was going to be a mommy. ; )

I had to wait a whole two long long weeks before I got in to see the doctor.  Even though I took 8 test, which all showed up positive of course, I still needed that confirmation from the Dr.  When the Nurse Practitioner came into the room and said “Congratulations, you guys are pregnant!” I just looked over at Jake and smiled from ear to ear.  The news I just heard wasn’t anything new, but it made me feel so much better to hear it from them.

Besides all the pain and me almost passing out (literally) from them sucking all the blood out of my body the visit went great!  As the lady kept filling up the tubes with blood, I kept getting paler and paler and sweatier and sweatier. Then my hearing went out. Jake said “I think we need to lie her down.” Right after my hearing went out, which means I’ll be out any second, I laid down, drank some water and then started feeling better immediately.  I don’t do well with blood, or needles. : O Jake was so supportive and sweet though, but DUH! I love that lil daddy.

We got sent home with a bag full of goodies.  A lot of information on the baby, some coupons, some magazines….I get so excited about that kind of stuff.  It was an exciting day! We called our family, who already knew about the baby, and told them the good news! Everyones reactions were about the same, “well, duh, you took 8 test!” haha ; ) We couldn’t be more excited though. We talked about peanut the whole way home.

The last two weeks have been the best days of my life, but also the scariest.  I never knew I would worry/love/care so much about something the size of sweet pea, but I do.  Every little thing I do, eat, every little move has me worried for our lil’ peanut’s sake.

The second you see that  positive pregnancy test is the moment you become a mom and start worrying.
All I can do now is take care of myself and pray. We get to hear the heartbeat in two weeks!! Words can’t describe how excited and impatient I am ; )


Love you Peanut!
