First (Real) OB Appointment

Had my first appointment with the doctor today.  I was called back only about 15-20 minutes late (could be a lot worse at an OB’s office).  All my blood work came back normal, yay. =)  Found out my blood type for sure: A+  We could speculate before, but I never knew for sure.  Doctor reinforced that fatigue, sore breasts, mild cramps, and nausea are all normal.  Check, check, check…but no nausea.  Doctor reiterated that the nausea may still come within a couple of weeks.  I think she really wanted me to understand that. =P  I’m still keeping my fingers crossed, but it’ll probably happen.  Also got my Pap test, which is always fun. Side note: Forget to schedule your yearly 6 months in advance? No problem, just get yo-self pregnant. I find it’s a lot easier to get an appointment. 😉 And apparently, I actually have a good size uterus?  I suppose that can only be a good thing. =P

Next appointment: August 3, 2:00 pm.  It’s 5 weeks away instead of 4 so there’s a better chance of hearing the heartbeat.

Now to tell family…ahh!  Going to have to start telling people earlier than I would really like since I’m going to have to tell work about my schedule changes for doctor visits.  I don’t want work to find out before our parents, especially since my dad is going to be away for a while.  I’m kind of nervous/excited about it.  I might even tell them tonight!  I can’t decide on a fun, creative way to tell them.  It seems premature to give them grandma and grandpa bibs or something corny-cute like that.  So I’ll probably just come out and say it.  Our trip to Tulsa this weekend is mainly to tell Pete’s folks.  People know we’re visiting…no one knows the reason. =)  Well, that, and it’s been a few months and it’ll be good to see people.

Next update will probably be: OMG I TOLD THEEMMMMMM~!
