(Kinda)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Today, I had my first appointment at the ob-gyn’s office.\u00a0 I won’t actually see the doctor until Tuesday, hence the “kinda” in the title.\u00a0 It still feels really surreal.<\/p>\n

I was called back about 10-15 minutes late.\u00a0 I was a little nervous because I didn’t block off my whole work day, but I did give myself a buffer if things took longer than the hour I was told to expect.\u00a0 I was actually done in less than an hour, so everything worked out fine.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

First I met with Joy to talk about finances.\u00a0 Fun times.\u00a0 Can’t wait to see what my insurance will actually pay.\u00a0 There were times when I questioned my insurance agent when I was selecting a plan, so I hope my secondary insurance works out okay.<\/p>\n

Next I met with Lisa, a nurse (I assume).\u00a0 She took my history and gave me a lot of general information.\u00a0 I have homework!\u00a0 See?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She said my due date would probably be February 27.<\/p>\n

Fun part of our time with Lisa:\u00a0 She asked if the father was going to be in the room during delivery.\u00a0 I said yes before Pete had a chance to respond (he was there).\u00a0 Heheh.\u00a0 Pete joked around that he would be there until I start throwing things at him.\u00a0 Lisa added something about squeezing his hand too hard.\u00a0 We all joked around some more, and I pointed out the fact that Pete does<\/em>, in fact, have two hands.\u00a0 (Since he obviously has a spare, I don’t see where there’s a problem.)\u00a0 =)\u00a0 Lisa thought this was hilarious, and I guess I made her day.\u00a0 I think she’s going to tell that story all over the office! XD\u00a0 Haha, was it that funny?<\/p>\n

Next<\/em>, I got to have my blood drawn!\u00a0 I knew this was coming, and I’m not really squeamish about needles.\u00a0 However,<\/em> when I watched Amy (Amy?) count the vials as she laid them on the table, I got a little less excited.\u00a0 I watched her count: One, two, three, four, five.<\/em> Five?\u00a0 You need that much?\u00a0 How many tests are you running?\u00a0 O_O Before she ever got started, she asked me if I ever passed out.\u00a0 Um, no?\u00a0 Am I supposed to start now?\u00a0 Halfway through, she asked me if I was doing okay.\u00a0 I told her I was fine.\u00a0 She was actually quite good at her job.\u00a0 It’s always nice when the phlebotomist is good at her job.<\/p>\n

Now I have Tuesday to look forward to.\u00a0 Still doesn’t feel real.\u00a0 I still feel like I shouldn’t allow myself to get too excited yet.\u00a0 But it is getting harder to suppress. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
