Baby's 1st ultrasound
















My first doctors appt. was today at 2pm. I never knew that having a baby was so much paper work! I felt like I was taking the SATs again. I thought I would never get done fill out everything....even put Ben to work filling out some for me. lol I had the dreaded pap smear but was followed by an internal ultrasound.....which hello was weird since they didn't have any non latex condoms to put on the stick so she had to use a non latex GLOVE! Yes the nurse gave me the middle finger up my hoo hoo! Talk about uncomfy with my hubby watching. lol That is one experience I won't forget. When the nurse left to go look for a latex condom before the ultrasound Ben said....Condom?!?!?! What does she need a condom for! lmao.....hahahahahaha was too funny the face he made. He was also flipping out cause that was as close to his first and only pap smear he has ever had. lmao He says now I know why women don't like those and he said he was glad he never has to have one! hahahahahahaahhaha

As you can see there isn't much to see yet. Just the yolk sac and a little pea. The nurse says that we will be able to see more of the baby and the heart beat on the next visit which is in 2 weeks.....5/4/09. The nurse said I'm approx. 5 weeks and 6 days preggers according to the ultrasound give or take a few days. She also said I need to eat more than I do and drink 4-6 glasses of milk a day! After all the pregnancies my friends and family have had, drinking that much milk was never mentioned....

Did I mention I hate drinking milk? lol If I can't chug all those glasses down the nurse said I can take calcium tablets. I thought I was eating more than usual but now I have to eat like 3 meals a day plus snacks between meals. Hoping I don't get too huge! I'll be seeing the obgyn that I chose but also have to see another high risk pregnancy doctor because of my dysautonomia. They haven't had patients pregnant with dysautonomia so kinda worried....I might try and see if I can find an obgyn with experience with this disorder....I'm going to talk to my specialist about it.

At the end of my visit I received a huge goodie bag full of free stuff.....lots of magazines, formula that expires before my due date which is December 15, 2009 lol, lots of sample packs of the prenatal vitamin and a developmental pill, dates for childbirth classes and mommy and me classes, and some other stuff I can't remember right now. Anyways....this was an experience we won't forget!

He should have looked at the nurse and said "It's a little late for a condom, don't you think?"
