My First Appointment

I had my first real pregnancy appointment today! It was just with the nurse, but it was still exciting to have an appointment because I'm pregnant. She started right away with questions like will I breast or bottle feed...it's crazy that they just jump right in like that! I guess it just feels a little weird since I don't really feel very pregnant yet.

I got a bunch of information from her and she answered all my questions. They checked my weight, blood pressure, urine, and they took 4 vials of blood! My next appointment is in 4 days :) and I will have my first ultrasound then!

I feel like I'm already getting a belly. My clothes are still fitting, but it's like I don't have any extra room in them anymore. It's kinda scary, since I know I'm not really supposed to be gaining weight yet, but I'm hungry all the time! Some books even say it's not uncommon to lose weight in the first trimester...not me. I've been trying to eat healthy snacks, but it's harder than I thought it would be!

That's all for now...Oh, and my sister is having her c-section tomorrow! So I will have a new nephew in less than 24 hours!!

  1. I was thinking about you today. What a wonderful appointment. Good luck at your next appointment. I wonder if you have 2 babies in there, my Mom couldn't fit into her clothes at 6 weeks with us.
