I had my first real OBGYN doctor's appointment yesterday and all went great! I had to switch doctors since mine only delivered at Southern Maryland Hospital and (since I live in La Plata), wanted to have the baby at Civista. SO, thanks to some great references from friends I switched to Dr. Barry Aron. I was scared about going to see a new doctor, but as soon as I walked in the door I was at ease. The waiting room was cozy and comfy, the staff was extremely friendly and Dr. Aron was so nice, informative, through and just made me feel so comfortable. They gave me a goodie bag full of prenatal samples and literature... now I'm so confused as which prenatals to take! For the past few weeks, I've been taking Prenatal Plus and a generic DHA supplement but now I'm wondering if I should switch to one of the new samples I've been given... decisions, decisions.
My mom and Donald went with me for our first sono to see the blob and the heartbeat :) Come to find out.. my due date is February 7th (ahem, for those of you who don't know.. this is my birthday).. what are the odds?! I just can't get over that.. out of 365 days, I get pregnant with a due date on my birthday, crazy. What a wonderful birthday present we get to look forward to!!!
My current symptoms haven't varied much from the last post, I'm tired frequently, sore, having some crazy and rememberable dreams, irritable, sometime nauseous but haven't gotten sick (yet), been going to the bathroom a lot more frequently, and I seem to be getting a headache behind one of my eyes everyday lately and its really annoying. I've also noticed that my pants/shorts are fitting a little snug, as if I'm "bloated", I thought this is a little early for this, but I'm hearing its normal. I sure hope so. I'm praying that I won't get any "morning sickness" since I've been okay here so far.
We have thought of names already ;) For a girl = Claudia Lynn. For a boy = Shane *something* lol, still undecided on the middle name there.
This past weekend we spend with my family at the beach house in Calvert County, here are just a few quick pictures:
