Doctor's Appointment

Today we went and saw a doctor for the first time, well pregnancy doctor that is. The best doctors appointment since we've been in St. Louis. We've been to about 3 other doctors and its been really hard to try to figure out insurance stuff and try to make doctor's appointments at the same time. Its just been one huge mess. And the only thing the doctors at the past appointments would do is take pregnancy tests. OK, look, I may not look like it, but I'm in my 2nd trimester, having morning sickness like you wouldn't believe, have had pregnancy tests up the bazooka, definitely knowing we're having a baby! You think the doctors would understand. I hate peeing in a cup, I don't think men understand how utterly impossible it is for us.

So doctor's appointment today...Great! We have a great doctor even if she won't be our doctor for very much longer, with us moving back to Rexburg for school and all. But she really was great. She asked for a full medical history, did some tests, took blood, that was cool. Kind of like donating plasma, but way way way faster!!! She said that some insurance companies don't like doctors to do ultrasounds the first appointment, but she didn't much care, she was as excited as we were. So we did one of those heart beat ultrasounds, and I have to say, it really is as weird as it sounds in the movie. No picture, just the whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Ha ha.



And then, and then we got to go do the picture ultrasound!!! So cool. Some things were hard to make out, but you can definitely tell, the head is a head. The heartbeat was really awesome to see. It was really fast! And we got pictures! :)

Quite a fantastic day!!
