It’s Real…

I think I am finally starting to believe that this is real.  I am pregnant.  We are going to have a baby!


All of this set in when at my first prenatal appointment today.  I met with the prenatal nurse this morning.  I have known her since I was a little girl; she was so excited when she saw it was me (she didn’t recognize my married name on the forms she had.)  I loved that my first appointment so personal…just chatting like old friends! 


We went over what I need to be doing and what I need to avoid to make sure this baby is as healthy as possible.  To the best of my ability, I gave her my family medical history.  I think I told her everything; I should have taken my mom with me.  You never get too old to take your mom to the doctor with you, right?  Oh well, I am sure I was able to tell the nurse enough.  🙂


My next appointment is scheduled for June 18th.  We will meet with the doctor, and I will have my first ultrasound.  Corey and I will get to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time!  I don’t want to rush things, but June 18th needs to hurry up.  Four weeks seems like a long time to wait!
