My First Appointment

Tuesday, June 24th finally came! I was SO very excited!! My appointment was at 4 p.m. Little did I know I would be there for almost 2 hours! We (John and I) were asked a few questions by one of the nurses and then after that, we had to wait in the room for 45 minutes. I was going crazy! I couldn't wait to see my baby on the screen and waiting 45 minutes was definitely unexpected. Once the doctor came in, it was wonderful. I cried when I saw my baby on the screen. I knew I probably would, but once I saw my baby, I felt so much love inside of me. It was amazing. It was nice to finally have my first appointment and get the ball rolling. My next appointment is July 22nd and by that time, I'll be 11 1/2 weeks --- almost 3 months! The only bad part about my appointment was that my doctor told me I need to take a blood test. That's not necessarily the bad part, though; I had to have NINE tubes of blood taken!! I don't mind having blood tests, but NINE tubes? Holy smokes! Luckily, for all of the subsequent blood tests, only 2 tubes of blood need to be taken. Now that I have caught you all up on my pregnancy so far, I can catch you up on my cravings and how I'm feeling!
