The first doctor visit! March 1st~!

Some background knowledge
 It took me forever to decide on what dr to use. Also, what hospital to have my baby at. As you all know living in Columbia, there are tons of choices. I finally decided to just use my regular Obgyn, and I would deliver at Palmetto Baptist....well...guess God had different plans. Because when I called to schedule my appointment they didn't have any openings until I was 10 weeks. I felt like that was too long to wait. So after talking to many of my pregnant friends, they said it was too long. So I called a new place Carolina Women's Physicians with Lexington Medical Center and they agreed to see me at 7 weeks 5 days! I was sooo excited! I didn't have to wait. And just so we know, I was going to cancel my appt at the other place, but right before I called, they called me to cancel because they were going to do a surgery that day...so that means my 10 week appt would have been postponed even longer! So thank God I found a new Dr's office that saw me quickly and were way friendlier!!!! So yes, I do believe it's God's plan always not my plan!

On March 1st, we had our first dr's visit! We were soooo excited to go because I didn't feel pregnant. I wanted proof! My appointment was at 1 so I took a half day off from school and went to my appointment!


After getting all my paper work done, they took me back for my ultrasound! :) We got to see our little blob! It was priceless. Drew and I just looked at each other and smiled because well, we knew it was true! We were going to be parents! She told us the baby was measuring at 7 weeks 5 days, just a day shy of my own calcuations. The baby's heart rate was 160!


We then went into a waiting room where we watied to see my doctor. We waited for like 40 minutes before she finally saw us (there was an emergency she had to take care of). They did check my weight, got a urnine sample, and then I finally saw the Dr. She gave us our due date: October 13th, 2011! We were so excited. She then did a pap and got all my blood work done! It took forever but we finally made it out of there 2.5 hours later!


Below is our Baby Blessing's first ultrasound pics! We were so excited!!!!!!!!!!
