1st Doctors appointment down...

Ok, so I had my first appointment with my midwife today. I really liked the midwife I had today, but I am not under her care individually. I believe she said that there were 4 midwifes at the office and I will be under all of their care. It was a LONG appointment but it was the first and they needed to take all my history and such. It was nice because I was able to get to know the staff and the office a bit better while I was there.

Aidan spent the night last night at John's parents so that I would only have to worry about myself and getting myself ready for my appointment. It was also good that he wasn't there since they did all the girly things that need to be done at the first appointment anyway. He doesn't need to be seeing any of that any time soon. I don't have to worry about that until later on in the pregnancy thankfully.

As I was walking back to the room with the nurse she was asking why I didn't bring him with me. She said that the staff LOVES to see the kiddos and that they are pretty open to having your kiddos there. At my old office, I always felt (even for my 6-week post-delivery appointment) that I needed someone to stay with Aidan. I loved my last OB but she won't do a VBAC and I feel really strongly about at least trying for a VBAC. So we'll see what happens. I totally understand that it isn't always guaranteed that I will be able to have a VBAC but at least I can have the opportunity at this office to do what I feel strongly about.

There were no ultrasounds unlike my last pregnancy, I had a u/s at 9weeks with Aidan. The midwives at this office only do u/s at 20 weeks unless there is a need for an earlier u/s. So sorry, no pictures to show off this time around. Hopefully at the 20week u/s I will be able to figure out how to scan and post pics of baby. Otherwise I still feel gross and nauseated most of the time unless I have a full tummy but hopefully that will subside here in the next 4-8 weeks. So, that's all I have for today. I have another appointment on June 30th so look for another update then. Oh and I am the lucky one who gets to do the glucose testing at my next appointment too. Why you ask?? Because my BMI is over a certain point AND I had a baby over 9 pounds. So they are monitoring to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. So yea, I get to drink that icky orange stuff now and then again more towards the middle of my pregnancy so yea me!! Not really. Ugh, oh well.
