Babypants in the house!

Hello all!

I had my first prenatal appointment yesterday. I thought it might be scary and the doctor might yell at me for being too fat and pregnant. But she didn't. She actually wasn't even the doctor. She was the nurse practitioner.

So maybe the doctor will yell at me when I see her for my next appointment March 9th.....

But anyhow, I digress. There was nothing scary there! She is testing me for a bunch of std's and stuff (which I guess is standard she says...) and took some little smear from my cervix, looked at it for infection, and found none. She asked me a bunch of questions that I don't know how they were even important to this topic, like, what religion are you, and what religion is your husband. She asked if Mr. Babypants would want to be circumcised, and she asked if I was going to nurse. She FELT my uterus, and determined that the baby is most likely 6 weeks along, as I expected. She felt my boobs too, which sucked a little because they were really sore.

My due date is September 26th. So far.

My first ultrasound is scheduled for Wednesday! Yeah!

She gave me a bag full of parenting magazines and prenatal vitamin samples, and all these pamphlets that I haven't looked at. And she gave me a book called "While Waiting" or something like that. She told me that if I'm going to read a book, please let it be this one. Hmm.

Either way, it was fun and exciting and so far, everything is fine!

I stopped home after my appointment because I wanted to get a sweater (and a sandwich, it was lunchtime...) and there was a package at my door from my mom! I opened it, and there were a bunch of books in there from when she was pregnant, that she is giving to me! Name books, week by week 1970's diary books, and, THE SAME BOOK THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE GAVE ME!

Isn't that crazy? I guess giving birth can't have changed so much, huh? They are doing it the same as they were before, I guess. Of course, my book is a 3rd edition and mom's is a first....

But the BEST part--she sent presents! Wrapped in baby paper! Babypants was so excited about it's first gifts! There were two of them, with a card for me and my baby's daddy.

The card was so nice:) Babypants grandma and grandpa are so excited for it to be born. I opened the presents for Babypants (remember, Babypants just has 'paddle buds', not arms or legs yet) and they were baby clothes! An outfit for a baby boy, and an outfit for a baby girl!

Awww!

Isn't this exciting?:) A baby! Babypants can't wait to be born, either! But we don't want it to rush it....no coming out until it's done.
