The nurse asked when my last menstrual period was which was April 16th. She took out this wheel chart and said my due date is January 21. Brian and I know that is not right. I do not have normal 28 day cycle. My cycles go from 30-45 days. I ovulated around May 7 according to my basal body temperature. My doctor came in and talked to us for a while. He confirmed that I am really pregnant. I had a fear that I would go to the doctor and he would say that I am not really pregnant. This is just my crazy thinking. Everything does not seem real yet. He ordered an ultrasound to determine exactly how far long I am. I will be getting an ultrasound on Friday. I am really excited about that. I really did not want to wait until 12 weeks to get an ultrasound. Hopefully everything will be okay with that!
At the doctor’s office, I got a bag with a bunch of stuff in it. I got magazines, bottles, vitamins, and a urine sample cup. Yes now every time I go to the doctors, I need to bring a urine sample with me. Just the beginning of the joy of being pregnant. I really do like my bag of goodies though. After our appointment, we went to Target to get my prenatal vitamins filled. While at Target, we briefly went down the baby aisle. We are going to need a lot of stuff. I am really excited about that. I cannot wait to pick out a stroller, crib, car seat, swing, high chair, and a pack in play. I will find the ones I like then let Brian do the research on them to make sure they are good.
Brian ordered us several books last night on pregnancy and babies. I am looking forward to them coming so we can read them. I am still nauseous most of the time but I am trying to handle it well. It is hard at work at times because I don’t want anyone to know yet that I am pregnant. I try to keep something in my system so I don’t get sick. Also after work today, I was really tried. I got a short nap in and now I am feeling okay.
