First Doctor's Appointment.

Well we finally had our first doctor's appointment yesterday for the baby. We started a new doctor this time because my old one is retiring this month. I am not really fond of change, but he seemed really nice! All is well with the baby, the doc. estimates that I am 7 weeks. I think Frank was a little disappointed because he was convinced that I was farther along =) Oh well I don't mind baking a little longer. So my due date is October 26th. He of course wants me to do another c-section. So he told me that he typically does them about a week before due date. so around the 19th is what he said would be good. Now keep in mind Caylob's birthday is the 21st. Ha and Jaycob and Liana's birthdays are really close too.

He of course was worried about my last pregnancy, but is convinced that it has no bearing on this pregnancy, so he decided not to consider me high risk.The only two risk factors are my weight and my past c-sections. So I will do the normal routine. Up to 26 weeks I will go every 4 weeks, then go every two until I am 36 weeks. After 36 weeks I will go every week. He was really good on giving details. I will have an ultrasound at around 18weeks. Not soon enough for me, but I will deal with it ;) Also I am excited to hear the heart beat which should be next time. Our next appointment is on April 7th.

Over all the visit went great and I am good with the doc. Frank likes him too because the doctor included Frank in on the conversation, unlike Dr. Fitts. He always made Frank feel like he had no say so in my pregnancies.

I am feeling very fatigued, I cannot wait until I get my energy back! I don't know what I will do with myself. But until then I will do my chores in spurts.

Have a good one all!!
