First Doctor Appointment!!

I'm 13 weeks and I finally made it to my doctor!! He said the baby is looking perfectly healthy and strong!! It was so much fun to be able to finally see it and see the little heart beating away. For some reason I had this fear walking into the appointment that they would do the ultra sound and not find anything and that it was all in my imagination...but nope!! Right when he put the thing on my stomach a little baby popped up on the screen!
My doctor is amazing! He is a professor at Trav's school and he really takes the time to sit and talk with you and answer any questions. He made me feel like I was his first patient ever because he was so excited about every step we were doing in the appointment. He just kept telling me how amazing it is to have kids and that I will never regret doing it!! He also said that he really believes in the miracle of having babies naturally so he won't suggest a C-section unless I absolutely need one...which I love!! He also said that if he's not at the hospital he will usually just let the on-call doctor do the delivery but since Travis is a med student he WILL be there for my delivery. He said he really likes to be able to support people going through medical school wether it's doctors or nurses and so he likes to give those people extra special treatment. :)
I also found out that I lost 10 pounds from the constant throwing up I was doing (thank goodness I'm past that!) so the doctor said he would be more happy if I gained around 35 pounds instead of the 25 he usually tells people to gain. Fine by me!!! I'll just eat my little heart out and enjoy every second of it!!
Travis and I are already so in love with this baby!! And as you can tell from the picture it is already adorable....it will have everyone wrapped around it's little fingers in no time!!
Well I'll have my next appointment October 7th and have my major sonnogram done so hopefully we'll know what gender it is next month!! We'll keep you updated!
