Bye Bye 1st Trimester!

YIPPEE! I am done with the 1st trimester! That means less nausea and less moments of feeling like a got run over by a truck! I had a doctor's appt. yesterday and everything is going pretty well. Blood pressure is good, blood sugar's are good, and other things that I won't mention are good! I had to take Adrianna with me because I had to take her to get her urine tested right across the hall from my doctor. My appt. was at 10:45 but by the time my doc got to me, it was 11:25. As we were waiting Adrianna had to go to the bathroom. As she was coming back into our room she saw the doctor and said to him "Are you coming in to see my mommy yet?". He said he would be there soon! Leave it to a 4 year old to be honest! So he had to do a FULL exam and Adrianna was a little concerned over why I had to put my feet in those padded things!
She was "Miss chatty" and kept telling the doctor she was going to see her grandma after this. She even asked him if he was going to see his grandma!

He tried to find the heartbeat and thought my uterus was tipped back so he wasn't sure he would be able to hear it. He said we could wait another 4 weeks (whatever), or do an ultrasound to confirm everything was okay. I of course opted for the ultrasound!
During this time he had 3 other patients to finish before 12pm, and a woman in labor who was on her 5th child. Her last baby came in 3 hours and the 3 hour mark was right when he was with me! So...we waited a little while longer and he actually came back in within 10 minutes.
I can't believe how much "he":) has grown in 5 weeks! We saw the heartbeat, the head and body and the ribs. So amazing! Everything is fine and I'm glad we were reassured.
As he was putting the goop the wand for the ultrasound it made that squirting noise you get when your almost out of something. Well.. Adrianna says "Excuse you mommy!". It was good for a laugh I guess! She is so hilarious sometimes!

Anyway..baby is good and I don't have to go back for another 4 weeks. I will relish that!
God is good!

So glad to hear everything went well, and even better that you get to wait 4 weeks until your next appt! What a blessing too that you got to get another peek at "him" in the ultrasound :-). We will continue praying for a problem-free pregnancy (maybe even without diabetes or high blood pressure!!) :-)
