Well our Dr. apt came and went and I didn’t blog. There was so much info in my head that I didn’t think I could get it all out in the blog, but I guess I will try.
The Dr. Apt-
The morning of our apt. we were both up early-ish to get ready. I was super nervous but ready to hear what the Dr had to say. We got there and were greeted by the receptionist who was nice and calmed me down a bit. I filled out some paper work and grabbed a folder with tons of into in it. The secretary gave us a breakdown of the cost and what we would be paying. C looked that over while I filled out the paper work and had her sign her portion.
My name was finally called and we went in. They took my blood pressure (It was high, I told the nurse I was very nervous and that my blood pressure had always been normal, she said “ I believe you and its okay, there is nothing to be worried about”. They weighed me (eeeek) and off we went to wait in a room until the Dr was ready to see us. We were in the small room where they do ultrasounds for about 5 mins and the nurse then came back in and escorted us to the Dr’s office. We walked in and he asked us to sit.
He started off by introducing him self and saying that first we would get my health info then we would set a plan for us. He asked the normal info about my periods and health and family health. He asked C some info about her health also. He explained that the OBGYN in our city was split up into 3. The OBGYN in the main building, Reproductive Endocrinology and then patients had their baby in another city, not to far from where we are. He talked about medicine and blood tests etc etc. He printed out our “plan” and gave me some papers to go get blood tests done on specific days. He said to call him or e-mail him if we had any questions. He also said to start taking a prenatal vitamin, any kind was fine. O, He also said I needed to loose 8 pounds. We asked him that when we did all the tests and assuming everything was fine, when did he think we could start trying for our baby. He said he didn’t see any reason to wait as long as I was healthy enough, C and I looked at each other and all we could do was smile. Our baby dreams were beginning to become a reality.
Reality Sets in-
The morning of the apt. I tried in vain I get a hold of my mother, whom we live with for reasons that are our (me, C and my mothers). I talked to her that night about what the Dr said with my mom and C. My mom seemed to be easing up on the fact that it was really going to happen.
Now…
It has been a little tough on me having to go give blood so often and be so in tune with what is going on with my body. The first few days I took the prenatal vitamins, I was so tired. No matter how much sleep I got I was still tired. Its better now and we are both very excited to start trying in Dec. or Jan!
To do-
LOOSE 8 POUNDS!
Go for more walks/bike rides
Make apt. With S.B for consultation
