Our first Dr. Appt!

Once we found out about the baby, we immediately scheduled our first OB appt at Greenville OB-GYN in Greenville, NC.  The appt was scheduled for July 29, 2010.  I was having mixed emotions and I think Brandon was just overly excited all together.  In my mind, I guess I still thought that I could have possibly showed a false positive and there wasn't a baby at all.  All Brandon could talk about was "I better get to see my baby today." "Do you think they'll give you an ultrasound?"  Haha, he was so precious and supportive.  When we got to Greenvile, I had to fill out SO many questions and signed so many papers.  I felt like I was signing my life away.  We saw a midwife that day and I think we are going to choose to have a midwife throughout the whole pregnancy.  You have the choice between meeting 6 doctors or 3 midwives.  I know the doctors there are great and each of them will do their best to take care of me and my baby, but I would rather spend the 9 months meeting 3 midwives and getting close to them than meeting 6 doctors.  Too many people for me to remember haha!  The time with the midwife went well, she just answered some of my questions I had and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign.  After the midwife left, we were taken to the ultrasound room and we got to see our little baby for the first time.  I was so excited and you know Brandon was too.  I measured six weeks and one day and my due date is set for March 23, 2011.  We got pictures and I took some from my phone as well and sent it to all of my friends and family.  We are so thankful for everyone's love and support and looking forward to our next appt on Sept 3, 2011.
