Milestones: We had our first doctor appointment!
We learned a few things at our first Dr. appointment last Friday.
- I was apparently a bit off on my calculations. When we were spreading the word at what we thought was 5 1/2 weeks, I was only 4 1/2 weeks. Oops. Most people don’t even know they are pregnant until about 6 or 7 weeks. For some reason, my body seems to scream “PREGNANT!” at 3 1/2 or 4 weeks.
- My estimated due date is January 27, 2011.
- We will have to pay our insurance deductible twice on this kid. Our doctor will be billing us this year. The hospital will bill us after he/she is born in January. Things you never think of…
- There is only one baby! I was very concerned about this, as I had strange feelings that it was twins. Whew. Not this time!
- I think I’m going to love my new doctor! I was very sad when I found out my old doctor was leaving, but the new one is awesome.
- It is difficult nearly impossible to entertain an active 6-month old in a clinic for 3 hours.
