my first prenatal. ok. i am blessed with "luck" at the dumont! i waited all about 5 mins before i was assessed by the nurse (who remember me and nate from his pregnancy! and ben's!) she did a full history and wrote a book
then we listened to the heart beat. nate was very impressed by this. he thought it was cool enough to put his leapster down. ha. i forgot to record it, i was too busy listening and crying. heart beat was 156
i was weighted but i am not saying what i was because i simply don't care what i weight! goal weight gain is 25-30 pounds. i've put on 5 already
then i was off to see dr. robichaud. he did another pull inspection on me, full on board if yous know what i mean. then he determined that i am indeed high rick and he will be seeing me for the entire pregnancy. meaning, i won't be booked with other dr's, just him, and he will deliver the baby
i have opted out of ALL testing and ultrasounds 9other than the 18 week one). i am booked for my 18 week, to do another date determination. dr. robichaud will prob change my due date based on that. instead of being 13 weeks today, i may be determined 14....really? who cares! i'm having a baby, that is all i care about! wheeeeeeeeeeee
i have another appoint in 3 weeks. normally you go in 4-5 weeks until the 30th week. but dr. rob wants to keep a good eye on me. so i have more frequent appointys
i was however told that i had to have some tests done today so i did em...he wanted to check a few things...not sure what and i didn't ask bec i do not want any stress!
all in all it was a GREAT appointy. and get this veronique! i was in and out in 1.5 hours (i had 3 separate appointments, blood work and extra tests included which took me all over the hospital) ha! i tell ya! i have great luck for appointments there!
oh, nate watch my blood being taken and he said "that is disgusting!"
ha!

So glad things went well and that you are in good hands. We'll keep praying that everything will go smoothly for you and baby. We pray that all the tests will come back normal (whatever it is they are testing for).
Wish I could give you a hug.
Love, Ursi
P.S. Katie told me today that cousin Nate should come to her house to pick a name for the new baby. I can't quite figure out why he would need to come here for that, but I'm sure in Katie's mind it makes sense somehow.
Awesome news Mel!! Excited for you all! :)
Looking forward to following every step with you!
Also just wanted to say that I think you're being wise with the opting out thing & the not asking... sometimes to much info makes one think too much. ahem. ;)
