First OB Appt and I told work!!!

I LOVE my doctor! And I LOVE my new clinic. I just can't say it enough. If any of you are with a ho-hum doctor switch if you can find a good recommendation. It's been so great for me.

Anywho, my appt. All is well. I didn't get an ultrasound but I did get a fetal heart tone check. I didn't get the rate but it sounded wonderful. And since I'm one of the preggos that subscribes to the "I'll take any non-invasive test I can get" philosophy I have an NT scan next week. Yay me! Another ultrasound. That's 4 total for this pregnancy. I'll practically have a flip book of this pregnancy's gestation!

The nurse did say I had slightly elevated white blood cell count but that that was normal. Oh, and I can stop progesterone, start having sex again, (can you hear DH sighing with relief?) and she wants me on a baby aspirin because of familial and personal blood history.

And I told work today after my appt. It went pretty well I think. There are tons of people in my office but I only told a total of 5 people. Everyone else can find out the hard way by trying to see if I'm just getting fat or PG. Or they can find out via word of mouth. To me it's a bit like screaming "Hey, I've had sex and now I have proof!" So I don't want to announce it in a big meeting or anything. They'll all find out soon enough.

The biggest shocker was when I told my manager that my DH will be a SAHD. His mouth literally dropped open. Well, truth be told DH might work part-time. We aren't sure yet, he kind of has to try out the SAHD job before jumping in with both feet you know. I'm confident he'll love it though.

So that's me! Hope to read about tons more healthy embryo/fetus appts soon.

Peggy, this all sounds like such great news! Glad to hear you love your new OB so much. That will make all the difference in the world, I’m sure. And so cool that you get another u/s next week. And big yay for no more progesterone and getting back to business with DH! And congrats on telling work, must be nice to have it out there. Thanks so much for the update!

Peggy, that's wonderful news! I'm excited about how happy you are with your doctor and the great Doppler check and telling your boss. It probably made it easier to tell him since you told him you want to come back after the baby. I bet word will travel really quickly around the office.

Only one more week of the first trimester for you! Woohoo! I am so, so happy for you that everything is going so well for you and your baby :)
