I had my first appt on Tuesday.  DH was swamped at work and didn't make it.  We were under the impression that there wouldn't be an u/s because the front desk said that I would get referred out for that (made no sense as my doctor is at the hospital, but ok).  I really like my doctor, she is wonderful!  She did do an ultrasound and there is just one small one. :-)  (Twins run in the family so it was a possibility.)  The baby measured right on track and I could see the heart beat on the u/s screen.  She did not do a doppler so I still don't know what it sounds like, but seeing it beat with my own eyes was amazing!  I got to take pictures home to show DH.  I have lost the 2 lbs I'd gained, but the doctor did not seem worried by that at all.  Next appointment isn't until October 2nd, I just need to get bloodwork done and go for the screening u/s (it's the one with a referral, silly front desk!) between now and then. :-)
