Our First Dr.'s Appointment

Dave and I went to our first Dr.'s appointment yesterday for the baby. We met with a nurse practioner that was so incredibly nice, it completely put us at ease. She's about our age and we were able to talk her into taking a quick snapshot of the baby!

We were right on with our due date of July 4, 2009, so that was cool that we guestimated correctly (actually Kristy and her handy book did, thank you Kristy!).

Just as I suspected the Dr. said all of the things I can't eat....lunch meat, limited fish intake, and all sorts of other stuff. The lunch meat is going to be hard to do...who doesn't like a Subway sub occasionally? She also went over all sorts of tests we can opt to have done to ensure the baby's health. We're still fairly young, so we are at low risk so I believe we will forgo most testing that is optional.

Sunday, December 7th I get to walk the commencement line at the U of M with 'Baby K' in tow...it'll be fun when he or she gets older to tell them they 'walked the line' with me when I graduated from college!

More information to come soon, our next appointment is on December 23rd, where we meet with our Dr. and get another check up. Then towards the end of January at our appointment where I will be around 20 weeks, we will be able to tell the sex of the baby (and hopefully get a good picture to post on here!)
