First Appointment

Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I am pretty bad at this, but I promise I will try to get better! haha! I had mentioned that my first midwife appointment was on March 4th. It was a good visit. Our midwife took a lot of time to explain everything she was doing and to talk to us. She made us feel really comfortable. We really liked her. We were also able to hear the baby's heartbeat! Yay!! What an incredible moment that was, just hearing that heartbeat knowing that there is someone growing inside of you. The heart was beating so fast too. A funny thing was that when the midwife was using the Doppler, she could pick up radio stations and cell phone conversations on my belly. Needless to say, our child is already a genius. haha! After my appointment, we went to Clark Memorial Hospital where I will be giving birth. It is such a nice hospital. We are excited about it. On my next visit I will tour the labor and delivery floor. I had to give lots of blood and they had to run a lot of tests while I was there. Then to finish off the afternoon right, we found Five Guys and ate a very yummy, greasy, burger and fries. It was a treat, because even though I want to eat that like everyday, I try to refrain and eat healthier.

On another note, I am 12 weeks, uncomfortable in my clothes and having dizziness. I am going shopping this weekend for a few new shirts and definitely buying the bella band. PTL!!! Relief is coming soon! haha!
