Last week I finally had my first appointment. She was fabulous. As soon as she walked in and said "I remember you" I was sold. I mean, after 9 years! It was pretty cool that someone I may have met once or twice totally remembered me. I don't exactly remember her but she does seem familiar. She reminds me of my Mom.
So the visit was great. She just took my weight (ugh!) and got my medical history and all of that. Then said she was going to try and listen to the heartbeat, but prefaced it with "I haven't heard a first trimester heartbeat all week" and then POOF, as soon as she touched the doppler on my belly, there it was. It was magic.
I decided to do the genetic testing. It was a little nerve racking, just to know what information they could bring back to you, so I spent the next week with that on the back of my mind. Monday I was relieved to hear that all was looking good. I am due to do another blood test in two weeks to finalize some of the tests- only because now they have this new way of doing it. Where you take a blood test, then the ultra sound, then another blood test. It's more accurate, less false positives, which I am all for.
Eddie is home now. What an insanely long tour that was. We are glad to have him back, Quattro has never been happier to seem him and has been on him like glue only detaching to go to school.
I am still really tired and battling the nerve problems in my hands and arms. I think it is getting better with more exercise and more rest.
Speaking of rest...
