First Doctor's appointment

We had the first prenatal appointment today - but it was really nothing too exciting. We were hoping for a little more confirmation about the pregnancy, but she said the home tests we took were just as accurate as anything they would do. We thought there was a blood test that would confirm it, but she didn't say anything about it and we didn't inquire. We won't be going in to hear the heartbeat for 4 more weeks. (June 22nd, 8:50am). And the first ultrasound won't be until 20 weeks! All this waiting is really getting hard. I just want to hear the heartbeat and then I'll feel a lot better. At least she said she could tell my uterus was bigger, so that is something.

The official due date is 12/27. First, the nurse said 12/25, but the doctor came back and said 12/27. Jeff's mom pointed out if we have it before the end of the year we can get a nice tax break. I'm still not thrilled about the date being around the holidays - so much going on! I guess at least there will be something to distract us at the very end - rather than just waiting for the baby.

This is what we looked like after the appointment - yup, we look the same....
