First Appointment

Today was my very first appointment at the Women Care Clinic. I actually wasn't nervous going into the center as I thought I would be (I'm sure Mom remembers my wisdom teeth, cried before I even got in the room). After I filled out paperwork for a half an hour and waited a little bit, I was called in there. The lady was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. She's the midwives nurse, but is also a Doula on the side. She doesn't do it very often but if insurance covers it or if we can afford it, I would love it if she's my Doula. She was so amazing and made me feel 100% comfortable. Brian will tell you I told you so, because he told me I would feel way more comfortable with a midwife than a regular doctor, and well he's totally right (but don't tell him I said that). They drew my blood, very first time of experiencing that and it actually wasn't even close to as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't watch and Brian held my hand the whole time. I also got to hear the heart beat which was totally cool because every time she would put the thingy on my belly, the baby would move really fast and I could feel it. It was awesome!! My ultrasound appointment is Tuesday, October 2. I can't wait!!

I am so excited to find out if it a boy or a girl, I just can't wait. I am glad that the baby seems to be doing well. The thing I miss most about being pregnant is feeling Logan move inside my uterus.

Wow, grandchild #4 on the way. I really can't remember you crying before you got your wisdom teeth out. That's one good thing about getting older, you forget lots of stuff. I wouldn't trade places with you(pregnancy did NOT agree with me) Keep us posted, love, mom/grandma Wood
