Our first OB appointment

Yesterdays appointment went great! I was really tired and not feeling good pretty much the whole day so leaving work and heading to my appointment was a big relief. We both like Dr. Chang a lot, he spent a lot time with us and was more than willing to answer every question we had. We both got to hear the heartbeat and it was amazing, I think our connection as a couple got even stronger if that's possible. Brad recorded the heartbeat on his phone, the doctor was really nice about it he let us hear the heartbeat for a long time. Dr Chang said, "I can tell this is your first baby, you guys could be happy listening to the heartbeat all day." lol

I am delivering the baby at Saint Luke's East in Lee's Summit and the doc said that he would induce me after 39 weeks if I wanted to. He said about 50 percent of girls get induced and that its totally up to me, unless of course I have to for medical reasons. I don't know what I am going to do yet, the only reason I am leaning towards maybe being induced is because my doctor will for sure deliver the baby and if I go into labor on my own I might just get whoever is on call. I have awhile to think about it so well see what happens.

The bad thing about the doctors office was that we had to wait an hour before the Doctor even saw us. When we finally got to see the doctor we both realized why we had to wait so long, he takes a long time with all his patients and never makes you feel like he is rushing to get out. I can make all my appointments in the afternoons so I don't have to worry about watching the clock and rushing back to work. I go back March 3rd for my next appointment and then March 17th we "officially" find out what the baby is, if we already know it will still be awesome to see the baby again. We are very excited!!

The bad part about yesterday was the I still did not feel good when I got home so I took my temp and it was 100.3. I pretty much slept from 6:00 pm to 5:00 am when I had to get up for work. Brad made me chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese and woke me up to eat so I would not go all night without eating. It was very sweet of him, I have been craving grilled cheese so it tasted really good! He has been taking good care of me, sometimes I think I don't deserve him but I am very thankful I have him. I'm not gonna lie though I do like this extra pampering. :)

I thank God every morning for blessing us with this miracle, going through this process is amazing and I could not imagine going through it with anyone but Brad. I have already starting praying many good things for this baby!

This post was so sweet! I am so happy for you... I can't say that enough! And you are blessed to have Brad for sure, but he is just as blessed to have you! Funny... Monday night I was sick and Aaron made me grilled cheese. I guess great minds think alike! :) I can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl. Either way will be amazing, its just fun to be able to say "him" or "her". Love you and am so happy for you!
