Yesterday, May 30th, I had my first OB appointment. I basically got to do all the fun stuff to get checked out and also meet with the OB nurse to answer questions about medical history and also she gave me a bunch of fun baby pamphlets and stuff! It really made it seem so real! Especially when she was talking about filling out labor and delivery forms... which needs to be done around 20 weeks... that is only 8 weeks away people! CRAZY! Also, she talked about finding a pediatrician and all the details of when the baby gets here... SO FUN!
I also got to hear the heartbeat again, which was as sweet as always. It was 165 which was faster than last time - it was only 133 the first time we heard it. Steve was hilarious because I had told him the old wives tale that if the heartbeat is below 140 then it is a boy and if it is above 140, it is a girl. Well, he was like "I knew it! It's a boy!" Well, my doctor busted his bubble a little and said it was only an old wives tale. He still sent a text to all our friends telling them the news, haha! Well, this visit when my doctor said it was 165, I laughed and sent Steve a text telling him. He was like WHAT? 165??? Haha! We still both think it's a boy... but I just like to mess with him about it. We would both be perfectly happy with a boy or girl, we are just praying for a sweet, healthy baby!
Anyways, so my
appointment went really well. I was nervous for some reason, I trust
the Lord and know that our baby is in His hands. I really do have a
peace about everything, I just really don't like doctors and all the
lovely routine things they have to do... if you know what I mean. So it
makes me a little anxious. But my doctor said everything looked PERFECT
so that was very comforting! :) I am so thankful that this pregnancy has
been so smooth so far! :)
Oh and I only gained 2 lbs
which is nice... since I decided to gain a whopping 4 lbs in the first 7
weeks... haha! I was a getting a little nervous for myself haha! My
nausea has pretty much gone away... even though it decided to come back
the last few days. Oh, here's a scary story... I was in Joann's Fabric
Store with my mom the other day, well we were standing there getting the
fabric cut and this sweet old lady was going on and on about how we
could double our coupons and blah blah... all of things we already
knew... she seriously would not just cut our fabric. I was already
feeling quite nauseous because I had not eaten lunch yet. Well all of a
sudden I felt really hot and dizzy. I took off my sweater and was trying
to decide whether I should just sit down in the middle of Joann's on
the floor, or if I should stick it out. Finally I told mom I was going
to the car. She was a little caught off guard but said okay. I went and
drank my water and blasted the A/C in the car for a few minutes. Finally
felt better, so I went back in and paid for my stuff. It was super
scary and of course mom was like YOU NEED TO EAT SARAH! So we went and
had Chick fil a which was delish! I felt a lot better after that. Lesson
learned: as this baby continues to grow, I need to eat more and more
frequently... never trying that again.
I think that's
about all that's going on for now. I am looking forward to 4 weeks from
now... we will be finding out the gender!! We are going to go to a
little place where you can find out early and then on June 30th we will
have a gender reveal party with our family and friends. My sweet friends
and sister are going to throw it for us. I am super excited... because
only Steve and I will know... we will open a box and either blue or pink
balloons will fly out. YAY! So fun! We had considered not finding out
and being surprised with everyone else (because I love a good surprise),
but we decided it's a sweet intimate moment that we want to be between
just us when we find out. I think it will be a lot of fun this way, as
long as I can keep my mouth shut for the couple days before when we know
and everyone else doesn't! AHH!!
