first Dr's appointment

My first Dr's Appointment was on 6/27/06 a Tuesday. Well, they confirmed it, I am expecting! There is some confusion as to how pregnant I am though. Based on my calculations, we concieved on June 1st, and they baby should be here February 22, 2007. The first day of my LMP was May 17th, but it was very light that day - it really got going on the 19th, either way, the baby was concieved on June 1st. So, at the Dr's appointment, I should have been 27 days pregnant or 5 weeks and 5 days. He did an ultrasound and was able to locate a yolk sack and a fetal pole, but did not detect a heartbeat. I am a little upset by this, but the Dr said not to worry, that he thinks that I may not be as pregnant as I think I am - which confuses me since I am not guessing and have been keeping up with everything. He said to come back in 4 weeks - that we would just watch it, and see where we are at then.

I like my Dr alot - he was joking during the ultrasound, he said that I was about 15 minutes pregnant.He said that around 18 weeks we would be able to know if we are having a girl or a boy. He also said that there is a possibility of fraternal twins, and that it is too early to tell about the possibility of identical. He should be able to tell more at the next appointment.
Kenny went with me to the Dr and got to be in the room with me when they did the ultrasound!He told me to get the book What to Expect when you're Expecting (my sister had already given it to me). It is so nice to have a sister that has already had a baby (he is 2 now). He told me to take pre-natal vitamins which my sister had already told me. Other than that there wasn't much to the appointment.

the best news!

Today, on 6-17-2006, we found out that we are going to have a baby. I am so excited!We have only been trying since April, and I though it would have taken alot longer, but I was pleasantly surprised. Some people think that we sould have spent more time together as newlyweds before beginning a family, but Kenny and I talked about it and we both wanted to start trying. He is 31 and I am 30, so I think that we are deffinately old enough, and even though we only got married in April, we have known each other for 13 years, and we have been living together for over a year. I once heard that if people waited until they were ready to have kids, they would wait forever, because you can never be truly ready.
The 16th was a Friday, and I was cold and tired that day, I knew that something was different with my body and I started to think that I might be pregnant. Saturday morning I went to Walmart to get a few things, and a pregnancy test. The test said that it could be used at any time of day, but that the hormone that it detected was more potent in first morning urine. Well I couldn't wait so I went ahead and tested myself. I got a really faint positive result!!!
So, I told my husband first, then my sister, her husband, and her son- my nephew Camden, Then my parents. The next day was Father's Day, I wish now that I hadn't been so excited and had surprised my husband with a father's day card, or gift or something. So since I wasn't able to surprise him that way, when we went to eat Father's Day dinner with his family, I gave his Dad a card that told him that he was going to be a grandfather again (Kenny has 2 nephews already). So we found out the news on June 17th, a Saturday. I called the Dr. first thing Monday morning, I thought I was going to go to the Dr that day, I was wrong, They made me an appointment for 6/27/2006 Tuesday - a week and a day later!
