Chris and I went to our baby's first Ob appointment today. We haven't told anyone we are pregnant yet. Since my mom works in the medical records department of my OB's office I was afraid she was going to find out before I told her. However, she left work early on friday and had today off since she and my dad went to the lake.
At the appt they did an exam and went over some information/gave me a packet, took my blood pressure, weight, and drew labs and took urine. I felt a little rushed and they didn't even mention what my due date is, but i'm suspecting it is feb 18th. I was also a little disappointed that they didn't do an ultrasound and my doctor mentioned they will probably only do one around 20 weeks.
I'm very excited to be pregnant because I was really worried about infertility and am still worried about genetic abnormalities and other things that can go wrong. I also don't really "feel" pregnant yet so it's hard to believe that I really am.
When we got home Chris couldn't wait to tell his parents so he called and told them and his sister too. They all seemed very excited.
Since he told his family I felt that I needed to tell mine. I have to work tonight so I went ahead and called my parents, who are still at the lake, to tell them.

from experiance, most OB's only do a sonogram at 20weeks unless there are developmental problems. I had one with Landen at 8 weeks- only b/c i had no idea when my last period was. That might be a good way to get them to do it since you haven't already discussed your due date! That totally surprises me!
