How far along: 9 weeks
Size of baby: Size of a grape
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, although things are getting tight.
Gender: Unknown at this point
Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing.
What I miss: My energy!
Cravings: Not too many so far. Mostly sweets!
Symptoms: So far so good. Really just tired a lot and very grouchy! I'm lucky to have only had one or two bad days where I felt terrible overall. No morning sickness!
We went for our first Doctor's appointment on May 16, 2011. We live in the Reading, PA area and so we chose Dr. Heidi Streib for the first visit. The office is small but the staff is friendly and Dr. Streib is better than anyone I could have imagined so far.
The first visit was pretty easy. We were given a wealth of information on what to expect, how to get to the maternity section of our local hospital, what kinds of medications I can and can't have. Anything you want to know about having a baby...you get at your first visit! You also have to give your life history. What diseases run in the family? Do you have any medical conditions? Do you take an prescription drugs? And so on, and so forth.
The best part of this first visit, we got the hear our little baby's heartbeat. It's true when they say that this is a sound like no other. It took the doctor a few minutes to find the heartbeat but when she finally did, it was incredible. It was beating so fast! It was finally proof that there really was something growing in there!
