1st Appt at Kaiser

July 8, 2008

Our appointment at Kaiser yesterday went really well. We met with a midwife/nurse practitioner who was really great. They drew lots of blood (6 vials!), did an exam and an ultrasound. On the ultrasound, our baby was waving at us, and we could even see it moving it’s mouth! It was so cool to see. The midwife/NP said that at the 12th week, they want to be able to see and hear the heartbeat through a normal ultrasound and to make sure the heart is beating fast enough. Our baby’s heartbeat was 160/minute which she said is great.

Unfortunately, the ultrasound machine wasn’t working properly, so they weren’t able to print us a picture. We were really bummed, but at least we have other ultrasound pictures to share. I think we’ve been lucky to have had 4 ultrasounds in the first 12 weeks!

We also got to choose our OBGYN, who I saw back in February 2007, when I first started having problems. I only saw her once, but I liked her immediately, so we’re really excited to have her as our doctor.

I’m happy to report that 99% of my morning, noon and night sickness is gone! Now, I’m just hungry ALL THE TIME. I’m trying to choose my food wisely, but if you know me at all, you know that choosing carrots over chocolate is not an easy task for me. I’m praying that God will make me suddenly love veggies. He’s all powerful, He could do that, right???

Our next appointment is not for another month, so there may not be much to report in the meantime, but we’ll see what we can come up with.

As always, thank you so much for your prayers, love and support!

    Carrots or Chocolate???
    What a choice.
    We see chocolate dipped strawberries, and other fruits as well.
    You know where this is going, right?

    Sorry, my ‘alias’ wasn’t typed correctly in the first response.
    I still think chocolate dipped mini carrots have possibilities.
