First appointment scheduled!

I called the OB yesterday and made an appointment for my first prenatal visit. While speaking with the woman, she informed me that I am a week further along then I thought. Im actually 5 weeks and 3 days along as of today. They calculate your pregnancy from CD1.

My appointment is set for Monday, April 10th at 10am. I can't wait! It seems so far away though. Being that I am possibly high risk (do to cervical surgery a couple years ago), they are going to do a transvaginal ultrasound. This will help them determine if I will need my cervix stitched shut, or if i'm ok to carry the baby without assistance. I will also be able to see my little baby too! Though he/she will be to small to see characteristics, im still excited and looking forward to it.

I was also told that they will do another ultra sound when im 12 1/2 weeks and 22 weeks. I love ultrasounds. It's so exciting to see your baby on that monitor. It's such a wonderful feeling. Im not far enough along to hear the heartbeat, but I will be able to see the baby's heartbeating on the monitor during the ultrasound. Pretty cool huh?

DF is so excited. He keeps looking at me and smiling. He's so happy. He too can't wait until the ultrasound. He said that will make it seem more real to him. I cant blame him. I feel the same way. Seeing our baby will definitely make it seem real.

I can't believe im finally pregnant. This is awesome!!!

Well, I gotta run. Im STARVING! I need to get something to eat and wake up DF. We have errands to run.
