first doctor visit

today we went to see our new doctor! i have been very anxious about today. i think because i didn't want to go in and the doctor tell me i have a "hysterical pregnancy" and i have been making it all up.

good news. there is a baby!

we did not get an ultrasound, which i know for some would be devastating, but we were able to hear the heartbeat and that was gift enough for me.

the doctor did a full exam and decided that i am 12 weeks along (which is about what i thought). when we have our ultrasound around the 20th week, we will get a better idea.

our due date is around May 20 and since we will be having a c-section, we will meet our baby about a week before that.

my doctor who delivered Nora and Elyn is no longer practicing obstetrics (just family practice) and i am sad that he will not be delivering this baby. however, after our visit with our new doctor today, i am very pleased and peaceful about him being the one that walks with us on this journey.

we are praising God for a good report today! i cried tears of joy when i heard the little swoosh of a heartbeat! (funny story-Dr. J told me that it was more difficult to find the heart beat than it normally is...i guess i'm difficult-ha!)

next visit is in four weeks! and we are taking the girls to that one...it should be interesting :).
