So I got to leave work early yesterday to go to my doctors appointment. My appointment wasn't till 3:30 but it is kinda far away depending on traffic so I left work at 2:30, which happened to be plenty of time to get to the appointment! It only took me half an hour to get to St.Albert, traffic was good! So when I got there I had to pee of course which is good cause they need a sample so I got right on that! ;) Then I sat and read for a half hour till my appointment. The nurse checked my blood pressure, 129/67 (pulse = 65bpm) a little higher then last time but I don't think it was of any concern? And my weight, 87kg I have gained 5kg since last appointment!! :O Although I think I was more concerned about this then my doctor, she said considering we had Christmas and all the other holiday festivities it wasn't too bad and she kinda hinted to me that I 'will' start eating better now that I am feeling better ...right!? he he I agreed - it is definitely time to get back into eating salads and more fruits. Then I waited to see the doctor, I finally got to see her at 4:00!! And it was the fastest visit ever (once I got to see her), I didn't even have to get naked!! ;) She entered all my info in the computer, asked if I had any questions - I mentioned my increase in headaches and she said they should be OK as long as they are not the migraine type. Then I got on the table so she could hear the heartbeat, it was a little harder to find this time then last but eventually she found it. It sounded like it was really deep inside me not quite as loud as the first time (hiding under the fat perhaps?) 150bpm was the little "cubs" beat - so it has slowed down since last time but I think that is also normal. Other then that it was a good appointment, nothing major and I was home the same time I normally am if I had worked!?
Both my mom's (MIL and Mom) have kinda hinted that if I want company for the appointments that they would both be glad to come. Both have also mentioned that neither of them got to hear their kids heartbeat when they were pregnant (they just didn't do that back then?) So I was thinking that maybe in May/ April when it is easier to find the heartbeat I will be taking them to my doc's with me, so they can experience the heartbeat! :) If they still want to of course?! ;)

Of course I want to come!! Can't wait to hear your "cubs" heartbeat. Glad to hear your appt went well even if she was behind. Did you book your ultrasound yet? Might have to book a month or so in advance?? I dunno - I never had one of those either. In my day they only did ultrasounds if they thought something was wrong.
Love ya
Holy CRAP! See what happens when I let myself lag on the blog reading? I miss out on fabulous news like this!!!
Oh man, I'm so excited for you - (I swear, it's like we pregnant women want to suck everyone else in or something) and now I can't wait to go catch myself up on your blog.
Congrats! and I'm so glad you left a comment, so I'd be reminded to hop over here and make such a discovery :)
Just a quick question...any idea what happened to Jordanna?
glad your appt went well. I don't know if your doc is the same but mine did the appointment for the ulta sound. I just showed up when they told me to go. But maybe your is diffrent.
The appointments from now on are much faster, until you get closer to the end when you have to go in every week, then they check your dialation every time. It kindof sucks, but you get used to dropping your pants. lol.
I know my first ultra sound was around 3-4 months preggy, so you should be up for your first one pretty quick. Its sooo cool!
Luv ya see you tonight
Thanks for all your comments!! I really enjoy them! :)
anon- I booked my ultrasound before Christmas, in the Park - Feb 1st, it is both a regular one and a 3D one.
robyn- It was nice to see a comment from you, I feel like we were struggling with weight loss together and now we get to go through pregnancy together. Although your ahead of me so I get the heads up from your blog on what to expect! ;) Jordanna is still around, one of mine and "Iris-flower-aka Denise" friends, in fact I will be seeing her tonight! :) She has just been busy with life stuff and doesn't blog too much anymore.
Denise- My doctor doesn't do the ultrasounds in the office I had to book at an Imaging center. She says I only get one ultrasound :( Did you get more then one?! I'm so jealous if you did!! :)
It's so much fun to hear the heartbeat! My doc said 150 bpm was a nice strong beat.
I hear you on the more fruits and salads... I have been a total slacker on my diet. I am really trying to commit to eating healthier, but I can't resist ice cream! LOL
