First visit

I went to the doctor’s office for the first time yesterday. It was really just a “get to know you” visit. We talked about what the office provides, the hospital and all those healthy things you need to do. I found out the little belly I already have is actually a normal thing… Once you’ve stretched out for a baby, the body remembers much quicker. Oh well. So I’ll be huge a lot sooner than with Cam.

So I went out with my students last night and drank 2 pretend vodka tonics… That is, a highball glass with sprite and a lime. I’m sure that will be cause for rumor later when they all find out I was pregnant at the time.

I’m excited. And it’s hard to remind myself you need to be skeptical about a pregnancy until you reach 12 weeks. I’m only 5 weeks pregnant at this point… But with a little belly, I feel connected quicker. I can’t seem to distance myself as well as last time. That’s kind of scary. If things work out, the office thinks my due date is January 3. So whatever it is, it’s certainly around the first week of January.

My next doctor’s appointment is in two and a half weeks. I’ll be around 2 months pregnant at that point.
