1st Ob Appt.

I had my first OB appt last Tuesday. I know I know...I'm bad at this blogging stuff. I'm hoping I'll get better as the months go on...we'll see. So I had my 1st Ob appt last Tuesday and it went really really good!!! My doctor was excited to see me pregnant finally. She gave me a bunch of information and the book "What to Expect When your Expecting" for free, AWESOME!! I also got a U/S and will get one every time I go due to having twins. Its easier to see the heartbeats via U/S then try to hear the heartbeats on the doppler and know which one is which. At 20 weeks I start seeing a high-risk OB for bi-weekly U/S to check the placenta's, umbilical cords, and babies growth. Then at 24 weeks I will start seeing my regular OB also bi-weekly and then at 30 weeks every week. My next appt is Feb. 5th...it seems so far away.

I told work when I got back from the appt. And everyone is very excited and shock that it is twins. Of course they don't know how they were conceived but that doesn't matter let them think and wonder. Don't bother me and it can't either.

Then on Tuesday night mom took me out and we went shopping for maternity clothes. As I was growing out of my pants and my shirts are tight in the belly area. We went to the Huntley Outlets to Motherhood Maternity and there was no one there that night. So it was nice to have my own personal shopper. The sales lady was wonderful and picked out most of the tops. They also had a belly pillow to try on under the clothes to see what you look at 3 months from now...I have a picture on my phone I'll have to upload onto here. I told the sales lady that when the times comes for summer clothes I want to come back when she is there so she can see my process.

That's about it. I'll be 12 weeks this Friday and I can't believe it!
