1st Prenatal Appointment- 6 weeks!

I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant today!  Half-way through my first trimester already!  :)  Kevin and I had our first prenatal appointment today, and got to meet Dr. Guiroy, our OB/GYN! I was a little nervous about meeting her because I wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with her, and that I got a good "vibe" from her.  As soon as she walked into the room, I felt completely at ease.  She was so happy and energetic! I felt like I've known her for years! 

After talking to our doctor for awhile, and answering some questions, we learned that there is a 99% chance that she will personally deliver our little "pumpkin!"  Most other clinics have several OB/GYN's, and there is no guarantee that your doctor will be the one who actually delivers.  It's usually whoever is on-call.  I felt so at ease to know that she would be there, even if it's on her day off!  She also speaks fluent Spanish because her husband is from Argentina, which my dad will LOVE! haha.  :)

At the end of our visit, I had to get some blood work done. NOT FUN!  The doctor said that we should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat on our next visit which is in 4 weeks.  She also said that right around this time is when morning sickness starts.  So far, I haven't felt any of the morning sickness symptoms, so we'll see! I'm really scared! :/

After our appointment, I went with my friend Judy to Whole Foods for a "date" and some yummy snacks!  She bought me a slice of my FAVORITE chocolate cake, a mini Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream, and a bag of Sea Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips! Random cravings, but SO good!
