My bubba is now the size of a lemon. Yes, that yellow sour thing called lemon. He/she is doubled in size and probably sucking his/her thumb and wiggling his/her toes.
And... finally I had my long overdue first prenatal visit. My appointment was at 11:30 am. Both hubby and I were working and we took early lunch break thinking that it will not take an hour for the first visit. So we drove to Boyd Medical Clinic and filled out some forms. Then I was introduced to my OB-- a lady OB. The medical assistant took my blood pressure and weight. The she told me to take off my undies and lie on the bed with stirrup. uhm.. I didn't expect this. I've never been to an OB before... never experienced having pap smear whatever in my life so this is another first.
Then I undressed, slip into a lovely backless gown and wait for my doctor. I avert my eyes to a lot of information posted on the wall and I can't help but say too much information makes you paranoid.
Soon, OB came in and introduced herself as Lisa. She looked so young. She asked a couple of questions to me and my hubby. She was so businesslike and brisk.. like straight from a textbook. Then she figured out how old my baby was.. which is no news coz I've known it from self-computation and of course with Google's help. Before the doctor did the pap smear, she asked us if we want to hear the heartbeat. I was TOTALLY?!? So she applied some gel on my tummy and glided the fetal doppler. We were so anxious.. what if there's no heartbeat .. all those things crossed my mind. Lo and behold... it sounded like a galloping horse! I'm not "emo" that day as I was laying there panty-less but we were sooooooo happy. Indeed, there's really a baby growing inside of me. It's not just my imagination, our baby actually EXISTS.
