Our first OB appointment was the 23rd of August. Jason and I went together not really knowing what to expect. By this time I had again convinced myself we were most likely not pregnant. Perhaps I’d had a missed miscarriage and would be met with disappointing news. The nurse checked us in and we did all the standard pregnancy visit things. Then we got a gift bag of sorts with a book and product samples and lots of other random baby stuff. I was sort of anxious for the part where they find the heartbeat but first we had to go through an entire health history and pregnancy health counselling and all sorts of random information. FINALLY we got to the fun part. Apparently my OB does an ultrasound during the first appointment with all her patients instead of just listening for the heartbeat. Jason and I looked at the screen and at first all there was was a black circle. “Of course there’s no baby” I found myself thinking. Then she scanned a little deeper with the ultrasound and wouldn’t you know…
I decided for the time being, I would believe that we were pregnant. 🙂
