First Prenatal Appointment

 So, today i had my "orientation" appointment. They took weight, vitals, blood, urine, the basics... Then we sat down with a nurse and went over all the things to expect over the next 9 months. Went over breastfeeding, labor, the hospital, the doctors, the doctor's office, and even got a cute little gift bag. It was great to get a "refresher" of ( Read more... )

--Its totally up to you about the testing. I actually considered not getting it done this time either. It didnt tell me fully one way or the other last time. You're probably right. Even though medicaid does pay for it, it's kind of pointless and more stressful.
--If Alan needs to go, GO! Chris had been through the birthing process with his ex wife, and so I didn't have to teach him anything. I got an epidural as soon as I could, right after they broke my water for me. So I was confined to a bed. I wish I had thought about a shower before giving birth...
-- Registry, lunch, play date sounds great. We probably wont have a lot to spend either, because we're saving up as much as we can. I'd love to bring the kids, just because Connor loves getting out of the house.
-- There are these video cameras that have a USB thing in them that plug straight into your computer.
Heres a link.

I got one for christmas before connor was born and we used it directly after he was born to video tape him, (NOT the actual birth) but i lost it when we moved.

Yea, testing i think we will skip.

As far as going, it's all up to him, i'm neutral on this one...

I'm gonna try to have a natural birth again, so bath/shower really was the best thing for me last time. But, i do remember being happy as can be that when i thought i was in labor that i showered, just this time, i will be eating as much as i can before i get there (I know you "shouldn't" but i almost died from being hungry last time!!)

Then if you have the room (damn car people) lol.. then i will happily tote emilee along, i love having her around and she's a weird kid, so always amusing to others.

Everyone is always talking about the flipcams, so we will be trying to get one, might be a christmas present :) :) :)
