I had my first official doctor's appointment yesterday, so freaking exciting. I never thought I'd be so excited to visit an OB/GYN. They didn't do much, just urine and bloodwork, and we talked a bit about my confusion with the dates. Apparently insurance doesn't cover ultrasounds on the first appointment no matter what, so my doctor is having me come back in on Thursday for dating. SO ready to see my little bean! She felt my uterus manually and guesstimated me to be 8-9 weeks, which is interesting, since I thought I was exactly 7 yesterday (or about 11, if my April period really didn't happen). I know it's silly, but I really feel a little bit upset with myself for not knowing when I conceived...it makes the year of charting feel like a big ol' waste of time and money. Oh well. Next time, I know not to stop, even if things feel hopeless. I'm still spending most of my time feeling various degrees of nauseous, but I guess I've been pretty lucky in that I haven't actually gotten sick very much at all....just constantly feel like the possibility's there, which I'm not sure is a whole lot better :P Regardless, this entire experience is just mind-bogglingly amazing and I feel SO fortunate every minute of the day to get to be doing this right now. Even when I feel like absolute shit, I'm *SQUEE*-ing on the inside. When I'm laying next to J, sometimes I'll be like, "We're having a baby. Did you know we're having a baby? 'Cause we totally are. There's a baby inside me." lol, I'm sure that doesn't get annoying AT ALL. He's a good sport though, usually, even if his excitement is just a shade paler than mine.
OH! Here's a thing. We're going to Williamsburg, VA this weekend with my BFF and her family. Originally, the plan was to go to Busch Gardens and Water Country, USA, but when we found out about the beeb, we took Busch Gardens out of the equation since it's basically all roller coasters and other rides that neither me nor my 5 year old goddaughter can do. However, we left Water Country in the itinerary. Is this a good plan? I read the ride restrictions on their website and none of them said anything about pregnancy, but I've been going back and forth on this a lot. Truthfully, I feel like I'm more likely to trip and fall while walking down the street than I am to get hurt on a family-friendly water slide, and I'll obviously use my best judgement while we're there, if I feel like any of them are too aggressive. I feel like it will be fine, but I just so don't want to take any dumb risks. Opinions would be appreciated on that situation. If nothing else, I'll just hang out on the lazy river all day :)
