The First Visit

So the news is out. I guess it is impossible to keep such an exciting discovery quiet. I don't think there is any harm in letting people share in our happiness this early. Everyone who has been privy to the information has had a very positive reaction, several even confessed to having a "feeling" that I was pregnant. I can't say that I am surprised by the enthusiasm we have received. Much like everyone else, I think that we are going to be wonderful parents (if I do say so myself).

I saw Dr. Rice today. She gave me a whole bunch of requisition forms for a whole bunch of tests. I don't have my first ultrasound until between "11 week and 3 days and 13 weeks". I don't know why they are so specific, but that is what she said. In the meantime, I have to go for blood work and back to Dr. Rice's for a check-up. She will be referring me to Dr. Lal, the OBGYN that Mary recommended. I guess that means that BB will be coming into this world at the Queensway Carleton Hospital somewhere around September 11/12th, 2008. While I am anxious to meet our baby, I am also really looking forward to being pregnant and watching my body change. My breasts have already grown half an inch, I can only imagine what else is in store for me. We already know that sleeply nights filled with snoring are in store for poor John... Ana snored too and apparently it hasn't stopped. I hope for John's sake that this is just a temporary symptom of my condition and that it doesn't last beyond BB's birth. Even Jackson can't take the noise and leaves the bedroom to find refuge in the guest room now.

My Uncle Ken and Aunt Brenda told me that grampa used to say "The first child can come at any time, the second ALWAYS takes nine months!". If grampa was right, John and Jackson will get their reprieve a little early.
