So I had my first appointment today at the doctors, and it went really well. They gave me a book on pregnancy, did the whole family history thing for both me and my boyfriends family. Then did an overall exam, checked my breast, breathing, did a pap smear, and internal exam.

I go tomorrow or friday to get my prenatal blood work done and I have an ultrasound on friday to see how far along I am. I am sooooo excited.

My mom and family are really excited now, my mom keeps saying wouldnt it sooo cool if you had twins and im like uhhh NOO Shocked

I'm glad the appointment went okay today. Do you like your doctor? I hope the ultrasound on Friday looks wonderful. It must be so exciting! Will your bf be able to come with you so that if the heartbeat is visible you'll be able to see it together? I don't know about you, but I hate doing anything involving hospitals alone. It would be nice to have him there.
