So far away...
Posted: 02-07-08 16:22pm

Cool Well, good news is the doctor's office called to schedule my first appt. Bad news is I don't go until March 6th and that is JUST for paperwork...Sad I know I shouldn't be bummed because that is about the typical week marker (7.5 wks then) to go...but it just seems SO far away!

Anyone have any advice about how to pass the time? Lol!

Try making twins?

lol.

When I got pregnant my bff told me not to have sex unless I wanted multiples. She honestly thought that's how twins are conceived!

That's so strange, but I've heard of it before that a dr. won't see you until you're farther along. My dr. saw me for both babies right away, like no more than a week after I called.

It'll FLY! Especially if you work!!

Try not to stress. Everything will be GREAT!

Oh, and you'll prob get some blood/urine work done that day too!!!

Maybe you could start taking some prenatals! Or start making a list of things you need to register for!!!

Get yourself some prenatals, that folic acid is so important in the beginning, then get a good pregnancy book and start reading about what's going on in there ^^. The good news is that you'll probably get your second appointment not long after the paper work one.

Register for a swing! My god my baby swing is a freaking life saver. Sometimes when Jay's colicky that's all that will calm her down!

I printed out a nine month calendar from the internet that had a day by day explanation of what was happening to the embryo, then fetus, etc., etc. I hung it on my wall, it was huge! Everyday I could look at it and see exactly what day I was and what was going on.

It was personalized with my due date, also, and it was right!

P.S. Maybe that was a little like watching water boil, though, and maybe it would make it longer, I don't know.

Betsy- how far along were you when you find out?
I do need to make a list of things we will need...great idea!!

For me, waiting for that first appointment was like an eternity. But after that, it went by SOOOO fast, and now my baby is over 7 months old!!! Sad

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Any morning sickness yet?
