Okay, just the other day I was freaking out because it was my first appointment and I totally hate needles..Etc! So, I went to my 1st appt this morning and it was pretty painless. Well, other than the fact it took 4 hours, it was not all that bad! They did do a pap though! I guess it is out weighed by the fact that we got to see the baby's heart beat. It is only 1/2 cm long. My due date is june 21, 2005. Wow, I have a long way to go! Just thought I would give the update.

Lol yall! The whole baby is 1/2 cm long. And I guess it took 4 hours because I had to go to a different floor of the doctors office to get each thing done. On top of that, all these other mommies were in there at the same time. I live in kansas city so the office I go to is pretty busy!
