OB appt

Well, I had my first OB appt yesterday... I was hoping to have an ultrasound but since I had had several they didn't think it was necessary now but she said I could have 1 in 2 weeks. So I called this seperate lab where I will be doing the ultrasounds/sonograms and they have a minimum of a 3 week wait b/c of backup... Which sucks-a-roni, but I guess I have no choice.. So onto the OB appt- I went in, we discussed my medical background (which is pretty small), then just overall stuff about what I knew/didn't know, she tried to sell me on some additional screening tests. I am going to think about it. Then she did a wonderful body exam (if you are female you know what I am talking about), then I had copious amts of blood drawn.

I had originally persuaded her to accept my original bloodwork for the SAME EXACT things, but apparently once you are preggers they have to take ALL the tests again for the SAME EXACT things. That didn't make me happy and I feel like I kinda showed it to her. So overall I was there for abt an hr and 15 mins. I really wanted an ultrasound- thats pretty much why I went. But I was spoiled by my posh fertility center w/their multiple ultra sounds. I am considering paying out of pocket for another ultrasound sooner than 3 weeks, but that might take some fancy footwork seeing as I am out of town next week...

I am gonna be doing a bit of traveling coming up and I just have to prepare my body for it. I mean Atlanta for Thanksgiving, then my mega trip in December (Caribbean, LA, Hawaii, Las Vegas). Soo we shall see. I just have to take it nice and easy. The good thing though is b/c of my age I don't have to have alot of additional screenings/tests, etc.. But still I was slightly miffed that I didn't get an ultrasound!

Okie, thats it for now... I'm 9 weeks, 4 days :)
