First Doctor's Visit

We went for our first doctor's appointment this morning. We decided to go to Dr. Labban here in Bloomington based on a good recommendation from a valued source. Also, the other two options in town operate with a group system and I really just don't like the idea of not knowing which doctor we'll get when I go into labor.

I thought we'd get an ultrasound today, but no such luck. It was basically a meet and greet. He normally does a PAP test at these, but I just had one in March, so no need to do that again. But they estimated our due date at February 1st and answered all our questions.

I think I'm really going to like him. He seems to take a laid-back approach to pregnancy. Like, "Hey, you're just pregnant. No big deal." Which I find to be really reassuring and in line with how I feel about it. I mean, this pregnancy is a big deal to me. I'm going to be a mom and it's going to be life-changing for sure, but I mean, it's just pregnancy. Women have been having babies forever. No big deal. If that makes sense.

Anyway, we get to go back next week for the actual ultrasound. I'm really excited. I just can't wait to hear the little baby's heartbeat and know everything is going okay in there.
