I guess the nurse wasn't lying when she said the first appointment takes a long time! I was there about two hours. Nothing big happened, just lots of different tests and LOTS of questions. Thank god Brittany was with me she new the Burks family history and saved my butt!
I am 4 weeks 5 days along, which isn't very far at all...due July 2nd so I won't have to spend too many hot days pregnant, with any luck. They took 8 tubes of blood, which seemed excessive, but I guess there are quite a few tests to run and he ran a whole thyroid panel too. Apparently having hypothyroidism during pregnancy isn't hard to deal with so that is good news! All of those results should be in on Monday with any luck.
My next appointment is Monday, November 23rd the before we leave for Texas for Thanksgiving. I will be 8-9 weeks along then and if everything goes well at that appointment I am planning on telling my family then so I can tell my brother and his wife and my grandparents in person. Plus, we are taking after the Rankin's this year and doing Thanks-Christmas so that will be a nice little surprise for everyone! They will be shocked and I can't wait! We plan on telling Mike and Stacy right when we get back from Texas. We would do it before, but we are unsure how they would handle themselves on Thanksgiving with Sophia and Henry around. Extended family the plan is Christmas Eve. Hoping we can hold out that long!
Well time to get bundled up for Devin's last softball games of the year! Its going to be cold. I am secretly hoping that Mike and Stacy don't come out so I won't spill the beans, but if they do come I think I can handle it!
