Health Education Appointment

Dearest Little One-
This morning, we went off to the doctor's office again. This time was a little different since we never even saw the doctor! First we meet with a lady who handles the insurance & billing stuff for the doctors. We had to prepay our portion of the bill based a normal regular pregnancy & delivery. I hope and pray that everything remains "normal". Then we meet with the health educator, Amy, and one of my favorite nurses, Anna. We talked about our families history and most of the things that will occur during the next eight or so months. She gave us lots on information about the upcoming ultrasounds, parenting classes, and breastfeeding. It feels good to have sort of a plan and know when things are going happen. The next time I see you, you will be 12 weeks old! I can't imagine having to wait another month, but that's only a fraction of the time I have to wait to hold you. So I can be patient. After all that talk was over, I headed over to the lab to give blood which will be screened in a couple prenatal tests. It's nothing I am worried about, just routine stuff. Our next appointment is April 7th. It will be a full exam and also the time that we discuss the birth plan with the doctor. I can't really fathom talking about a birth plan at this point, but I guess we will start thinking about it. My plan is to give birth and then take you home a few days later. Could it be that simple?
All my love,
Mom
