On the day that we turned 8 weeks, we had our first prenatal appointment with the Athens Regional Midwives!!
We went in and spoke to the social worker so that she was sure we were both sane, and then I talked to a midwife named Tere (pronounced "Terry", not "Tear", Natalie!!). She was GREAT!! I told her my medical history and then she asked me if I wanted to do some tests at my next prenatal that checks to see how likely we are to have a baby with Cystic Fibrosis, Downs Syndrome, etc. We said no and there was NO pressure! It was great! Then she asked if we wanted to have an ultrasound done at the next appointment. When we said that we didn't, she TORE UP the form and said, "No problem! We don't even have to look at this anymore!"
It was so nice.
Then I peed in a cup and they drew some blood and David and I were on our way!!
Here are a couple of pictures we snapped on the way out from our appointment, and my 8 week picture!!!
Ain't he a cutie??
This one is a little blurry - it was rainy. 8 weeks!!
