tests, tests, & more tests!

i had my first prenatal visit yesterday that consisted of peeing in my one millionth cup, being weighed for the hundredth time, having tons of information thrown at me, and being stuck with numerous needles without the nurse ever being able to draw blood.

so i had absolutely no idea what to expect at this appt so i didnt ask wade to come because i thought they were just taking more blood... i was wrong. the dr went over all of the tests they were going to run on my blood including the various optional tests that could be done to find out if our baby is susceptible to cystic fibrosis, down syndrome, ect. it was not the greatest thing to hear on your first 'big visit.' oh well, i guess they gotta tell you about all that stuff sooner or later... the only positive from the appt was getting prescription prenatals with a stool softener, ha ha!

the morning sickness has definitely come in and my lower back is killing me! so im not as lucky as i thought i was gonna be and completely skip out on any bad symptoms of pregnancy... ha ha, so much for wishful thinking!
