Just had our first appointment.

[gretchenindisguise]

Just had our first appointment. Everything looks good. Measuring with O date. Saw the heartbeat. Only one in there. Whew.

I need to redo my ticker. I was guesstimating oct 28th but oct 30th is the new official date.

[MrsDarcy]

What wonderful news. Congrats!

[smock]

Congrats! Should we start rooting for a Halloween baby?

[picksthemusic]

Yay! So happy for you!

[IndiaInk]

Yay! Congrats! My husband was so bummed when they said "there's just one in there". He was hoping for twins. I was relieved.

[Amy]

That's great, congrats!

[centralsquare]

gretchenindisguise, congratulations! Super exciting day.

I was also hoping for TWO. Especially after being so miserable the first two months. I don't want to go through that again!

No! One of my best friends was born on Halloween. It's awful. Always gets looked over

[gretchenindisguise]

I was so worried about two. I even delayed signing my lease because if it was two then one more year here wouldn't have worked.

And I feel sorry for my older kid. I missed Halloween last year because of a stupid conference and now we both might miss Halloween because of a new kid. So let's just hope for an early November baby. That works for me.

Congrats! Seeing/hearing the heartbeat is awesome!

[aqualuv]

Congrats!

[Odonata]

Congrats! I got my due date yesterday and I'm October 17th. That was what I estimated and I jumped and clapped when he told me like I guessed the right number of jelly beans in a jar or something. Lol.

[Odonata]

Oh and the twin thing? H and I both were hoping for twins. One shot deal for a family. It was so hard to get this one and we want more than one. Plus my H is a twin and so is my grandmom.

Also I had two eggs this time around so it was very possible.

AND Oct 17 is my grand mom's birthday so how cool to have twins on her and her sisters birthday?

[melsamoony]

Hearing the heartbeat and seeing the baby is really the best thing ever. Congratulations!

Yeah, I think we would have welcomed twins with our first pregnancy. But going from 1 to 3 in a tiny two bedroom apartment would have given me heart palpitations.

[pinotgrig]

Congrats!! That's excellent news!

[hillarywhitney]

Yay for a good first appointment!

[kristie]

I am so happy for you! Just sad we aren't doing it "together" this time. I still think of you as my pregnancy buddy. Weird? That's cool.

[Yankees21]

Great news!! Congrats

I agree with you. I still think of jen as my pregnancy buddy too, but then she went and had 2 extra kids before I got pregnant again. Damn it all!

[mannah]

That's great news, yes!!

[pixiedust]

Yay, congrats!

[mandymay]

Congratulations! Wasn't it a relief to find out there was only one in there? I'm not an awesome infant person and the thought of taking care of two at a time terrifies me (I have major respect for parents of multiples). Congratulations again on a heartbeat and a good first doctor's visit!

[gretchenindisguise]

Thanks everyone!

I didn't know she had two more!

She has a little girl that is about 2 now, and a little boy who is 1 month.

Congrats!

[Blue Moon]

Great news!

[Bonita]

Yay Congratulations! I don't go to the doctor for another two weeks, but I'm anxious to see what they say about my due date. I'm estimating it's Nov. 15th

I was nervous too, but it went by surprisingly fast. I hope it goes by fast for you too.

[shekels1222]

After "does the baby look healthy?", "Is there just one?" was my second question when I was pregnant with DS.
My BFF just found out she was pregnant wih twins at the time and I was nervous!

Glad that milestone is over for you and went so well! Congrats!
