My first prenatal appointment

I saw my MW (midwife) for the first time yesterday. It was a great appointment. I was there for over 2 hours, but had to wait about 20 minutes between my appointment and ultrasound. Yep, I got to see my little pumpkin seed again! He/she had a great heartbeat, 158 BPM! And measured 7w5d...giving me an EDD of 10/14/10. MW talked of inducing when I turn 39 weeks to avoid another supersize baby. I thought that was funny to talk about at the first visit, but I do not want to be induced, so hopefully that won't even be an issue. My first baby was 2 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 8oz. My second was 1 week early and weighed 9lbs 10oz. Both came on their own. I got my blood drawn which wasn't bad at all. And had the regular pap, and general health exam. I got a big first visit goodie bag and scheduled my next appointment in 3 weeks on 3/24/10. I'll be almost 11 weeks then. And the BIG NEWS!! The nurse called me at 8:01 this morning and told me that they already scheduled my ultrasound at the university hospital for May 13th! I'll be 18 weeks exactly and, if baby cooperates, should be able to find out if it is a he or a she! I am really excited to have a date to look forward to! The countdown is on!
