First appointment & cool new doctor

This morning I went in for my first OB appointment. I called them a few days ago and they asked that I come in ASAP for bloodwork, I guess that's what they do when there's been a previous loss.
So I went in and got to meet the new doc on staff. She was very nice and very supportive, I really think I'm going to like her. I'm also happy that now I like all 4 of the people on staff, the 2 doctors and the 2 midwives........it's a relief, cause in the past I have come to realize that if there is someone you don't like, it will probably end up being the one who shows up in the delivery room! LOL
The appointment was basic, just confirmed the pregnancy with a urine test and then took a gallon of blood. In 2 weeks I go in for my dating ultrasound and the week after that for my first "official" OB appointment.
Her little "wheel" calculator thingie messed me up though.
She put me at 5 weeks 1 day but moved my due date to October 19th, when I thought it was the 22nd....whatever. The dating ultrasound will fix that up!
So that's all on my part, I'm still feeling fine, just a little bloated.
More updates to come.
