Hurry up and wait

Is that the theme of pregnancy?

I made my first two OB appointments yesterday, but they're not until I'm 10 weeks along. The first (August 17) is with the OB nurse who will do blood work and other fun tests. The second isn't until August 20, and it's the big one : sonogram and meeting with the physician. That is the appointment I'm most anxious for because it will determine the baby's viability. I believe we may also hear the heartbeat for the first time!

In the meantime, we've decided to keep this a secret, and it just may kill me. :) I want to share the news with everyone, but I also want to wait until the greatest chance of miscarriage is past.

I don't really feel pregnant yet, but I suppose I can't expect too. I hear morning sickness usually begins around week 6, so I'm going to try to enjoy the next few days. :)

I also began taking my prenatal vitamins. Dude, those things are horse pills! I have no idea what's in them, but it's supposed to give the baby a developmental boost. On a nutritional note, I had no idea how many foods I had to avoid. No coffee!? Bah. How am I going to make it through those long morning meetings?

If anything, this pregnancy will force me to adopt some seriously healthy eating habits.
