6 week ultrasound

I had my first doctor's appointment today. I was all nervous about it, like this was my first kid or something. It's really difficult for a self-proclaimed hypochondriac to be pregnant. Ever little twinge, cramp, or pain is all of a sudden a miscarriage. I thought that today's visit would make me feel better, I would see the baby's heart beating and know that everything was fine.

Wrong! All I got to see was an empty embryonic sac. Doctor shrugs it off and says it is too early to see anything. What does he know anyway? He takes some blood for some first visit tests and shoos me out the door. I go back in two weeks for a second ultrasound. TWO WEEKS? Are you kidding me? Do you realize how many diseases I can make up between now and then? Oh, the agony.

At least we told a few people today, Mom, Dad, Casey and Scot. We are keeping the list at these people until after the 8 week visit. We definitely won't tell Sam until then, she wouldn't quite get the whole concept of keeping it a secret.
