First Doctor's Appointment

I had my first doctor's appointment on Monday, July 16th. I told Brian not to come because I figured I was only about 4 weeks and there is not much they can do at that point other than give you a blood test to confirm you are pregnant. Plus I knew they were going to weigh me and after a weekend with the Petersons, no man needs to see his wife's post-binge weight.
After answering all the routine questions, the nurse practitioner decided to give me an ultra-sound to determine exactly how pregnant I was. She mentioned that since I was not very far along, we wouldn't be able to see much so my expectations were low. Imagine my surprise when as soon as she put the monitor to my belly the heart beat popped up! I was completely overwhelmed and my first thought was how disappointed Brian was going to to be. It turns out that we were already 7 weeks pregnant! This means that we got pregnant the first month we started trying, on our one year wedding anniversary to be exact. Needless to say, Brian has been congratulating "himself" quite a bit (you all know the specific area to which I am referring). The heart beat seemed to be pretty fast which is leading me to believe it will be a girl. Poor Brian, between Pearl, me and a baby girl...he will be toast!
