July 2014 Moms

Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy...

YUP. I just quoted Eminem to all of you. GOOD DAY!

Hi. I'm new! I got my BFP yesterday! My EDD is July 24th which is the day Harry Potter received his letter from Hogwarts, I'LL THANK YOU.

I'm 25 and my husband is 26. We have two children already (Technically, they're my stepchildren, but I love them like they are my own. And yes, their mom and I get along. We're close friends!) and C will be eight when this baby arrives and T will be five.

I'm a parenting blogger/freelance writer and will be a stay-at-home mom. I guess, really, I'll be a WAHM, but my work takes me about ten hours per week to complete, so I'm going to try and manage those deadlines when my husband's home to help. We live in a small town of about 400 just an hour south of Atlanta.

I like classic television, baking, quoting really vulgar movie lines and twinkle lights.

And, so this is more like a post than a plain ol' intro, when are you all having your first appointments? My husband's great-aunt is a midwife and has delivered ALL of his siblings, cousins and all of their children over the past thirty years. I, obviously, am seeing her, so when my husband called her yesterday, she booked me an appointment for TODAY at 1! I'll be five weeks tomorrow, but I'm kind of freaking out. I'll be going alone and um, *knock on wood*, but I've never had medical issues or needed to see anyone, so the thought of blood draws and everything are making me queasy. I know, LABOR'S GOING TO BE FUN.

What can I expect during the first appointment?

I can't wait to get to know all of you! *confetti*

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.

  • LMAO...I started rapping the rest in my head..welcome! You will be asked how you feel, get an echo and go over do and don'ts. The big one will come at about 20 weeks. You might get some blood test done too.

  • Whhaaaat! I must've missed your BFP post when I lurked on TTGP! Congrats!!!!!!
  • I just came over from TTC yesterday, and even though I wasn't there long, it's nice to see someone I recognize! Congratulations! My 1st appt is on Dec 6. For my first appt for my LO, I peed in a cup, had some blood drawn, had a Pap smear, and got lots of papers to read/fill out. They also scheduled me for a dating ultrasound. The BFP I had before that I miscarried, so they also talked to me about having betas drawn for the first 10 days or so. Since my last pregnancy was successful, I don't know if this time around they'll have me do the betas, and I'm also hoping that I won't have to have a Pap smear because I just had my annual in September.

  • Congrats and welcome! I live in GA too! About 30 min west of Atlanta. It's hard to say what she'll do at your first appt. My first appt is always just a pee test for their confirmation and then talking about do's/don'ts etc. 5 weeks could be too early to hear a heatbeat yet if that is something they try to do at their first appts. Good luck!

    Everyone is welcome


  • Congrats!! My first appt isn't until 8 weeks and it's just a sit-down with the nurse to go over paperwork and stuff. I don't have an u/s until 10 weeks. At not even 5 weeks she'll probably just have you pee in a cup or maybe draw blood for betas, if she does that. GL!
  • Awesome!! Congrats! Another TTGP'er!

  • Congrats and welcome! I assume I've found a fellow July 2014 Potterhead?

  • OMG the Harry Potter reference... <3

    I have a "pregnancy interview" on Friday. They said they'll talk about what to expect money-wise with my insurance, go over health history, and do-s and don't-s. I'm also assuming that they'll do a blood test or something to confirm the pregnancy (hopefully?)

    It's possible that I'm a week less pregnant than my LMP would suggest so I'm hoping to talk about that with them as well!

  • Congrats and H&H 9 months!  My first appt was this past Monday and mostly just to go over basic prenatal care, what to do in an emergent/ urgent situation, and paperwork with the nurse.  My first appt with my OB will be when I'm just over 8 weeks... when I'll be getting the first u/s.  :)
