See Ya First Tri

So, according to my nifty little pregnancy widget I have embedded in the sidebar, we are quickly nearing the end of the first trimester (or, in my case with Fletcher, a little over halfway done, which I pray is not the case this time around).

Angie originally made her first OB appointment for last Thursday, but forgot that she was working the Wednesday night prior (for those who don't know her personally, she works nights as an RN in the post-partum unit in the hospital where she will be delivering the baby) so a Thursday appointment would not work. So she rescheduled for next Thursday, December 18th. I don't plan on going to every OB appointment, but I think they will be doing an ultrasound at this one, so I will be there. I also have a list of questions to ask her OB, which Angie is not all that happy about, but as I have said before, it is in my nature to ask a million questions.

Angie reports that she is feeling better. The nausea has moved from constant to intermittent and her energy level is increasing, although I was over at her house today for our second annual family cookie bake and exchange and I could tell she is still understandably dragging a bit. Remember she already has very active 5 and 3-year-old boys at home, not to mention the pregnancy.

Next week should be a fun one for me. Fletcher has his 2-year-old well baby pediatrician appointment on Tuesday, an ENT follow-up appointment to check on his new tubes on Wednesday (yes, I was supposed to follow up 2 weeks after his mid-October surgery, oops) and then Angie's appointment on Thursday. In the not-so-distant past, three doctors appointments in one week wouldn't have been that peculiar for us. Thankfully that is no longer the case. So, if anyone out there is still reading this blog, check back at the end of next week for the OB update.
