Nervous questions
So our first doctors visit is this afternoon. I am so nervous. I feel like I’m going in there for a performance. Hello, this is my body. This is my child. How are we doing? like there’s a grade involved. A+! like there should be applause at the grace of God to allow my body to do such a thing as start to grow a baby. like performing a clarinet solo in church, which I recently have done, and putting my all out there.. on the examining table for the doctor to look at.
Most of my nervousness, I think, comes from not knowing what to expect. I’ve never done this before. I’ve never seen an obgyn for anything other than a pap smear and a consultation to talk about getting pregnant. I’ve never met this doctor before. Will she do a sonogram? What is the difference between a sonogram and an ultrasound?
The other part of my nervousness is due to the fact that David and I will be arriving there at different times. I’ll be getting there at 1:30 to complete paperwork; Dave will be leaving his place of employment at 1:30 and will arrive probably around 2:00, when the appointment is supposed to start. I worry about too much.
Okay, so I’ll get the comments turned back on since I know a lot of you reading this have already had a child (or have one on the way!) and maybe had these same questions. The only thing is - I’m not planning on publishing this until after Thanksgiving and by then, the coupla nervous questions I have will have been answered.
