This morning I woke up and called the doctor to make sure everything was good for our appointment this afternoon. They told me for some reason I was not in the system. I about had a cow. They had sent me all the paper work and I even had a chart number, which they looked up and some other girl had been given that number. They told me I could come in on Monday to see the doctor I wanted to see. I told them NO WAY! I was coming today. Who could I see! My appointment got changed to 2:15 and was with Dr. Sellers. They told me I probably wouldn't get an ultrasound since the tech was out. I decided that I was not going to leave that office till they did some kind of ultrasound on me. I didn't need them to tell me I was pregnant. I already knew that :)
Taylor met me at the doctors office. I was so anxious I could barely sit still while we waited. We had a great visit with the nurse and Dr. Sellers. Everything looked good. He was so nice and did not make me feel rushed at all. I told him about the mix up this morning and that I was suppose to see a different doctor. I told him though that he was passing my test and if he really wanted to win us over he could by doing an ultrasound. I was so happy when he said he had already planned on doing on :)
Seeing the baby was truly amazing. He measured the baby to be 9 weeks 3 day. Which put me one day ahead. We got to see and hear the heart beat. It was so cool. Neither Taylor or I could say much.
So my report is everything looks good and the baby is growing away :) My next appointment is in a month and then he said we would find out the sex of the baby on our 18th week. We can not wait!
Taylor and I both walked out without the ultrasound pictures so I will have to post them later after I go back and pick them up. We are such ding dongs. :)

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...
SO FUN!!!!!!!!!
