We like her...

The visit to the doctor on Friday went pretty well. It didn't start out too great, though. The appointment was at 9:00 so we got there around 8:50. We didn't actually go back until a little after 10:00. It was quite frustrating. It wouldn't have bothered me so much except that it was first thing in the morning. Once we were back with the nurse, I asked if that was normal. She said they had to do a procedure that was supposed to only take 15 minutes but ended up taking over an hour. Hopefully, they'll be closer to on schedule next time.

Anyway, we talked to the nurse for a while and answered all the health-type questions that they wanted to know. Then the doctor came in and I got to ask her my list of questions. I really liked her answers in general. Matt and I felt very comfortable with her and think she fits well with our style. She's quite layed back and willing to support whatever we want to do in relation to labor and delivery. The answer that I liked the best was to my question "Do you encourage or allow alternate birthing positions?" She said that she encourages it and has delivered babies in all kinds of positions. I'm glad for that because in hind sight, I think it would have helped to move things along when Nathan was born if I would have changed positions. I think some male doctor who didn't want to be inconvenienced decided that it would be good to have babies delivered with women lying on their backs.

So...all that to say that we liked the doctor. I'm glad, because I don't know who we would have tried next. Oh yeah...before too long we'll have an ultrasound. They don't routinely do them at this point, however. I told the nurse that I really wanted to have one. The doctor said that she thought I felt like I was 10-12 weeks (I was at 9 weeks) so we could have an ultrasound to check. I'm not sure if I really felt big or if she said that so I could have the ultrasound. However, she did mention that if I were big it could mean that there were twins. We'll see. :)

That's about it for now. We're on vacation, so there probably won't be any updates for the next week or so. Oh yeah...I have been feeling much better the last three days. I hope my days of icky-ness are gone!
