11 weeks & 2 days

Today was my first visit with my new ob/gyn.  Dr. Landry is great and I thank "Monkey" and my friend Angel for the referral.  Dr. L is very liberal, which I love, and I think we are going to get along GREAT!  He told me that I can eat whatever I want including sushi!  I'm not risking it though.  I'll go to the American Pregnancy Association website and do some research first.  I like that I have control over how conservative I'm going to be.  I don't like being micro-managed!  Also, he said I can labor any which way that I want. Yay!   Heck maybe I can get to do a water birth after all.  I'm waiting for the birth plan stage to ask that question.  I didn't want to come off too pushy on the first visit.

Aside from all of that, I did get another quicky ultrasound so that they could see the heartbeat, which we did, and we got to see the baby hiccup!  It was like a reverse sit-up, or the beginning of a back flip.  It was so cute!  I wish Robert could have seen it, but he had to work late today.  

One last bit of excitement ... I bought a couple of pairs of maternity pants!  Everyone should wear them, they are SO comfortable!  I know it is still early, but I am showing (mostly fat), but I can't suck it in anymore if I try so I know it is baby too.  Since the FET on January 29th, I've gained fourteen pounds.  For the sake of remembering, in case I never see 140 pounds again, I was 152 at the time of the FET.
