It has been a week since I had my blood work done, and as of this morning I hadn’t heard from my doctor’s office yet. I called this morning and basically said it has been a week since my blood work was completed and I am new to all of this and don’t know what to expect, so can you fill me in? The girl put me on hold for a while, then came back and said, “There were a few tests that the lab did not run, and we’re holding your blood so that it can be tested for those few things. So we can make an appointment to see the doctor again in about a month if you want.” I nearly started crying, because almost every single appointment I have ever had with the man was pointless and left me completely unsatisfied. So then the girl says, “Wait a minute, let me see if we’ve scheduled your first OB appointment yet. Oh! Yes we have. It is scheduled for March 24th at 10:00 AM.”

Jiminy Christmas. Were they ever going to call me to inform me of my appointment? But this is weight off the shoulders because, while they apparently did not test my blood for everything they were supposed to, they did test it for pregnancy because otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten the OB appointment. So yeah, in about six weeks we’ll get to hear the heartbeat and all that jazz.

I felt a tiny bit nauseous today. I gagged when I brushed my teeth, and for a few hours I felt mildly sick, almost the same feeling as eating too much food and just feeling BLECH. The feeling subsided after I ate a bit.
