First Doctors Appointment

We went to our first doctors appointment Tuesday. Again, we have chosen to go to the Liberty Tree Midwife group. They have already been a wonderful blessing for me with the morning sickness. I wish that I could says that the sick days are behind me...but I can't. I can say that I have been taking medication that has been helping me manage it much better than when I was pregnant with Eleanor.
The appointment was mainly just taking blood and backgroud infomation. Being that I am only 9 weeks, they doubted that they would be able to hear the heartbeat, but we did hear it. It was so comforting and makes it much more real to hear the first heartbeat. My midwife said that hearing the heartbeat this early is a good sign that we are progressing quickly past the miscarriage zone. Eleanor and John were both at the appointment and Eleanor was very well behaved.
