Week 11

Week 11
This was the week of our first real doctors appointment with Dr. J since we found out we were pregnant again. Every appt up this point had just been a sonogram to confirm the pregnancy. Again, I was very nervous to go the appt because I knew things could still go wrong and at any minute we could get bad news. We were called back to the exam room and Dr. J came in and just talked with us for a while asking me what kind of symptoms I was experiencing and she assured me that it was all very normal. She then used the fetal doppler and we got to hear the heartbeat of our little miracle for the first time! It was amazing, Craig and I were both so happy and relieved that everything was normal. Up to this point we still really had not to been telling people about the pregnancy and Dr. J assured us that we were past the danger period and it was time to be excited and start sharing the news! It was like she lifted a giant weight off of my shoulders by saying this. At the end of our wonderful appointment Dr. J dropped a huge bomb on us telling us that she too is pregnant and due the week before me. She said she would work up until her due date but not past it and therefore recommended that we start thinking about changing doctors sometime through the process. It really stinks because I really like Dr J and after already switching from Dr Herr I don’t want to switch again. Craig and I agreed that we were both comfortable with seeing Dr J as long as we could and then switching to someone towards the very end of the pregnancy. I figure that at birth time I will just want someone that knows how to get the baby out and I don't really care who it is. I don't know what I really think about all of this, maybe I am making the wrong decision, I don't know.
