Nine Muses

I had my first prenatal visit today, with the prenatal nurse. (I won’t see the ob until June 5, when I’ll be nearly 10 weeks along. It was the earliest visit they had.) I have a pile of paperwork to read through, though the nurse often was backing up what I’d already read.

She said they’ll do a sonogram at the next visit, and warned me that it’ wouldn’t be the tummy kind like you see in the movies. Fortunately, I was already prepared for that. She confirmed that J can go to that visit with me, so if he can stomach it, he’ll get to see the heartbeat right then. If not, she says I get pictures to take home.

Maybe I’ll take up scrapbooking. Hah.

Symptomatically, I’m not that bad off. I have some queasiness, but have found that not letting my stomach get entirely empty helps with that. Really, it hasn’t been that bad anyway. I had said to some folks last week that I wasn’t having mood swings, but I seem to be today, so people might want to watch out! I am, however, shopping for a sports bra. These painful things keep getting in the way. Ouch.
