Today was our first doctor's appointment. (Well, we'd both been to see doctors before. Just not while the FP Gal was preggo.) Everything is good and healthy, no worries. The highlight was hearing the baby's heartbeat. 172 beats per minute, which is fine. It helped to have an actual trained medical professional tell us that we were pregnant. (Not that we were really doubting, but that's what experts are for, right?)
The due date is August 11th, so the FP Gal was advised to skip any water rides that day. Actually, the (very nice) doctor told her that she should schedule something fun to do that day so that she won't be disappointed if nothing happens. I'm not sure what could really distract her short of burning the house down. Which I'm not advocating, btw.
Anyway, she (the doctor) also told us that once they hear the heart that you're in pretty good shape so we can start telling people. As you know we jumped the gun, but consider yourself told.

Well then OFFICIAL congratulations are in order! :)
Excellent news! We go Monday so hopefully we will be hearing the heartbeat as well. Was it a trip?? I hear from some folks that is what really makes it feel real.
Big hugs to you and mama FP.
