2 more checks off the list- and a great video!

WE TOLD MY PARENTS THE BIG NEWS!!!
This video is fantastic- my parents are such an old married couple- you can tell, and I love that i have this on tape.
Before you watch- the gift we gave them was this:



I told them it was a gift from my sister and I that they had to open before we met up with her in the city- and I had promised her I would tape their reaction. (We were going out for their birthdays/mortgage burning celebration).





2nd check off the list- 1st prenatal doctor's appointment. Not too much to say about this except she told me I need to control my anxiety- my blood pressure when I arrived was 150/90. They took it again at the end of the appointment- 122/76. Because it was high I now have to do a 24 hour urine collection for protein tests- but she seems to think it was anxiety. I had 13 vials of blood taken, go back for a blood pressure test in 2 weeks during which they will do an actual exam since I will be past 8 weeks by then, and that is about it. I tried to ask about miscarriage rates, and the heartbeat, and was the heartrate a concern- she said sure it is slow, but she doesn't even expect to see a heartbeat at all at 5 weeks 6 days (my u/s measurements) so that it means nothing, just that it was early... and as for miscarriage- who knows. If it is going to happen, it is, and if not, then not... nothing I can do (within reason) will change this outcome.

I was given an official due date- June 13, 2009- 1 day off from my FF chart, not too bad.
