Today, we had our first appointment for the baby...the "OB Orientation!" Basically, it's a bunch of pregnant women and their husbands (or father, in one poor teenage girl's case) in a room together, learning about all the basics of prenatal care - nutrition and vitamins, exercise, and selecting a doctor. David and I decided to select the "Blue Team" option, which basically means that we will get all of our prenatal care from one doctor, and will be seen at all those appointments on base. Then, when it's time to deliver, that same doctor will meet us downtown at a private labor and delivery suite (with a whirlpool bathtub!) at the Nebraska Medical Center. We could've chosen to receive all our prenatal care at an off-base provider, but we decided to go this route so that David would be able to make it to more of the appointments (he really wanted to be there as much as possible!).
Other than that, nothing much to report. I've been feeling great (no morning sickness yet!)...just a little more tired than usual. I'm taking my vitamins religiously, and for the past couple of days, I've been hitting the gym for some aerobic exercise (walking and swimming). Our next appointment is Monday, Jan. 28th, when we'll get our chart started and have some basic bloodwork done. I'll make sure to keep you all up to date!!
