We had our first prenatal appointment today. It was funny and exciting. First we go to check in and the receptionist is explaining our healthcare costs. She says, "You'll owe $260 today." (meaning that was the co-pay for all of our prenatal care) Brett exclaims, "Whoa! How many visits will we have?!" She replies, "about 20" and Brett says, "That's expensive!" She is now laughing and says, "Today's charge covers it all." Brett says, "Oh, that's not bad then...I thought you were going to say you were going to charge us that much each time we came here. I was thinking, 'man, kids really are expensive!' " Both the patient in the waiting room and the receptionist were thoroughly amused at the new expectant dad. :)
We had our first ultrasound and saw this little tiny bean having a good ole' time, bouncing around it's new little home. The doctor says, "See that little guy jumping around? That's your baby. See that flicker of light? That's the heartbeat." What an amazing sight!!!
I sat there grinning like a fool the whole time. In fact, the doctor said, "You look so happy...like you are just going to pop!" Brett and I were both so stunned, we didn't ask a single question- not even "when are we due?"
