Today's Checkup

So no pictures. The doc said that I look to be right where I should be, there seemed to be nothing to worry about. My uterus is the right size for being 10 weeks pregnant, though we couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler yet, which the doc also wasn't worried about; he said after 12 weeks it should be much more audible. The doc also said that if I wanted I could make an appointment with radiology to have an "early" ultrasound done, but he didn't think there was any need to. Otherwise I will get the standard one at 20 weeks. I've been thinking about it, and I think I'll just go ahead and wait, unless something happens. So everything seems fine, though he did have me do an early glucose test, since diabetes runs in our family, and since my mom had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with me. So I did that today, too, and it wasn't as bad as the horror stories I've heard about the glucose solution they make you drink. It mostly tasted like orange Tang, just sweeter. It was cold, which I'm sure helped a lot - it probably would have been disgusting if it had been warm.

Anyway, so not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be, but all good.
