No News Is Good News...
Well, nothing going on here to report. Just thought I'd check in. :)
We did some travelling over the weekend to see my parents, extended family and Bo's brother and SIL. We really enjoyed getting to see them all.
We started off with a "Sock Hop" to celebrate my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. It was really nice, with a full soda shop setup and poodle skirts all around. :) It was great to see everyone looking so happy and healthy.
Funny thing for me was all the people that came up to congratulate me. I really didn't expect that, as we are still so early in the process. It seems though that my mom and my aunt are both secure in the idea that everything will work out just fine. :)
The weird part was that total strangers (people from my aunt's church that I've never met) were coming up to me offering hugs and excitement. I guess everyone loves a pregnant lady. LOL It was really nice, but kinda weird.
One good thing... There were NO horrible baby/labor/miscarriage/deformity stories told. I guess it was such a merry occasion that no one felt like it was time to drag out all their family ghost stories.
After the festivities we went to dinner at Bosco's in Nashville - mmmm Pizza!!! They make the BEST pizza - it is very grown-up and sophisticated pizza with toppings like portabella mushrooms, smoked chicken, pesto, etc. They also have a great beer selection, but I didn't partake this time. :)
On Sunday we dropped by and had brunch with the BIL and SIL. We had a great time chatting and eating some great food at Noshville, in Nashville. I highly recommend it for brunch, but get there before the church crowd or there is a LONG wait.
Well, that's all the news that is news for now...
I have my 1st OB appointment tomorrow at 3 PM. I'm terribly nervous (expecting disaster, of course) and am starting to imagine all the horrible things that could have gone wrong since the last checkup. I'm trying not to focus on it though, as that won't change the outcome, right?
I don't think they will do an US tomorrow, but they might let me listen to the heartbeat, if I look pitiful enough. :( <--- sad face might work... don't know.
Well, I'll try to update you guys tomorrow on how the visit goes... Gotta go work now!

good luck with the OB appointment tomorrow! great to hear that all is well.
Your first OB appointment after graduating from the clinic? How great is that? I know that your scared and excited. I remember being in my OBGYN's office months ago staring at all the pg women with sadness wondering why I wasnt as blessed as them. The experience is so diff when you are one of them. You finally feel as if you belong. It's an amazing feeling.
I hope they let you hear the heartbeat, or see the sono. They might let you since this is your first OB app since you became pregnant.
Hope all is well! :)
Sounds like a fun weekend! Best of luck tomorrow!
love family gatherings! i have only the best memories from my grandparents' 50th.

Hey! You were in my neck of the woods!
I hope you enjoyed your OB appointment. It's a nice milestone.
