I love my OB!!

So last night we went to see my OB, Dr. Gallo. I was so nervous about seeing him since I haven't seen him since the D&C and the last time we spoke he had deliverd such terrble news. As soon as I walked in the nurse smiled at me. She remember who I was and it seemed like she was happy I was back. She called us in right way. She took down all my new information. I explained to her about the blood thinner and Dr. Alvarez. She took my blood pressure and my weight and than told me my due date is Nov.23rd. Just in time for Thanksgiving and hunting season. Chris is thrilled. She walked us to the room and congratulated us. By then I was starting to feel much better. Dr. Gallo walked in the room talking as usual. He is so kind and compassionate!!! He was happy to see us and congratulated us as well. He didn't ask many questions about my 6 months journey. He was happy about the blood thinner and baby aspirin. He said I can also take a regular vitamin instead of a prenatal since I am taking so much folic acid. He said he wants me to take in real easy for the first 12 weeks. No cleaning, no exercising, no lifting and if I start to spot again he is going to put me on bed rest for 24 hours. I am not complaining! He wants to see me every other week until the second trimester. I wish I could see him every week, but every other makes me happy as well. He will also determin when I will go back to Dr. Alvarez. After we did all of our conversing he turned on the ultrasound machine. I got a really nervous feeling in my stomach. I guess that is going to happen every time I have an u/s or when the Dr. checks for a heart beat with the doppler. He found the baby right away. He said the sack was perfectly round and the baby looked really good. The heart beat was 140 and we got to hear it this time. It was amazing. I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my face. He also said my fibroids are no where near the baby and he didn't think they would be a problem. He really took his time with us and I appreciated it. Neeless to say we left the office feeling really good!!!! Its the best I have felt in the past 6 months! I can't wait to go back on Monday.
