First visit to the doc..

Well, Cindee and I went to the doctor today to find out what the deal is with our little wonder. Turns out the rascal is ALMOST a centimeter long. You all know me, Im a tad on the aggressive side so when the midwife (or who I THOUGHT was the midwife) comes in she starts talking to Cindee and totally ignores me, Im thinking to myself "uhhh hello lady, the papa is right here you havent even introduced yourself wtf!". So in my aggressive manner I tell her as she's walking out the door "Mind if we get something out of the way, Im Art Tarsha, the father". She kind of looks back at me and is like Ohhh, Hi Im "so and so" the nurses assistant. Of course I felt like an ass.

Anyhow the midwife finally comes in, and immediately introduces herself "Im pretty sure the nurses assistant told her, hey Cindee's husbands a jerk, make sure you introduce yourself before he bites your head off". I was feeling pretty humble at that point so the introduction was cool =), She administered the ultrasound, and talked to us about the process. We asked her how she felt about epidural (sp?) she told us the pregnancy is yours, unless you are sitting on that babies head you can have one whenever you want. That was a relief to us because of a bad experience my sister Carli had with a hippy midwife in the past. The midwife had a very dry approach to her jokes which of course I can dig, I laughed at pretty much everything she said. She seems very helpful and we're happy she's the one overseeing this pregnancy.

So without further adeu heres the "her/him". Pay attention the left hand side when she moves the camera in you can see the heart beat. Our next ultrasound will hopefully be slightly more than a blob =)
