Today was our first prenatal appointment. Dr. Reue (pronounced "Roya") said twice that I was definitely pregnant, then we saw the heartbeat and the little "turtle". We cried.

I got a 'Similac' journal from the first doctor visit and filled in their little prompts:

***I discovered I was pregnant on 9/3/09. Monza encouraged me to take the pregnancy test and Cilton was with me when the result revealed itself. This was Thursday, after lunch at the UT Club, at the Lovell house, in the kitchen. Robin, the nurse, confirmed on Friday, then I drove to Houston to go to Portland with my mom to see my bro.

***The first thing I did after finding out I was pregnant was laugh then doubt the accuracy of the test.

***The first people I told about my pregnancy were Cilton, Monza, and Fumika.
