Week 5 - we think

I had my first doctor's appointment on Wednesday morning. I was nervous because it was a new doctor, and I was hoping that the two tests weren't wrong. Chris stayed home and went with me, which I really appreciated.

The doctor's visit was great. I love my doctor. He has a good sense of humor, kind manner, and took lots of time to talk with me. The nurse said that I was about 5 weeks along, but after an exam, the doctor said I may be as far as 8 weeks along. We have an ultrasound scheduled for the week of Thanksgiving and will find out more then.
