Doctor's Appointment #1

*Not an actual picture of our doctor.

Just had our first appointment with the Doc. She's great, I think we got a good one. Turns out we're about 10 weeks along, which is about 5 more than I thought. The Due Date is June 30th. I'm hoping it comes earlier and not later than that, as July 1st is our anniversary, July 3rd is Amy's B-day, and July 4th is July 4th.

Love trips to the hospital. First they give you an obnoxiously thick stack of forms to fill out that asks things like: "Have you or anyone in your family had a history of _____ (insert random disease)", "Do you have any food allergies", and "Have you had more than one sexual partner?" After filling this out you are psyched to get in and see the doctor, but instead you sit in a room with the assistant who asks such important questions as: "Have you or anyone in your family had a history of _____ (insert random disease)", "Do you have any food allergies", and "Have you had more than one sexual partner?" She then gives you a stack of literature, pamphlets, and advertisements, and leaves you to wait for the doctor. Finally the doctor comes in and asks such novel questions as: "Have you or anyone in your family had a history of _____ (insert random disease)", "Do you have any food allergies", and of course, "Have you had more than one sexual partner?" No kidding. That's seriously what happened. Apparently they're not allowed to read the form you just spent 20 minutes filling out. Probably a sanitary issue...

It was fun though. I'm way excited to be a dad. Probably more excited than Amy, but that's understandable in that I'm not the one who's uterus is doubling in size.
