Cash or Charge?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

Today was Brenda’s first visit to the doctor. Before you get too excited, it was mostly to discuss billing and insurance. Gotta have our priorities straight, apparently.

Anyhoo, she filled out a bunch of paperwork and watched a 17-minute video on the do’s and don’ts of pregnancy. As it turns out, one of the don’ts is to avoid cat litter. So guess who’s going to be cleaning up after three smelly cats for nine months? It’s a conspiracy.

She also got a goodie bag filled with all sorts of stuff like pregancy and baby magazines, catalogs, coupon books and a little travel thingy for baby wipes and such.

And, oh yeah, they deduced that Brenda is about 5 weeks pregnant, and our “tentative” due date is April 19th. Don’t quote us on that until we’ve talked to the actual doctor, though. Other than that, things are going well so far. No morning sickness yet, which is a plus since morning comes for Bren at 4:30am. I’ve never been, but I hear it’s quite early :)

More updates as they come along. Official doctor’s visit is the 23rd.
