today i met the woman who will deliver our first baby.

i got up early this morning for my appointment with dr. newman at valley women’s health. i found her online back in december knowing i was due for my annual pap and also that i wanted to see someone new who could give me some pre-pregnancy advice – what vitamins to take, how much weight i should lose, if i could bring ryan with me for our first appointment, etc. i may have had to wait three months for the appointment and 45 minutes for the nurse to call my name, but patience is a virtue and dr. newman was worth the wait.

she’s soft-spoken, she has kind eyes, and i can already tell she’s incredibly good at what she does. she recommended i either continue taking my multivitamin and add a folic acid supplement, or quit taking the regular multivitamin and switch to a prenatal vitamin. since i have plenty of one-a-day’s left, i think i’ll stick with those and stop by gnc tomorrow for the folic acid.

anyway, i really like her, and it’s good to know who i’m going to be calling when the HPT comes back positive.
