Doctors, Doctors, Doctors

Today I had to go in and see Dr. R., who has been treating me for Panic Disorder for the past 7 years. (A lot of you probably didn't know this. Oh, well. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Now you know why I seem so nervous all the time!)

Anyway, I am on 2 medications right now to help with symptoms; and one, I was on when pregnant with Andrea, and everything was fine. The other, however, has more risks, so I wanted to go off it right away. Dr. R. agreed, and I'll be cutting down doses to zero over the next week or so. (So, if I seem extra jumpy, you'll know why!) He also said not to worry about the exposure baby has had so far, because I'm on a low dose, it's early, and we're cutting it off now. So, that was comforting to hear.

Other upcoming appointments: Dr. S. (diabetes doctor) on December 13; and first ultrasound (8 weeks) on December 20th. I am so excited for that one! I love ultrasounds, and seeing the Baby. It's reassuring, and makes it seem more real, especially when it's too early to feel movement or anything yet. :))
