F/U to doc appt
So I went to a doc a little over an hour from here (SIL's doc) yesterday. Will was able to go with me, this was my first visit I thought it would just be a reg exam talk to the new doc feel him out etc. Well he actually did an ultrasound himself and we got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat! I really liked the new doc he actually went to school w/ my previous doc and said that is who his mom goes to!
After the visit Will and I were both over the moon, he was great. It was nice to have him by my side and I thanked him for making me step out of my box and for being there for me and we both shed a tear. It made me realize how much he really wants to be there for every appt and how selfish I would be to take that away from him.
Anyways thanks for all of your feedback the other day it is nice to hear what you want but it's better to hear what you need to (even though Will had told me all the same things). It is still going to be EXTREMELY hard for me to be so far away from my family, it's been a constant struggle for me since we moved.
So besides all that, the baby looked great, hb was 161-165 and strong! The baby measured right at 7 weeks but he said the next u/s will give a better due date. We go back in one month for another u/s 
or at least that is what I think he told me.
Re: F/U to doc appt
This would be really hard for me too. I wasn't feeling well this morning and my Mom came over and watched Brin for a bit so I could take a nap. I was thinking what would I do if I didn't have that option. With DH job I know we will probably move away eventually and I dread it. I am glad to hear you had such a positive experience with the new doctor, that must be a weight off your back.
While it is very hard being away from my family I do still have his. His granny lives next door and while she can't do much she can watch ERP for 15-20 min if I need a shower or just need a lil break and some quiet. My MIL also lives 2 min from our house and she doesn't work and we see her daily, she takes ERP just about anytime I need her to like yesterday she kept her while we went to our dr visit! So I am lucky that I have family I just wish I had my mom closer to me!
And yes it is a huge relief to have that first visit out of the way! I am looking fwd to getting to know the new doc better!
