1st Baby Appointment

Although this is not my first "rodeo" with going to a Second Life Maternity Clinic, I was still a ball of nerves. I think we all were. Tonight we had our first appointment and ultrasound. Outlaw of course went with me and Sadie and Flint came along as well, Sadie for support and Flint just cause I could call him Squirrel Boy the whole time...

I teleported to the clinic first then sent tp's to everyone else. The doctor landed on sim shortly after me. The clinic itself when you get there doesn't scream Hospital or anything else. It was actually like a platform with an open wall building with some seating and a teleport system. The Doctor, Ana, sent me a request on up to the clinic room. Once there, I looked around, then pulled everyone on up. There was a huge sectional couch for family to sit patiently(or impatiently) while the doctor talked to me and began the exam.

She asked me if this was my first pregnancy, how many pregnancies I have had, and then if I had any bleeding, nausea, or anything else concerning. One thing I should note is that when going through an SL pregnancy and through a clinic, it is very focused on role play, so everything gets asked. Of course everything, except my little tempers, has been pretty good.

So next step after the questions was to check me out. It started with the oh so fun, being weighed, followed by blood pressure, which was very good. Then came the time everyone was excited about: Ultrasound!!
Everyone gathered around the table as the doctor squirted cold gel on my tummy and began the scan. The results are in.... There is one little Peanut in there. :-)

Of course when I posted in family chat about being one, everyone made jokes about me calling him/her a peanut, so guess we have to come up with a new nickname until we find out blue or pink and pick a name. Which by the way, our next appointment will be August 6th and we will find out then if its a boy or girl.

So that is the little baby update for now. One other update I wanted to share was that I officially have an in world store and have been cranking out tattoos left and right!! I already have a few custom requests that have come in so excited about that although I'm not officially taking custom orders for a bit yet.
