Docta Shep

I had made an appointment with my doc to talk to her about some foot pain I'd been experiencing with my left foot. Aching bunion, bla bla bla. So of course I took this opportunity to tell her that I was pregnant. She was more than happy to hear it. She tells me that I'm at about 5 weeks in.
The reason I started seeing Dr. Shepherd was because I had gone through two misscarrages (one in March 03 and one Oct. 04) and I wanted a family doctor. I was tired of the walk-in clinics and nobody really caring. I saw a few before I decided that Docta Shep was the one. Her office isn't in the greatest part of town and it houses an HIV & Mental Health Clinic which can make for some scary waiting time. But there was something about her that was very genuine. She looks at you when you talk, you can see her processing the information and she has a great sense of humour. Meaning, she gets mine. Knowing my pregnancy track record, the Doc schedules me for an ultrasound at 7 weeks. Can't freakin wait!
