1st time mom will be 6 wks tuesday

digregorioe

I just wanted to say hi to everyone! My husband and I just found out this past tuesday evening that we are 5 weeks pregnant. My first appointment isn't until the 15th of October and I am going nuts.  I wanna know that all is well in there.  I started my vitamins right away and have been doing my very best to eat better and plan on walking more after work to stay fit. 

 Why do they need to wait so long for the first appointments? Any advice on how to "kill" time between now and then without bursting at the seams to tell everyone and anyone?
