When is your first doctor's appointment?

Britney • Pregnant with #1!!
I called my OBGYN office today. The first appointment with my favorite doctor is not until Jan 6.  She is very popular and always has a few month wait for annual exams.  I will be 9 weeks at that point. This is my first pregnancy and I am anxious for any and all info. 
Have you made an appointment yet? What is the earliest it makes sense to make an appointment? January 6 seems so long to wait!
