We had the 19th week doctor visit yesterday and everything is looking good. The heartbeat was in range with what it should be. We also got back the genetic tests done on Kristin to screen for any potential issues and everything came back clear and good.
We did find out (or atleast I did) that because of something with Kristin’s blood, she’s going to need some kind of shot because if not it could cause issues with the baby. I’m not too sure what that was all about, but Kristin will probably leave a comment on this post explaining it a little better.
We thought we were going to find out the sex this visit, but it ended up that it wasn’t part of the doctors visit and we needed to schedule a seperate ultrasound for that. We couldn’t get in Monday because they wanted to wait until week 20 (and next Monday is only 19 1/2) and then the Thursday after that Kristin has meetings after school. We’re trying to plan to go on May 18th if they have something available, but we’re waiting for them to call back to let us know.
Besides that, nothing really has changed. Kristin is planning on going to the Gap Outlet down in Kentucky somewhere on Sunday to finally buy some maternity clothes. Her rubber band trick with the pants isn’t going to last much longer since she’s now using the large rubber bands.
I’m RH negative so I’ll need a rhogam shot in about two months that would prevent my body from attacking the baby’s if our blood would mix.
Rubberbands are great.
PETIE!!!!!! YAY!!! I mean, not about the shot…but that’s nothing a lot of pregger moms need to do that….but yay for being so far along! You were supposed to call me when you got back and you didn’t….can you believe Amy?!?! You guys are so close!!! I want a phone call update!! Hi James!
