19th Week Doctor Visit

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.

Baby on the way

Kristin and I would like to announce that she is pregnant.  We found out about two weeks and and have been waiting until the first doctors visit before we started letting everybody know.

During our visit to the doctor last week, we were told that the due date is September 29th, 2009.  While we were there, we also heard the babies heart beat already, which we were told is a really good thing and the risk of issues drops greatly.

We will probably be updating this blog more often now that things are going on.  We would post a picture of the belly bump, but there is no bump so there’s no reason.
