Wow...it's been a LONG time since I last posted! I guess nothing new has been going on...until now! Most of you already know that I am 6 weeks pregnant. Yay! What an interesting journey this has been so far!
On Friday I had a doctor appointment that really didn't turn out they way I expected. The nurse gave me a pregnancy test which was obviously positive (duh, we knew that) and then told us that was all. She said I had to make another appointment for my "first OB appointment" now that the test was positive. Wait...but I already knew I was pregnant...I thought this WAS my first appointment! Apparently there was some misunderstanding when we made the appointment and they thought I was just coming in for a pregnancy test.
Anyways, I told the nurse I had been spotting off and on and she told me to go to the emergency room. I thought this was overdoing it a little since spotting is normal, but Scott forced me to go. We spent over 5 hours at Spectrum, but I am so thankful Scott made me go in! It turns out that I have O- blood. Which means that my immune system could be recognizing the baby as a foreign object and attack it! A nurse gave me a Rhogam shot which will take care of that problem. I am just so glad Scott made me go in...how scary!!
I also got my first ultrasound while we were there...Yay!! We got to see our little dude and the heartbeat...it was so cool!! The tech printed a picture for us but it wasn't very good so we took pics of the screen with our camera phones...hehehe.
I am thanking God that everything turned out okay and that I have such a wonderful husband!
We love you all! Amanda and Scott
Oh my, what a scary thing. I am SO glad that everything is ok!!! I am O- blood too and also had the shot. Amanda, I am praying for your baby everyday. I believe there is real power in that! Isaac is here because of so many prayers!

I'm so happy everything is ok. You guys had me really worried when you were texting me from the hospital.
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny to see the little blob and realize that there is life growing inside you. My grandbaby! I'm gonna spoil HER rotten!
