Baby News!

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
