We went to the doctors today and we got the results of the quad screening test for down syndrome. The results came back good so far giving us a 92% chance the baby will not have it. There is one other part of the test which involves more blood work. I hate needles!!! Don't we know this by now.
Also during this visit we found out that my blood type is B- which is very rare. We are not exactly sure what Joe's blood type is but we are pretty positive that he is +. This means that our baby will also be +. Meaning that my body will create antibodies to fight off what it believes is something foreign. I will have to get a special shot for this to trick my body and will probably need one after I give birth as well. The doctor says there shouldn't be any problems with this pregnancy but there could be during the next one. The worst that can happen during this pregnancy is that the baby may be anemic. We need to get to a donation center so Joe can donate blood and we can find out for sure what kind of blood he has.
We also scheduled the BIG appointment. We will have an ultrasound September 4th to find out the sex so mark your calendars.
We also began cleaning out the baby's room this evening. Its just about empty now and we moved the bed into the yankee room finishing that room up finally. I will post pics soon of the rooms.
The doctor gave us the ok to travel as well so we will be booking our trip to LA this week probably. We are looking to go during the middle of October. So if you have been there and have any suggestions let us know.
