2nd prenatal checkup

we had our second prenatal visit with dr. reynolds- who is awesome. it turns out that the surly nurse from last time was right- dr. reynolds did in fact check for the heartbeat with a fetal doppler and couldn't detect it. however, we did hear mine and were all relieved to learn that i'm alive. ha ha.

it's likely that at our next visit, which will be at 12 weeks, we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat and we can't wait!

also, my bloodwork came back and i'm rh negative! this means that if my baby is rh positive, there's a chance that my body may respond as if it were allergic to the baby and attack my baby's blood. yikes! how horrible. luckily, this can be prevented with a rh immune-globulin shot later in the pregnancy and again at delivery.

I love that you posted this photo! It is the cutest. You should take a series of doctor's office pix and watch your belly grow!

XOXO
