I'm okay with an uneventful pregnancy

Pregnancy is fun and wonderful but it's not really something that you want to be too exciting or eventful.  That likely means you're having problems or baby is having problems and that's NO FUN.  I'm good with uneventful.

Yesterday my midwife called me and asked me to come in to have my blood work redone.  My first set of tests came back showing that I have antibodies in my blood, which can cause some serious problems for the baby and would require more in-depth care for me and this little one.  It was odd that it showed up but I've never had the issue with my previous pregnancies.  She wanted to rerun the tests, hoping that it was an error.  I went in yesterday afternoon and had more blood taken and now I'm just waiting to hear back.  Of course, she told me not to stress about it but, well....I did dream about it all night last night.  I am trying to remember that this baby is in God's hands.  He loves him/her more than I do and just as much as He's loved all three of my other sweet babies.

I was 9 weeks yesterday, still feeling nauseous much of the time, although there are days when I feel okay for alot of the day.  Today I woke up feeling good but tonight has been rough.  Just going with the flow, hoping it'll only be a few more weeks of feeling sick!

Anyway, going to try to keep busy this weekend and keep my mind off of the tests until I hear back on Monday.  It shouldn't be too hard to distract myself since we're making a trip out of town to celebrate my father-in-law's 70th birthday!  Wow!  The kids are super excited but Melissa said, "I didn't know old people had birthday parties!"  :)
