Home stretch
Well its October and that means we can officially say that the baby will be here next month. That's both scary and exciting for me and I think also a big relief for Britt who has told me unequivocally that the glow of pregnancy is gone. She is getting bigger and more uncomfortable by the day. Luckily we both agree that she is a very fetching pregnant lady. It is also hard to tell, but we think this last ultrasound photo shows a baby with Britt's nose and my lips. You can be the judge.
Both Britt and I are sorry to keep our fans waiting for the latest blogpost for such a long time, but it has been a very exciting few weeks. Without getting into too many details, we received some confusing and potentially scary news at our 28 week appointment. We found out that Britt was producing antibodies suggesting her blood (type O-) might be attacking the baby's blood, which at the time we assumed was most likely positive. After a couple weeks of worry, more tests and regular visits to a high risk OB-GYN we found out that both baby and Britt share RH- blood types and there is no need to worry. We still don't know why the blood test at 28 weeks showed the presence of antibodies, but we don't care about that much now that we know everything is looking good for Britt and the baby.
So with that out of the way we are excited as hell and Britt is nesting like it's an olympic event. We will be back with more updates soon.
