First Appointment

On August 12th, I had my first appointment. My doctor wanted to see me when I was offically 10 weeks along. The first appointment is always dreaded because of all the girlie test stuff that has to be done! Not to mention, more blood work. I got a call back today, August 18th, with some not so good news. As they were testing my blood, they found positive anitbodies in it. Nothing to worry about yet, until more tests are performed. The doctor said not to worry until we find out more information! She explained my blood and the growing baby's blood are clashing. Yes, very weird. She also proceeded to make an appointment for me to see a specialist and get more tests done, such as a titer. As she hung up the phone, I was more confused then I was when she first called. So, I dragged out my What To Expect When Your Expecting book and looked up "titer". It mentioned rubella antibody levels and how they will just keep a close watch on my as I progress so the baby isn't harmed. I'll leave you all with this information and be sure to post more after my 2nd appointment on August 26th. And, as I meet with the specialist on September 15th.

My Pregnancy

Hello All! You are all probably familiar with my blog of Jaelyn and her life, so you are probably expecting me to do another blog with our second baby on the way! One of the reasons I decided to start early on this blog was for my sister-in-law and best friend, Melissa. She was sure to tell me that I better keep her updated with this pregnancy! Everyone else also wants to be kept updated and this is the easiest way possible to do so.

I started to suspect I was pregnant during the end of June when I was moody beyond belief and always tired. I waited a couple weeks before giving up to a test on July 8th, our 2 year wedding anniversary. And sure enough, an anniversary blessing was on the way! Not to get my hopes too far up, I waited, then again, a few more weeks to call the doctor. As soon as I did, they wanted to get my blood drawn, like usual. (Just to be sure.) I went to the lab to get my blood drawn, Matt pushing me every step of the way, due to my fear of needles. My phone rang on July 18th and I prepared myself for a long, 9 month, journey because I was definitely preggo! Yes, another baby Pollock due on March 9, 2009. We then began to tell our families and friends and all were excited! We would like to thank you all for all of your prayers throughout this baby-making process!
