I got the results back today from my blood work and everything is normal! So no gestational diabetes and I am healthy!! Yay for the good news!!
I got my Rhogam shot and we listened to the heart beat. He is measuring at 28 weeks exactly and he weighs 2 lbs.
All seems well. They sent me home with information about getting the TDaP vaccine. I have done some research. Josh and feel I should do it. Josh needs to get it as well. It protects Evan against whooping cough, which can be fatal to newborns and infants. That vaccine can not be administered until later, so babies go unprotected and that's why most get it in the early months. By vaccinating me during pregnancy then my body can give Evan some of the antibodies he needs and hopefully protect him.
The CDC highly recommends that all people in contact with babies such as parents, grandparents, and baby sitters, etc get this shot done.
Normally, I am not one for vaccines. I'm cut from the same cloth as my mother! When they recommended the flu shot, I didn't get that. But after the research, this precaution seems to way out weigh the risk. Plus I get the shot and little Evan doesn't feel a thing!! I can handle that a lot better!! :)
