negative

I don't know how I forgot to mention this yesterday in my post, but I also found out something else "interesting" yesterday. My blood type is O-. Who knew? I never did.

Apparently this means I need to get a shot at 28 weeks and another shot 72 hours after the baby is born. Shouldn't matter for this baby, but apparently, unless Ryan is a negative blood type too, baby could be a positive and then with the second one my body could try to resist it. How scary does THAT sound?!

I did lots of looking online yesterday and it sounds like the shot is absolutely necessary and it really does the trick, so normally there are no problems. NOT a fun thing to think about though, of course.

And oh, how I love shots!
