Baby Update

Jan 04, 2010 08:13

We're almost at the start of our 12th week for the baby. It will be nice to be done with the first trimester, so Annie can hopefully stop feeling sick to her stomach. It's been nice having two weeks off of work during the holiday break, even though we haven't really been able to go anywhere, it was good rest. I'm just hoping Annie doesn't get too ( Read more... )

Yeah, I hope the constant exhaustion and nausea goes away really soon. It's so cool to see the development in those pictures and how the baby gets so big so fast. Can't wait to see more! :D

You can borrow my work scanner.

I'm gonna see if they have one somewhere at my work first, but if I haven't found on by the next time we see you, I'll have to take you up on that.

BTW, my official guess for the sex is Girl. Are you taking bets?

I also have a question (or 2), which you can not answer if you don't want to. Did you guys choose to do the genetic testing for any potential problems? That one was the toughest choice for me. Or what about the swine flue vaccine? They recommend you get it, but who knows what it does. Did Annie get it?

Our baby is for entertainment purposes only, please no wagering. :P My guess is girl too, though. :)

We decided against the genetic testing. There's really nothing in our family histories that leads us to believe there should be any issues, so hopefully that will be the case.

Annie did get both flu vaccines. We don't buy into all the doom and gloom surrounding vaccines, plus with Annie's job working with kids, our doctor thought it would be smart to get vaccinated. They said there was no chance the shots would harm the baby but H1N1 can be a serious risk if a pregnant woman contracts it.

For what it's worth, she got it done a month ago and she didn't get any flu-like symptoms or anything and she hasn't even gotten a cold all season, even though a lot of her students did get H1N1 or the flu.
