My new toy!


My sweet and generous mom came to town this week and left this fun little gadget in my care.
It's a Bernina Artista 630.
This thing has bells and whistles.
I've got lots of reading and fiddling to do to figure it all out, but I'm so excited to have a good sewing machine with embroidery capabilities. Hopefully, I'll have some fun projects to talk about in the near future!
THANKS, MOM!

My Miracle failed this Time!

Just got back from my 33 wk dr. appt and he told me that I had tested positive on the antibody screen. I just looked at him, in my mind asking myself, "Is he saying what I think he's saying?"
He looked at me and asked if I'd ever tested positive before and I said, 'I don't think so because I have no idea what you're talking about." But he was saying what I thought he was saying and I did have a little idea of what he was talking about.

So the deal is that somehow, even though I've had my RhoGam every time I've been pregnant,
(every. single. time.)
I have become sensitized to RH+ blood.
I've had that injection 18 times and it's worked until now.

What in the world does that mean? I have some idea but I'm doing lots of reading on the internet and waiting for him to get back to me following his speaking to the perinatologist at Maternal Fetal Medicine.

I'm wondering if it's my little hint that it's okay to be done with bearing children......
