DH is Rh negative, also. Yay! No Rhogam for me!

We had our 16 week appointment with our midwife today. Everything seems to be on target-- uterus can be palpated just below my belly button, heart rate was in the 150s. Because I lost ~15 pounds in the first few months, my clothes are still fitting fine so I haven't yet had to explore the daunting world of maternity fashion. I did find out my blood type today and much to my surprise, I am Rh negative. DH, who has donated blood fairly frequently, says that he doesn't remember what his blood type is but thinks he has a card somewhere where the info was written down for him. I've only ever half-heartedly read anything about Rhogam, so I guess I actually need to go back and read about whether to skip the 28 week shot and just have the postpartum shot if the baby is Rh+ or have both or what. Hopefully DH will be negative, too, and I won't have to worry about it.

In other news, the in-laws are coming into town on Friday. It'll be nice to see them, but it means I need to whip the house into shape-- which, sadly, does not involve standing around cracking a whip while things magically clean themselves and put themselves away.

Another Op-Ed about Sarah Palin.  I completely concur with his conclusion: "In these times, for John McCain to have chosen this person to be his running mate is fundamentally
irresponsible. McCain says that he always puts country first. In this
important case, it is simply not true."
