All of our worrying was about...

A FALSE POSITIVE! Basically what happened is this... the first time Illysa drew my blood was at my 28 week appointment and she drew my blood before she gave me my RhoGam shot. The lab called her and told her that blood sample was bad for whatever reason...something to do with my red blood cells. So at my next appointment at 32 weeks she re-drew my blood which was after she had given me my RhoGam shot. This caused a false positive blood test for the antibody screen. Illysa said she's going to check me again in a month to make sure my levels don't go up but as of right now things are looking good again. Willard and I are both so happy and excited! It was a huge weight lifted yesterday evening when we got the call. We can now go back to this being a regular pregnancy. We still need to get little miss Marley to turn around though... I'm sure she will. I envision it every day. Well I'm off to finish up the little bit of laundry we have left before this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing some family and seeing a show of Willards. Soon it'll be way to uncomfortbable to drive 4 1/2 hours!

This is what I came to read about... I'm glad everything is ok. We studied about this in our OB class this week and it reminded me that I needed to check on you.
