Graduation!

Today we graduated from the RE!

We got an U/S of the little peanut and saw the head, arms, legs, heartbeat and umbilical cord. He/she even showed off and moved around for us! It was amazing. Baby measured in at 8 weeks 4 days. I can't believe at only 8.4 weeks that it would be that developed.

They gave us a folder with all of our ultrasounds and bloodwork results and a schedule of when to stop meds. That is the wonderful news. No more PIO injections! I get to stop them on 10/26 and will be doing a suppository form of progesterone 2x a day until 11/9. I still have to do the estrogren injection every third day until the end of November, but that's not everyday.

Yay, we are graduates!

The Flu

I have had the flu since this past Thursday. Pregnancy suppresses a woman's immune system, so it seemed extremely hard to fight it off. I am feeling somewhat better today, but not back to 100% yet. I am praying that everything is OK with little peanut in there after the fevers, chills, coughing, and throwing up. One of the worst things is that I could only take Tylenol. The Tylenol worked for the fever, but did nothing for headaches or any other ache for that matter.

Our last visit with the RE is on Thursday for our 8 week U/S. We will then be released to the OB for the rest of the pregnancy.

Can I go to bed, please?

I am really feeling pregnant. I still can't believe it. Nausea has become part of my life and hopefully won't stay very long. I don't care though. On many pregnancy sites, they say that morning sickness really kicks into high gear in the sixth week. I'm hoping that is not the case. With DS, I had one day of sickness and no more. I am already finding it hard to concentrate at work and for school work. I fell asleep on a teleconference and couldn't do anything to snap myself out of it. I even took a stroll around the floor, came back, sat down, and five minutes later Out! It is so not fair that caffeine is not allowed! Sleepiness is everyday and rest is my friend.
