Exciting day

Today I took my last progesterone injection!!!!  It's so exciting to not have to do anymore shots. I can't believe how long I have been doing them and how much a part of my routine it has become.   I'm so glad the baby and I have safely made it through this stage!!!

9 weeks down

So I am now 9 weeks 4 days pregnant with a single baby. Last week my IPs got to come to my regular OB for our first prenatal visit with the doctor. We got to do another ultrasound and since I am farther along we got to abdominal ultrasound as opposed to the awful transvaginal one. The baby looked great and measured perfectly. His/her heartbeat was 174 which is great too! I'm thinking this is a boy but that is just my guess. The doctors appointment went great and we really liked the doctor a lot. My IPs decided not to do an amniocentesis or CVS and instead we are doing a newer genetic screening that only involves a blood draw, so I am really happy about that also. That will be in two weeks. So besides that nothing much going on. I am having bad headaches everyday and still feeling nauseous and tired and over all just not good but hoping that I am in the homestretch and relief will come soon. I go back on Friday this week to have more bloodwork done to check my medicine/hormone levels and HOPEFULLY start decreasing the medications. So a lot to look forward to, decreasing and stopping meds, nausea and bad symptoms leaving, getting energy back and entering the "safe zone" of the second trimester. A lot to be happy about!
