saw the baby

We hired a sitter last Monday, for the first time ever, so Jon and I could go to the doc appointment alone. Thankfully, there was one, good, happy looking baby. I was so thankful Jon went with me, because as we left, we discovered we were driving on the rim thanks to a nice nail. I never would have been able to change the tire on my own, so I'm very thankful he was there. I also learned that my progesterone levels were even better and I got to go down to one shot twice a week, and my reaction to them seems to be much better lately, so that's good.

Aside from this, if you are open to praying for me, I could use prayers lately. I'm going through a very difficult time spiritually. Things I dont feel comfortable discussing, but things that I really need to work out, stuff that's going to take time. I need lots of healing and obviously, can't do it on my own.

The kids are doing great. H has discovered jewelry and some new red heart Valentines sunglasses. She's become somewhat of a little diva. It's really cute lol! She is also insisting a lot on wearing her squeaky shoes, and then loves to dance and make noises with them.

Z is growing up fast. He's quickly learning that he's not suppose to get out a new bucket of toys until his other toys are put away, and he's started telling H what to do. ie today, we were telling her to get off the picnic table. He said "H, get down, now." LOL! He's also really big in to praying. When we eat, we say the basic meal prayer, and at the end, we taught him to say "Thank you Jesus for this food, Amen." and he's totally started saying it on his own without us prompting him. Also, H has started putting both of her hands on her head when we do the sign of the cross. I love the innocence and learning of little children.

Anyway, that's it for tonight.

Updates

well, last week, the doc took me off the oral progesterone, so i'm now just taking 2 shots 2x a week. I think I am much better regarding the moodiness and depression. However, I think I'm allergic to the shots or something. I have welt-like knots all over my bottom that itch constantly. This happened about a week and a half ago and the doc said that was totally normal, but it's getting worse, so I need to call and see what else we can do.

I finally heard back from my OB. The physician apparently wants to see me every week until I'm at least 12 weeks. However, thankfully because their schedule is already so full, and I am only available on Mondays and Fridays, I have one next Monday (almost 10w), one the following Monday (almost 11w), and then my first trimester ultrasound at 13 weeks. They will do an ultrasound next Monday to check for viability. I'm anxious and nervous about this. I'm so afraid that since we had a miscarriage in Nov., that this one won't make it. But, I am still having nausea, which is my normal pregnancy sign, so I know I probably shouldn't worry. I'm also freaked for some reason that there might be twins, even though I totally doubt it.

In other news... hmm, there's not really much else. I guess this is it for now :)
