Milestones: 15 weeks :)
I just realized I never updated after my last appointment. Well baby k 2.0 is doing amazing. HB was strong at 162 bpm and was 2 inches long. Here is a ultrasound picture from that appointment.
So my next appointment is June 23rd (my b-day!!) and at this appointment I will be learning how to give myself shots! Since Aryssa was so early (water broke at 33w 5d, and delivered at 34w) and there was no warning she was coming my dr wants me to have weekly shots starting at between 16 and 20 weeks. The shot is called 17p. and basically it is a high dose or progesterone and it will "help keep my uterus calm" so that it doesn't start contracting and resulting in pPROM (preterm premature rupture of the membranes--- water breaking before 37 weeks gestation). I have done a ton of research on it and everything I read pushed me to doing the shot. Luckily the dr is going to teach me how to administer it myself so that I don't have to go to the office every week to just get the injection. I am pretty confident I will be able to do it to myself, and if not I know that Wendy (our massage therapist, who is also a nurse) would do it for me, or Jamie (we was studying to be a nurse before becoming a chiropractor) would be here for me. I know for sure Grant will not do it, I don't know for sure if he has a needle fear or just not comfortable, either way I think I will be able to do it. So that is the news on this end. Looking forward to a fun filled weekend!!!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!
i give myself 4 shots of insulin a day so if you need me i can give you a shot :0)

I can't believe you're 15 weeks already! The rest of the time will go just as fast, I'm sure! You're braver than I am about giving yourself shots...but we do what we have to do for our babies. :)
