6 Weeks 3 Days

That's right. Six weeks, three days on Monday. 

     It's the holiday season and we are celebrating the good times! When things are good, you celebrate and things are so good! 
     We went to our specialist on Monday for our first ultrasound and it was wonderful. Everything is measuring exactly as it should, we got to see a flickering heartbeat (although its too early to hear anything.) I am sticking to my routine of progesterone injections, estrogen patches and other progesterone... All the vitamins and all the supplements! We are continuing the routine because its working! 
     Part of the routine now is being tired, so tired. I will gladly be tired when I know the end result is completely worth it. Also...the hives...they're back. With Lucy, it was at ten weeks that I started itching for no reason and getting hives at the brush of any kind of touch. This time....it was five weeks! And man, I am itchy!! But again, no complaints! I will deal and smile! :) We will return to Fertility and Endocrine the day after Christmas to check again. We love all the updates and we remember all too well that we will graduate after ten weeks and move to a regular OBGYN. We want to hang out with Dr. Krause as long as possible!! 
So we are still cautiously optimistic that things will continue as they are, but we also understand that this is soooooo early! We understand that things could change, so we keep that in mind as we celebrate these good times! <3

A HUGE thank you to everyone who bought a t-shirt! We don't have any extras, which is awesome. We also were able to not only pay for the patches we continue to purchase ($200/every two weeks) but also the vials of progesterone ($50/each) and we will use any extra to get the progesterone suppositories ($92/box of 21- and I use 3 a day)- too much info, I know. Haha! But really, you all are amazing! The love is astounding and the support is indescribable!

     One more thing, Lucy has no idea. The word sister means nothing to her and she cannot understand babies that she does not see. We can't even tell her about the fun things we do until we are literally at the "surprise" and she discovers the activity is happening. She is two and she is literal. She has no concept of time and we are fine with that!! So she is on a need to know basis and right now, she doesn't need to know! All she needs to know is how loved she is and how fun the holidays are! :) <3
