So week nine came with a bang...or shall I say a Shot, in the rear! The blood test to measure the hormone levels came back on Thursday and were too low. What this translates to is supplemental progesterone shots in the tush for another week and another level to be drawn next week. Progesterone is a very important hormone to make sure the baby sticks in place and makes itself at home.
On a more exciting note, we got to meet our new OB/GYN, Dr Kurian. Let us just say up front, we LOVE her! She's very open, caring and crazy smart. We found that I have yet another bladder infection. Dr Kurian said it's not too concerning and is caused by the hormone making my bladder too relaxed. We were VERY excited to find that because the doctor is a little OCD (not that we mind), she wanted to do her OWN sonogram. WHOO HOOO! SO, here for your viewing pleasure, we present our dancing baby bean... watch close at the beginning and toward the end as the baby shows you it's new muscles are strong enough for her/him to move it's arms and legs!!
Oh my God.. the wonders of technology!!! Thank you both for sharing this miraculous journey with us, your family and friends. xx
