To start with the beginning of the day. We are officially 20w. Half way done and I'm finding it hard to believe that DD2 could be here in 17w. I honestly think that I'll be one of those women that the first 17P dose that she misses that she goes into labor. This also marks the day that I officially go to L&D for any complications and they will attempt to stop my labor. My 20w belly pic. I feel like I'm showing so obviously right now, but I guess it's just a tiny little thing yet.
DH gave me my 5th injection today which marks our first vile of Makena gone and only four to go. He did really well and surprisingly I'm minimally sore. I'll probably be feeling it tomorrow though. Bleh. The picture below is of our shot set-up for anyone interested. The first needle is to draw out the medication and the second is to inject. You can also see our lovely Vlasic needle jar. I think we might be able to fill it for another vile before needing a new one.
We also had our Level II scan with the MFM today. I am officially up 4.6 lbs. Baby girl looks absolutely great. She was measuring 20w2d on everything and approximate weight of 13oz. She is sitting exactly how I thought she was. Her butt to my left and her head to my right, with her back to my belly. She also had her hand waving near my cervix as usual to say "hello!". Cervix is back up to 4.1cm so we got the go ahead to leave tomorrow on our week trip. Yay. Dr. B is also so confident in this pregnancy that he feels he doesn't need to see us again until 30w. I think that's fair, especially since everything started to hit the fan around then anyways. I had trace protein in my urine, but that's nothing to be too worried about. I think I am a bit dehydrated from the yard work we did yesterday. So far I feel goo an excited/relieved to count the weeks down. The top picture is of her in the fetal position. Her feet are above her head.
