Lazy Days of Summer

The lazy days of summer are nearly over. It sure has been a great three months. Isaiah and I have done so many neat things! It is going to be so tough going back to work this week. With the baby coming in January, I'm sure the year will go fast, but I will really miss being with Isaiah all day, every day.

Yesterday was my 18 week ultrasound - everything went well. I'll have another with the perinatologist on Halloween, when I am 28 weeks along. The baby's heartrate was, once again, 150 beats per minute. It's a good thing we didn't want to find out the gender because the baby would not uncross its legs! The tech had trouble getting measurements of the leg bones. It was fun to watch the baby moving its arms and head around. It must have been in need of a nap because it had a nice big yawn. As soon as I have a few spare minutes, I'll get some of the pictures on the computer to share with you.

Starting next week, I will have weekly injections (lucky me) of the hormone progesterone. That should drastically reduce my chances of going into preterm labor again. I'm not excited about weekly shots, but its definitely for a good cause.

Isaiah is hanging on my leg right now - I think he's telling me that he's ready for his nap. I'm off to try and get him down in his new little boy bed! Let the transition from the crib begin - wish us luck!

Oh, the transition I hope goes smoothly once he gets used to it. I know that he will probably not like it right off the bat, but you never know. He might surprise you. Glad to hear that your ultrasound went good. Good luck on the shots. Will Tim be giving them to you or your doctors office?
