Busy Day Today

First, we got up early and headed to my doctors appointment. The results from my blood work last week were and and while my HCG levels were increasing like they should be, my progesterone levels were low. My doctor said she wasn't too concerned because the other levels were so high, but progesterone is important in early pregnancy because it is basically what sustains the pregnancy. It keeps the lining of the uterus thick and my ovaries are supposed to continuously produce progesterone until the placenta is formed and it takes over. So now once a week Jason has to inject me with a progesterone supplement in my butt cheek to keep my levels where they should be. Not fun but necessary and worth it. Then she took a look inside with what I like to call the "dildo cam" and we could see the gestational sac and a little blurb of what is the embryo inside. It's all finally starting to sink in! Because the embryo was so small she measured the sac and estimated me to be 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant, a whole week behind what I estimated. She said nothing to worry about, I just ovulated late this month and with pregnancy tests being so sensitive, I got a very early positive.








Later in the day we went car shopping. We've been needing to get Jason a new car since the truck was getting pretty old but now with the baby on the way we needed a more family friendly vehicle. We ended up getting a pretty great deal on a 2008 GMC Yukon which is exactly what he wanted! Car shopping is stressful enough without being pregnant and hormonal. After being there about 3 hours and going back and forth on pricing the manager asked us "Why are you getting so agitated?" where I promptly responded with "Because I'm pregnant, hormonal, and tired and I just want to hurry this up already!" Uhh, after that he knocked $1000 off the price!! Anyway, the car is beautiful and will definitely suit our needs for years to come.
