So I had my first 17p shot this morning. Man was that awful. It burned so bad going in and it is still sore to the touch right now and I got the shot at 9:30 this am. Only 19 more shots to go. My poor hips are gonna be like pin cushions. It will all be worth it though if I can keep the little bean cooking. I think this will all be less stressful too once we find out what were having. I think it will allow me to connect more with the growing baby and make all this trouble more worth it. Only about 2 1/2 more weeks until we find out. Dec 8th. We have an appointment with the perinatologist to find out. Plus we are doing a consult with one of their docs that day so hopefully that will go well.
I have been working really hard to maintain my stress level which is kind of why I haven;t been on here as much lately. Its hard for me to read the stories of other preterm births because it gets my mind going on the what ifs. I have been focusing on reasearching less and trusting God more. My husband has been really supportive in helping me to take my sanity time each day. Plus I have been giving myself little treats here and there. I had a pretty stressful work day today so Ethan and I shared a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds. : )
I guess its good timing to work on stress management since the holidays are coming up. I am looking forward to it and plan to enjoy it since it will be the last time we are traveling for a LOOOONG time. Just thought I would share an update. I will keep you all posted. : )
