My three stars and one less dose

I have to say how touched I am to get star pendants from my friends. My 'shinning star' theme has inspired a string of wonderful gifts, all of which I'm wearing. My friend Brenda gave me the third one...and from Texas! And it's so cute! It's all I wear...my three little stars.

AND.....of the things I am looking forward to stopping the most in the medication department...surprisingly not the daily intramuscular injection into my butt...but those sick progesterone viginal suppositories. I had read girls complaining of the 'mess' they make...I thought 'how bad can it be?' IT'S BAD. And after today's progesterone check, I have gone down a dose! Yey! Just twice a day now. The progesterone went up, so that means the placenta is starting up!

In other prego news, I am 8 weeks this Friday, two months! If I have any mornignsicknes at all, it manifests as perpetual hunger. I can eat constantly. I went for a huge Italian meal at the in laws on Sunday, at 6 pm. Ate till my vision was blurred. Italian food people. You would too. Anyways, I had to take off right after that to a near by city for a morning meeting. I never took any food with me to the hotel, as I figured I'd be fine till breakfast. WRONG. The hunger woke me up at 5:30am and I did the desperate dig through my purse for forgotten and buried emergency food. All I found was a chocolate bar I had bought for a friend of mine while on holidays, that I still haven't given to her. I decided my friend is the sharing type.

Next ultrasound....sept 7th!

    btw, thanks for the beautiful card. it does look like us! and though we don't verbalize mushy things much, our hearts are full of mush, and we were very appreciative of sharing that big day with you, finding out there is a niki-cousin in the oven.

  5. Yay for reducing your supps! I hated those as well... yuck! And congrats on reaching the 8 week milestone! : ) It's great that you're just always hungry instead of throwing up! I had that ravenous middle-of-the-night hunger, too. And now, at 36.5 weeks, I am freaking starving all the time. You are doing great, Mama!!!
