All is still well!
I meet with my new OB for the first time today and she didn't freak out about all the meds I'm on, the progesterone injections, or my history, so that is a good sign. She was pretty chill with everything, and I guess I'll take that at this point. She even agreed to check my progesterone levels today in addition to all the blood work drawn for a new OB panel.
She did a quick ultrasound and confirmed "Biscuit" is still growing away. He/she was 4 mm 10 days ago and now he/she is 1.4 cm- noticeably bigger on the ultrasound and now more blob like instead of like a rice grain. The heart was beating away, but she wasn't able to get a measurement of how fast and we didn't hear it this time, but that was ok since we had that experience earlier. Dr. said she saw the baby wiggling around, but I couldn't see that. I'll take her word for it though.
I've been going round and round with my insurance to get the PIO injections approved. I'm hoping by Friday everything will be sorted out and I can pick up the prescription, since I don't have many doses left of my old stash. Thankfully, I have an old stash that hadn't expired yet.
So now I have my 1st ever ultrasound picture of our baby hanging on our fridge. I can hardly believe it. It still seems so surreal and I feel so unworthy. I realize I have another 5 weeks to get through until we're out of the 1st trimester, but I'm actually starting to have hope that we might get to meet this baby face to face. This is the farthest along we've ever made it in a pregnancy by more than a week. So now more waiting ensues. I go back for my next appointment with her in 4 weeks and I'll still keep monitoring my progesterone with my Napro Dr.
Off to call my dad for his birthday and then to my women's Bible study. I only wish I could share the news with my dad today when I call, but will wait until 12-13 weeks thanks to my gossipy mother. I do get to share with my Bible study group as they've been praying me through these past few weeks and know the struggles I've had the past few years.
Thank you, Jesus, for continued life in my womb. Help me to trust in You and Your goodness more instead of being filled with so much doubt. Bring life to the wombs of many more bloggers that are waiting on You and Your timing.
