Ha! Yes, this are the big things in my life right now :) We are on the last leg of progesterone and now I know what it is for, it is to thicken my uterus. I guess it is important to have a thick uterus while pregnant. Peeing is something I do all the time too! I was not exactly sure why? I mean it's not as if the baby is pressing on my bladder already, this week it is going from the size of a blueberry to a raspberry. It amazes me every time I read about how it is growing and developing every week. I found out why I am peeing so much already! Apparently HcG causes an increase of blood flow to the pelvic region, causing you to have that gotta go feeling and pee all the time. The other thing is during pregnancy your kidneys efficiency improves. It is trying to help your body rid itself of waste more quickly. So there you go! learn something new everyday! :)
Sleep, that is another story. It has been interrupted for about two months now. It has changed over the weeks. I use to wake up at 3 am and not go back to sleep. Now my routine is sleep about two hours and then pee. I am usually able to go back to sleep, but I am only able to sleep for about two hours at a time. I am thinking this is God's way of preparing me for motherhood. Some nights you will have 4 or 5 hours of sleep, but then there will be some nights where you get two hours here and then two hours there.
I am still feeling well. I go back for a second ultra sound on September 15th at the fertility office. If all checks out well I will then be released to my OBGYN, Dr. Macey. That appointment is on September 30th and I will be 11 weeks. That is when the progesterone will be over!!! I swear my butt will never be the same after all these shots, but apparently I will say that about my entire body after being pregnant! Hehehehe
