week 8 update

I haven't posted in quite a while. Everything is progressing really well with the pregnancy. The little nugget is growing at 1mm per day :) No wonder I'm so tired! I still haven't had terrible "morning sickness". I usually feel my worst at the end of the day. I guess just being so tired and the eating a big dinner just tips me over the edge some nights. I am feeling better already though, just some days are more tiring than others, pretty typical. I STILL have this HUGE cyst on my right ovary. It is over 6cm now and looks like a large apple on the ultrasound monitor. Not much discomfort from it though, other than lots of bloating. Dr. Honea anticipates that it will start to shrink in 2-4 weeks.
I am no longer taking injections....this call for a celebration! I received the projesterone, IM shots for 8 weeks! Thankfully the little nugget has taken over on producing the progesterone so I am free at last...well, almost. I do still have to take the gel suppository daily until I am 12 weeks, so just 2.5 wks left :) I have only gained 2 pounds so far...YAY, but you can't tell from the looks of me. My stomach is so bloated from this cyst, that only 2 pairs of jeans are comfortable to wear : I feel like a huge fatty! No food aversions or cravings.

We're pretty great right now! I go for my first visit with my regular OB on Wednesday, hopefully I will get one more cute li'l progress picture and then I'll post all that I have.

Oh, one side note, I just visited a friend in the hospital that gave birthon Friday to an adorable baby boy! I saw the little cutie and teared up a bit. I have always been very emotional about special events, babies, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, you name it I will choke up even if I don't know the person, pathetic, I know. But seeing how precious this baby is and thinking I might be holding my own sweet baby in the Fall, words can't express how exciting this is for us! I'm sure most of you know exactly what I'm talking about ;)
