9 Weeks, 1 Day, Bloodwork Day!

I had my progesterone and estrogen rechecked. The progesterone is back up! Thank god. It is at 35 again, where it was two weeks ago before it dropped to 12 when trying to wean me. They are not going to try to wean me this week. My estrogen is up to 969!! It was about 800ish last week after a drop in patches so I can drop another patch, yippee. They said I could drop the patch tomorrow and get levels rechecked on Thursday. But, I am going to wait until Sunday's change in patches so I can get it checked with progesterone as well. It's $185 each time I get it checked so I would rather get them checked together next week.

So, all is well for another week. I'm still feeling uneasy with the pregnancy, nervous. I wasn't going to do a weekly update this week but I'm trying to overcome my anxiety. So, here it goes, here's a photo off babycenter on what baby looks like now and below is what baby is up to!




Baby is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.
