Tuesday was exciting because it was the very first ultrasound to see Bebe! Lucy and Ricky flew to Tampa and our appointment was at 1:15. It has been confirmed that there is only one bebe growing and its heart was beating at a beautiful 121 beats a minute. Below is the video and I’ve tried to guide you to the general area by the way of the box.
Bebe was six weeks and four days old during the ultrasound and this is a more accurate representation of what bebe actually looks like.
The next ultrasound is scheduled for March 8th and once we reach ten weeks I will begin to wean off the medications and will be released from the fertility clinics.
Last week I was able to make the switch from progesterone vaginal suppositories to progesterone vaginal capsules. The suppositories are super nasty yuk and the minute you insert them they melt. Once they melt you spend the rest of the day (until you get to insert your second dose and start all over again) with a snotty progesterone drip that in my case decided to chemically eat away at my sensitive skin down in Lady Town. The capsules couldn’t arrive quickly enough and thankfully Lucy had gotten Freedom to make it so I didn’t have to sign for them. Needless to say, anything would have been better than the vaginal suppositories. I will even go as far to say I’d rather do a double dose of the progesterone injection before utilizing the suppositories ever again, but the capsules are my new best friend and we compliment each other well. Once they melt they tend to stay put minus a few granules of powder here and there- so, in my humble opinion if you have the choice, you want capsules verses the suppositories; don’t suffer needlessly, your very own Lady Town will thank you.
Until next time when I come up with more handy dandy information to share with you about my private parts, I bid ye farewell.

Hi there !
I absolutely love reading your blog ! One thing that may help on the “burning” induced by the vaginal suppositories… ok this will seem strange…
I live in France where doctors just loooove to prescribe suppositories for just about everything (don’t ask…) and I do use one on my kids that contains eucalyptus oil (for heavy coughing) but when it melts it does burn there little tooshy…so doctors advise to cover your private parts (anything burnable i guess lol) with vaseline before inserting the suppository…ok it’s greasy, but better than feeling like your sitting on hot coals !
Hope that helps anyone who has to go through that fun !
Take care and hope to read you soon !

Thanks for the amazing update! As someone who used the suppositories twice a day for 12 weeks, I can relate to that “fun”. Keep up the awesome work and great news. When are you due?? Can’t wait to hear all the exciting news to come……
