It's OVER!!!!
Yes, I am done with my 17p ALPHAHYDROXY PROGESTERONE SHOTS. Every Sunday evening for the past 17 weeks Brett has given me one, and it's finally over. I was actually pretty lucky though...most women who take these shots get stinging, bruising, and itching at the injection site. But I only had pain once (it was the second shot). In fact, Brett and I had a pretty good system once I gave in and let him just poke me without taking 5 minutes to give him the OK. And he was so nice to take a couple of minutes to push the medicine in slowly (it's mixed in oil, so it's really a thick solution).
So that is another milestone down!!! In 1 day I will be 36 weeks and I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER!!!!! Seriously...you can't complain unless you had to be on bedrest for at least 5 weeks, see the doctor weekly, take daily meds, take weekly injections, spend a few nights in Labor & Delivery, & have contractions all day everyday. I feel I have earned my right to complain!!!!
On the other hand, I feel so blessed that although it isn't easy, I am able to carry a pregnancy to term. I will try not to complain too much then.
Brett will love this picture!!!! I gave him 2 chances to get a good one, but he was sick that night and not very into it....so this is what we got...HA HA.

yay!! I am so glad you don't have to take those shots anymore. After reading this post, I feel bad ever complaining! You have had it so hard..Im so so sorry! Im so excited for both of us....so so soon! Now we just need to hang out to make the time go by....as soon as I get over this cold. We really do want to hang out with you guys. So two weekends ago I had a cold...then last weekend Matt got my cold and then this weekend I got his cold! Seriously...oops complaining..! Anyway, we'll get together very soon!
Yay! You do deserve to complain! But seriously I am so happy that you have now made it to the 36 week mark! Can't wait for the "HE'S HERE" post! Good luck!
YOU DO HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN!! And it dose feel like you have been prego FOREVER! I can't even imagine being on bed rest for that long!
I love that picture of Brett...lol.
Were are so glad you have made it this far! Congrats! Best of luck these last couple weeks!
You are totally validated in complaining. I would be ranting if I had to be on best rest for longer than a week! I'm due just a week after you and I feel like I've been preggo for years. And I haven't had it nearly as rough as you. Way to hang in there.
Hooray!! Teddi told me all about her stay there. I'm so happy for you that you're done with all that! You're a tough lady!! I couldn't do it.
Btw..you should consider decorating cakes as a business! That princess cake was SOOO cute!! I can't believe she is 5! Crazy...Cody will be 1 tomorrow!!
Yay! The worst is over! Now have a baby!
