Today's ultrasound went well. Dr. Shamma was very happy with how things looked. He used the words "perfect" and "gorgeous." And we could see the arm and leg buds which was neat. Unfortunately they forgot to give me pictures. :( But hearing and seeing how perfect everything looked... that's enough to go on in my book!
And I get to stop the shots!!!! Hallelujah!! I still have to take progesterone, but in a different form. It's still not pill form, but anything is better than injections. We are officially retiring the needles and it feels good.
I asked Dr. Shamma about the H1N1 vaccine. Of course, he said I should get it if I can find it in the proper form (injection without thimerosal) but I'm still not convinced. He said we don't know the potential effects on the baby. He said he would be giving it to his family and staff, but none of them are pregnant. I'm not concerned about its effect on normal adults. Its the unknown effects on the fetus that have me in question. It's definitely a very personal dilemma. My solution is to move to the Virgin Islands where the Swine Flu is not a problem, but I guess that isn't the most logical solution. Honestly, I'd rather look crazy and wear a mask out in public rather than get the vaccine.
But, the most important thing right now is that the baby is developing right on track! Praise God!
