17 weeks!!!

* This is the last time you will see this mop on my head I am cuting 5 inches off - can't wait!

Whew today was a busy day. I was on a world tour of doctors. 10 am blood work, 11:15 potassium doc more blood work & 2:00 high risk doctor. All appointments I was quite satisfied with the results.  Dr. Brown said this pregnancy seems better with the low potassium. That it took faster to get up to a normal level then it did with Londyn.  The high risk doctor was very informative telling me about tests they have done on patients that have had past history of preterm labor.  She mentioned I can take a shot of progesterone  every week but it might not make any difference.  So I decided not to put myself through that.  She said it could still happen and when I told her my fear of going in NYC at work or on the train she decided to measure my cervix at every ultrasound.  If it gets any shorter they will put me on shots.  I'm hoping that this works all I know is that it made me feel better talking to her.  I actually feel great no complaints yet!
