Progesterone Shot

Today's appointment went well. We heard the baby's heartbeat and was able to get an ultrasound. I feel so much better. I also received my first progesterone shot and it went a million times better than I had imagined. The needle was thick, but it was not painful...just a small pinch. I will get the same shot every week for four months. It's really not that bad. I guess I can sleep better at night now since I know what to expect each week.

We have successfully weaned Jacob off the bottle for a week and a half now. The transition was so smooth! We are now working on getting him to sleep on his own THOMAS bed. =) After we accomplish that goal, the pacifier will be taken away. That will be difficult for us because he's so attached to it. Lastly, we've got to get him potty trained before the next baby and get him ready for preschool next August. WOW...Jacob has a big year ahead of him. We've also started him on the Your Baby Can Read program. I think it's a great investment and we definitely enjoy the quality time that comes along with teaching him new words and new skills.

Our babysitter is awesome, she has a lot of patience with him and diligently works with him. We were so happy to come home and see his art project posted on our fridge. We are lucky to have her with us.
