I had my progesterone levels checked, again, yesterday. It is usually an every 2 week thing. My Dr. called last night after hours and my levels have dropped a bit since last check, so she is uping my dosage from 1ml to 2ml. She is also going to have me have ultrasounds every 3-4 weeks to check on baby's growth and development. Then, from 32 weeks until delivery she will have me come in weekly for non-stress tests and ultrasounds every two weeks to monitor baby and check fluid levels. We have passed the miscarriage stage and are now focusing on preventing preterm labor with the progesterone. Of course, all this news is scary and worrisome to say the least. I know my Dr. is extremely cautious and caring and that we are in good hands with her. I'm also, trying to give all my fears to God, but it is sometimes easier said than done. I'm feeling baby move quite a bit and I think I could feel the kicks on the outside this morning. Of course, baby decided not to perform for anyone else. We did take Amy's advice and rent a doppler, so that always gives a bit of peace of mind. Please continue praying for our family.

You will be in my prayers. I totally feel for you! It sounds like your doctor is awesome and being extra careful. I did the nonstress tests a lot too and they give such piece of mind. We are thinking of you.
Wow you are showing! It's weird not being around for this pregnancy! I hope you make it through the next few months problem free.
