I'm just now finally getting around to posting from our appt on Monday. Had 12 week US on Monday and the baby looks great! Very strong. I was actually measuring at 13 weeks whick goes along more with the date of my LMP. I am happy to report that I am FINALLY off the progesterone. YEA! I have orders to take it easy through the holidays but after that I can return to normal activity. Now I am finally convinced that we are having another baby and everything will be ok.

Poor Jackson also had a checkup on Monday with the ENT and the hole from when his tube fell out still had not healed after 3 months. We took him in for surgery this morning to do a fat graft on the ear. The doctor took fat from his ear lobe and patched the hole with it. Poor little guy was a trooper but now he is in a lot of pain and the packing in his ear and stiches are bugging him. He was under for 45 minutes and woke up sick and has remained sick throughout the day. I constantly remind myself that we are so lucky that it is nothing major but 4 surgeries in 2 years is a little much for me.

We decided to wait until after the first of the year to do his toe surgery again since it is so hard to recover from and we don't want him feeling bad over the holidays. If anyone has any good ideas as to how we can keep his ear both inside and out dry during a bath for the next 4 weeks feel free to let us know. I have no idea how to wash his hair and all of the blood and gross stuff around his ear without getting it wet and it really does need to be washed. I see a long night ahead of us and I've been up since 5:00 so I am off to take a nap. Wish us luck tonight! :)
