Well, I've passed the twelve week mark. I have been taking Prometrium (a progesterone supplement) through the entire pregnancy so far. My last doctor decided he thought my body didn't produce enough progesterone on its own and that is why I kept miscarrying. But, yesterday I stopped taking the Prometrium. I guess once you hit twelve weeks, the baby and placenta should be producing enough progesterone on their own, and your body doesn't need to anymore. It was kind of scary to just STOP taking it.... but, that's what they said to do! And that's what my new doctor said as well... so..... no more Prometrium for me!
For now, I think things are still progressing. I have started to feel less sick, but that is supposed to be normal when you hit the end of your first trimester. I hit a peak of sickness when I was 10 weeks along, where I was throwing up 2 to 3 times a day! But, then it slowly subsided. I still am sensitive to smells, but not as bad. And I still throw up maybe once on most days. Some days I make it through without! And this week I actually cooked dinner a couple of times!

Just me again! :) Now I've read your whole blog (I guess I started at the end) and I think it's great that you're keeping track of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. And I DO love the songs too! So happy for that little "peanut" inside you! :)
