No more shots!

PIO - supposedly all done!! Wow! I did a shot on Sunday night and then went and had bloodwork yesterday morning (Wednesday). My levels were fine so they told me to discontinue the shots. They also lowered my estrogen again, which is great as I really, really didn't like the estrogen and the way it made me feel. So I go back for more bloodwork on Monday and as long as all is well, I will be injection free from now on - yippee! Although I do have to say, I am very nervous about it. I really was tempted to just take a shot last night to be safe. But I decided I had to trust the clinic - they are supposed to know what they are doing.

I did take a new belly shot the other day but I haven't gotten it off the camera yet - I'll have Paul do it today and I'll post it later. I've definitely grown some. I've had complete strangers ask me if I'm pregnant. I've had people at work rubbing my belly. Definitely starting to show. :-D

I am beyond excited about this weekend. Friday night we are going out to Brick after Paul gets off work and staying overnight. Saturday we are grabbing the train and heading up to the city to spend the day with M&M!! Paul wants to go to the 7-11 at Times Square because they turned it into a Qwik E Mart (or however you spell it) like the one from the Simpsons. Silly man! Then we are heading over to M&Ms house and MA is cooking a gourmet meal for us ;-) After that we are going to see a show - yay! It sounds like a very deep, dramatic play - which I *love*. Then we are heading back to Brick very late. Sunday we are going to get up and go to IHOP for breakfast (it's become tradition for us when we are in Brick to go to IHOP for breakfast on Sunday). Paul is going to take Shayla to his brother's house to play with the chickens and turkeys (yes, you heard me right, chickens and turkeys). After that we are going to take Shayla to the pool at my dad's job. We had taken her swimming at the pool in my parent's condo complex but they don't have a little pool for little kids and I really think Shayla would enjoy that. Then we are headed home after a LONG weekend - I'm sure we'll sleep well in our own beds Sunday night!

Speaking of beds - Shayla is *officially* in her big girl bed now. She hasn't been in the crib since the first weekend after we started the switch. It's still in her room as a reminder to her that she needs to stay in her bed or she'll wind up in the crib...but she NEVER gives us a problem about it. She loves sleeping in her bed - as soon as we bring her upstairs at night she jumps right in it and reads her story. She's such a good kid - sometimes I wonder how we got so lucky!

And there are a couple of changes I am thinking about making in my life. I'm not ready to divulge details yet but they are good things and I'm hoping they go through. I'll tell you more when I'm ready ;-)
