Update On Pregesterone

My doctor called me back yesterday and said absolutely NO MORE Progesterone. She said that I was lucky to be at the clinic when it happened and happy my allergic reaction happened as quickly as it did. She said that the progesterone was just a precaution we were taking but is not necessary. Unfortunately there is no other alternative medication to put me on...so we are just going to hope that things stay the same and my pregnancy goes good the rest of the time without medicine. So far everything has been great...but of course this is going to be my worst week yet. I went into labor with Ty when I was 23 weeks and 3 days. Today I am 23 weeks exactly...so I think after this week I will be good to go. Just making it to this week has been crazy! I am taking it easy and getting more and more excited about what is ahead of us. :)

Our Barndominium Is Coming Along

Just a few pictures of how far along we are on the barndominium! Not very far...but it's coming along.













Yippy! We have our slab poured. This is just the barn area...next week they will come and pour the slab for our wrap-around-porch.




This is some granite boulders that Billy got to put somewhere.


This is Billy and Blake...getting some food together for our BBQ tonight.

Happy I Survived My Injection Yesterday

So let me just start off by saying that if anything is going happen to anyone...it is going to happen to me.

Yesterday I went in to get my Hydroxyprogesterone Injection just like I have done every Friday for the past 6 or so weeks. But this Friday was not like the others. I noticed right after the needle came out that I felt a burning sensation going down my left leg...the same side that I got my injection in. Then it really started to burn around the injection site. I tried to just ignore it because I figured it was nothing...they feel different all the time. This one was just way more painful then all the others. When I was walking past the nurses station to leave I tried to say good-bye to the nurses...but I started to choke. I figured I just needed some water, so I stopped in the waiting room to get a sip and that didn't help. So I started to walk out of the waiting room when I noticed something was terribly wrong. I thought I was having heart problems and I was sure my throat was closing. I looked down and noticed my arms were bright red and I could feel my face swelling. So I turned around and walked back through the door where the nurses were sitting and sat down in a chair beside them. Don't really remember what I said to them at that time...but I definitely let them know I couldn't breath. They immediately helped me to a room and gave me a shot of Benadryl in my other hip. It started working right away. Within 2 to 3 minutes of getting the Benadryl everything was back to normal. I feel very lucky that I was at the clinic when this happened and not at home with Billy giving me the injections. Who knows what would have happened. Today I don't even feel like it happened. My face is a little swollen but I feel great! I am going to make an appointment with my doctor first thing Monday for sometime next week to find out about continuing on with the progesterone or changing medication or what I should do next. That was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced and don't want it to happen again.

Gotta Love My In-Laws!

Okay...so it's been a while since I've posted anything. And today I only have one thing to really talk about. It is the Freeman's new toy! A SCHOOL BUS! Joe bought a short school bus for the ranch. He thought, how nice would it be to have a vehicle with A/C and heat and plenty of room to take all his friends and family riding around the ranch...or wherever he decides to take them. This past week Joe and Suzy were so excited about their new toy that they made plans to pick up all their friends on the school bus (that was recently spray painted by the family in camo) and take them all to eat in Blessing at the American Legion. They first passed by our house (blowing the horn) around 6:00 or so and it was just Joe and Suzy...then the next time they passed by our house (blowing the horn) around 7:00 or so it was the whole gang waving and having a good ol' time. They had picked up: Caroline and Dick Ottis, Vickie and Ralph Gold, Zoe and Jim Bouligny and Mike Prasek. The 9 of them passed here heading to Blessing for dinner. It was a pretty funny sight to see. Everything went fine for them on the way there...but after dinner they had some trouble with getting the bus to start back up. Joe tried calling Eugene to go pick them all up...at who knows what time...and Eugene of course told them NO. But Eugene did call his neighbor for them, who just happens to have a Limo, to go pick them up from Blessing. The first trip out in the new toy didn't go as planned, but I think they all had a great time anyway! :)

Here is a picture of the bus.
