Steriod shots complete

Today we are 28 weeks!!!! This is huge - third trimester we are here!!! We bought a stroller for Christmas ( a double bob) and I've now ordered him a few outfits from online :) It's exciting to know we have made it this far. We could go all the way but we are grateful for each additional day he is still baking.

Steriod shots are to help the baby's lungs develop faster in case of premature delivery. Typically, you are only given them once in a pregnancy. So, they try and get them as close to delivery as possible because they don't last forever. Since, Andrew gives me my progestrone shot every week , my doctor was okay with him giving me these as well. It's a series of two shots given 24 hrs apart. The pharmacy had to borrow it from the hospital because it's not something they keep in stock. This shot stung but it was not near as bad as the progestrone shot. That night I was restless and uneasy and the next day I became flush and hot. I had to get my second steriod shot and progestrone shot at the same time but in different cheeks. Double sore bottom!! I was afraid I might not sleep again but I did. The following morning I was flushing and hot again but over all it was not too bad.

Hopefully, he stays put for a few more weeks!! In just over a week we will find out his stats again. I'm excited to see how much he weighs now!!!
