My blood successfully made it to PPVI this time. I'm still in Zone 2, 41.3 ng/dL at 16 weeks, 2 days. That's right about where my level was at 4 weeks. It's odd that my progesterone is so much worse during pregnancy. I'm still unsure if what I'm feeling is really Baby Blondie moving around or if it's just gas or something.

D and I were traveling to NY and NJ from Wednesday night to Monday night. We drove and it was really long, but I did fine other than not drinking enough water on the way up which caused a little spotting. I drank more water on the trip down and did fine. We visited his mom's relatives first in NY, and we had a good time although everyone was slightly too concerned about me (especially with the drive). I know they are just natural worriers and this is the first baby from the grandkids on that side. It was the only time we'll get to see any of his relative's during my pregnancy.
On the way down to NJ, D and I stopped to have dinner with TCIE in Bethlehem, PA. We had a great time and while D and I waited for TCIE since we got there early we walked along the main street and found a shop with rubber ducks. We got a turtle duck for Baby Blondie.

We then went down to NJ for his cousin's wedding. All of his family was together and it was great to spend time with everyone. His cousin's wedding was outside and it was cool and overcast, so this Texas girl was glad to have a coat. The reception was a costume one since it was the day before Halloween. I got fairy wings to go with my dress and D wore the same Big Mac costume he always does. Since we said the baby is measuring big, some people kept saying they think he'll be early (even though this is still months away) but I said that I am going to assume he'll be late so that I don't have extra impatience if that happens.

I don't know if I mentioned that my mom and I went shopping for maternity clothes, but I love that I can finally wear jeans again (even though they go up to my bra with the panel). My dress for the wedding was maternity and so were my tights.
yah!!! It is so great to see your baby blondie!

I had to get used to the same thing about my progesterone and it's a good thing, I lived in zone 2 the entire pregnancy.
