An Update

We're somewhere around the middle of the pregnancy.  The spotting for the most part went away.  She still spots occasionally which makes us uneasy.  Also, BJ reports that it is harder to give herself the shots than she recalled it being with our other baby.  The needle is harder to push into the flesh and it often burns.  You can feel some knots under the skin from where she has given herself shots.  Her belly is bruised badly from the blood thinners.  But the doctor's continue to report that everything appears to be going well.  

When we did the last ultrasound, we were unable to tell the gender.  But they said that the heart rate was fast and in the range for a girl.  At the last doctor's visit, they said that the heart rate was in the range for a boy.  On November 30th, we'll lay the gender question to rest.  On that day, we'll be getting a 3D ultrasound.  We're so excited! 

BJ's actually lost some weight.  When not pregnant, BJ suffered from severe migraine headaches the source of which we were never able to determine.  Once again, during pregnancy the headaches have almost all gone away.  She has them occasionally but not nearly as badly as before.  I'm still convinced that they are somehow related to the MTHFR mutation.  My theory is that there is something in the prenatal vitamins or folic acid itself that is preventing the headaches.  I wonder how many others with the MTHFR mutation have experienced migraines and whether or not they've gone away when taking vitamins.
