So I have been off progesterone now for almost a week and haven't spotted for almost 2 weeks now.  I really hope this means the SCH is gone for good and the rest of the pregnancy will be clear sailing.  I still haven't felt distinct movements yet, though have been feeling things that could be movement for about a week now, but don't want to say anything until it feels more like kicks instead of flutters.

Today I decided to go grocery shopping again with dh instead of sending him alone like I have had to do for the last 5 weeks.  It was tiring, but at least I got to pick out everything I want.  I have been trying to keep the amount we buy though to a min though until the food money gets approved.  I sent all the paper work on Tuesday so hopefully it won't be too much longer.

On other news, dh's background check came back good to do his work in the school so we are pleased because we were worried that the dismissed charge from 2 years ago was going to prevent him from completing his course.  He still has to get the record sealed though so when he starts student teaching next year there won't be a problem. 

Still haven't received the info from the school board about dd's EI transition.  I asked her therapist on Thursday and she said to give it until Tuesday because she did send it in.  She then said that they usually like to wait until closer to 3 to do the testing, which I told her isn't really going to possible with me being due right around dd's birthday.  I really want to get this preschool stuff all set by the end of the year, so she said to try and see if they can do that.  Unfortunately she is due in 2 months so not sure how much longer she will be working and able to help us with this transition process.

Also still no call from cps.  They said they would call Tuesday and it is Friday.  I guess they don't see the need to call to say the case is closed.  It does make me wonder about the way cps is run though.  At first they were so anxious to get ahold of us, and now they won't even call even days after they said that we would hear from them. 

When we were at the grocery store today there was a older woman there with a newborn (she said the baby was born September 11).  She took it out of the infant seat and the grocery staff were holding the baby and fussing over it.  Found out that the baby was a foster child.  Anyways, I was so sickened with this scene.  For one, taking a 2 week old baby to a grocery store shouldn't be done, and then even taking the baby out of its seat and passing it around to the grocery staff to see.  I wouldn't ever do this, and it upsets me that this woman who is suppose to be protecting this baby is doing this.  If I was this baby's mother and found out a foster woman had my newborn out and being passed around in a grocery store I would be pissed.  It is one thing to run to the store with a newborn that you have wrapped around you or close the canopy, and another to be holding it up and passing it around, plus being a foster baby it isn't even like this baby was getting immunity from breastfeeding.  I know that most people would be mad at the bio mom for losing her baby, but I'm not since you don't always know the bio mom's story of why her baby got taken.  The baby didn't look like a drug baby, so I am guessing that the mom either lost her parental rights with a previous kid or something like that.
Anyways, the scene just left a very bad taste in my mouth.
