Progesterone and Activity

I am 16 weeks today and I have officially had my first progesterone shot. I was very nervous about it. I have been told they hurt terribly. I have been told that they burn. I have been told to be afraid, be very afraid. After all of that, there was nothing to it, but this is the week the nurse did it. Next week...Benji. We'll see how that goes. All went well yesterday. Quick appointment where they showed Benji how to give the shot, and listened to the heartbeat. The doctor said we have a very strong, active child. He found the heartbeat almost instantly, but there were a bunch of other noises also. Noises we never heard when we listened to Grayson's heartbeat. They were very loud, and at points completely drowned out the heartbeat. The doctor laughed and told us we had a very active little baby. He said all of those noises are from the baby moving, kicking, etc. Grayson must have been much more laid back, which would go along with his temperament today.
This has convinced Benji even more that we are having a girl. He has decided that the baby is a wild one, and that must mean girl. I am still not convinced. We will know two weeks from now. Wednesday, the 20th is our next appointment. We will then find out if there are boy parts or girl parts. Until then, he/she will simply remain "Cletus".
