Movement

On Thanksgiving Day I felt it. I was lying on the couch, enjoying a quiet chat with my fisherman when I felt a tiny twisting sensation. It was too familiar to ignore and I felt dazed with the wonder of getting to experience it all over again. The baby moved!

Do Not Go Off!

I learned my lesson. Do not go off medication without checking with your doctor. I was worried about my beta blocker being a "C" class drug and affecting the baby. I quit taking it about a week ago. At the doctor's office, I had a blood pressure reading of about 160/110. Not a smooth move on my part, obviously. I was impressed with how quickly the office responded to my call and called in a new script. I even got to talk to the doctor personally which I rarely get to do at other offices. Note to self: behave.

Calling Ralph on the Big White Phone

I really hate that I take a med that squelches my immune system. I am feeling so much better than I did earlier, though. Ralph-o-rama is what I've decided to name the thing that kept me bending over the loo part of the morning and all afternoon. My poor husband is having post traumatic stress disorder over the whole thing. I really hope that he doesn't get sick. I really hope that noone else here gets sick, either. Thank God it is over for now.

Vomit, Heartburn & Exhaustion...O My!

Well. That's a deep subject, I know. We are expecting again. I am happy about that. I even enjoy the exhaustion because it affirms my general condition. I am not really enjoying the wobbly feeling in my head when I move too fast or the a.m. vomiting sessions. Heartburn is a constant companion and I'd really prefer to go it alone. My numbers are holding, I hope. I feel normal, for my condition.
