My Pregnancy
So here's the short update. I've changed to a doctor (for the relief of all who aren't crazy about mid-wives) and I am on medication (nifedipine) to control the pre-term labor. The medicine works great, but lowers my blood pressure and makes me dizzy and have terrible headaches. I'm trying to get used to the idea that I won't be doing much for the next while... something I'm not so good at. You might notice, I've added a new little sidebar to countdown the days 'till the due date. Does anyone else have a problem remembering how many weeks along they are? I always have to count it down at least once a week. Maybe because I'm always trying to convince myself that it really isn't SO long until I can stop being nauseated. Did I mention how glad I am that this is my LAST TIME to do this?

i'm glad you and your baby are ok. take it easy!
Congratulations on your baby to be!!! I know I'm getting this news a little late, but I am way excited for you and your family! I remember how sick you were with Oliver and I feel so bad for you when you are pregnant. You are a real trooper. Hang in there with being on bed rest! I hated it too! Is it a girl or biy? What names do you like?
I meant to say girl or boy! not biy, where's the spell check on these things anyway!
we horns here in texas are very glad you went to the doctor. but i think you already knew that. :)
when i was on medication, i had the same side effects, but i think my body got used to them after a couple of weeks. i didn't notice it so much after that.
Charlotte, I feel for you with every fibre of my being! Pregnancy is so difficult in so many ways! You are such a trooper. I can't wait for you to be rewarded with your little boy and get back on your feet.
The 30 weeks + time is always one of the worst for me; you just are so uncomfortable and not feeling well. Those last 10 (well, for you, 5) weeks just seem to drag on. Hang in there! I can't wait to meet him!
