Drugs that make your face hurt.
This week sucks, doctor’s appointments go something like this:
1. Suck
2. Suck some more
3. Tears, then more things suck
4. Take drugs that make your head feel like it’s going to explode.
On the bright side, I have managed yet again to avoid a hospital stay, and thanks to the lovely drug Terbutaline, my babies are hanging out a little more safely. My family is so sweet. I’ve got a stack of trash magazines sitting on my table and people have been feeding us dinner weekly. My aunt also sent me a knitting book/dvd, so as soon as I can see straight, I hope work on that as well.
Everyone is requesting that I post some belly pictures. You all know how much I love my body right now (ha ha!), but I will say this: My baby shower is on April 2nd, so there will definitely be photos taken and posted that day.
I am going to go try and digest my turkey sandwich now. It is rainy and disgusting here today, which at least is managing to make me sleepy.
Hello. I'm Katelyn, a 25 year old wife, mother of twins, artist, and idea-factory. During the day, some might call me a "hit-the-ground-running" Administrative and Marketing Professional. In this space, I chronicle the nitty gritty details of balancing a full time career, new motherhood and all quirks of being a young wife in Ohio. I enjoy challenging the traditional views of a homemaker and my driving force is PASSION. If you enjoy random photos, digital media, moody quotes, or appreciate raw and witty sarcasm, you might want to stick around.

Blergh. So sorry
If theTerbutaline is making you miserable, it’s worth asking your doctor about Procardia. It’s a different kind of drug (created originally for blood pressure issues, I think?) that helps with preterm labor, too. It was the only thing that slowed down my contractions (had them at 28 weeks) and didn’t make me feel like CRAP like the Terbu (which I got one shot of.) Made me kind of dizzy, but that’s it.
Anywho — hang in!!

i never had to tke the terbu pills, but i did have the shot like 5 times during my pregnancy. it made my heart race like crazy and hannah jump around real fast in my belly. i didn’t like the way it made me feel, but it did keep her in my belly longer.
