Ok so I have not been on in a while. I am going to be 17 weeks this friday and about 2 weeks ago my allergies started up....really bad. So since living in Austin (about 8 years) I have not had a problem with them. Before moving here I did. So my stomach is soooooo sore from sneezing and blowing my nose. I am allowed to take sudafed, actifed, benodryl or claritin. Obviously not all at the same time. I can only take them for no more than 4 days in a row cause it could raise my blood preasure. So I had a docs apt on Wednesday and everything was great. Its just that i don't know what else to do. I hate taking the pills cause I know it can't be good for the baby even though I know the greatest risk is during the first trimester and I am past that. I just don't know what else to do. I have not taken anything for the past few days and I am just so tired. I just hope it all stops soon.---ugh.

I was wondering where you wandered off to!!! I was going to pm you this weekend. I can't believe how far along you are. Do you have the big ultrasound scheduled yet? Belly pics? I demand Belly Pics!!!

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. I wish I had some helpful advice. I'm sure someone will.

You better stick around this time!

thanks christy! I know I have just been feeling so crappy. I have not even been getting on the comp to check my email. I guess cedar fever is really bad here and this maybe what I have. I hope not cause it can last all the way til March---ugh!!!!!!!! I don't think I can handle this for that long.
By my next apt on feb 8th I will be exactly 20 weeks and he told me that I could have it done anytime then. We are going to wait til exactly 20 weeks just cause we are paying for it out of pocket and we don't want to take any "early" chances of not seeing it. As far as pics I will have to wait for my dh to show me how to do it--hehe. oh and we are going to get a dvd of the ultrasound at 20 weeks as well. i am ready to know what we are having so I can start getting the babies room ready and stuff.
