Medication! Ugh, why can't this be normal

My daughter Mia is in Ballet classes and I took a few pictures of her classes. When she started in December, here are two.


I just thought I would add some cuteness to the page with her dance class and classmates.
On a yuck note, I've been so tired!
The weekend before last I was having contractions like crazy and I was in a lot of pain. I drank a ton and rested on my left side. They continued getting worse over the weekend. Monday morning I called my Ob to see what he suggested I do. I was told to go over to the hospital to get checked out. I was there for about 5-6 hours while they monitored the babies, gave me an ultrasound and monitored my contractions. They gave me Terbutaline which is very unpleasant. They sent me home on Procardia which is almost as awful! I was started out on 4 doses a day and that was just the worst. For about 3 days I took it as prescribed. It was making me feel so dizzy, nauseous, shaky,breathless and made my blood pressure rise so much that I couldn't fuction. I called the Dr's office Thursday afternoon and told them how much it was affecting me and they took me down 1 dose a day. Since then I have been feeling so much better. I take 2-3 a day and I don't have more than 3-5 contractions a day which is fine by my dr and I don't have the extreme side affects I was having from taking so many doses. Thank God!!!
I'm feeling the way I did before I got severe bronchitis and started having to many contractions. Just super super tired and very pregnant. Well, I'm definately more pregnant than before. It's still hard for me to concentrate beyond a few paragraphs but I have so much to do before the babies are here and I don't want to forget anything. I'm catching up on things 5-10 minutes at a time which is better than not attempting to use that time to be productive at all. Tonight I have 3 things I would like to finish. Tomorrow I'll attempt to do 3 more. *Contraction* Ugh!
Ok well, I'm going to go spend some time with Mia and Grace while I'm still feeling ok. Feel free to comment or follow me... I look forward to some feedback. :)
