The Dr says....
Mia and Grace at Aunt Pat's on Labor day
Looking off into the sky... Airplanes?
Gracie is probably being nosy and trying to see what's under her.

So, today I had another complication from my medication. This time my legs got swollen and turned all red, got hot, felt like fire going up and down them and were all blotchy and my face got all red. I had a few blotches on my arms and I didn't really check anywhere else. I called my fabulous Dr and asked him what I should do. He asked me about my meds how long ago I took it and all that good stuff. He said If I feel it necessary to go to the hospital to have it checked out. I didn't think it was necessary I just wanted to know if he thought it was serious. I waited another 45 min because Greg was food shopping and he had the girls with him. When Greg got home he checked my legs again and said the looked better and they weren't as hot as they had been. I think it's a weird side affect from my meds. The best news from all of this craziness is that my Dr told me to stop taking my meds!!! The bad part is I don't want to have my babies so soon. I think I'm going to call and see if I can get into see my Dr a little sooner and have a talk with him about what our next course of action will be to keep me from going into labor. I want to make it to at least 32 weeks. I'm nervous about having them too soon but I don't want to have all of these terrible side affects taking over my life and possibly causing a blood clot or something worse. Being pregnant with twins already raises my chances of blood clots and pre-eclampsia and I feel that this medication will make those things happen if I were to continue to take them. I have had the worst pregnancy so far and I am thankful that this will be my last pregnancy. I don't think I could do this again. I have so much pressure on my lower stomach and upper thighs it's unimaginable and I didn't get this until 5-6 weeks before I gave birth to Grace. If this follows the same timeline pain and weird feelings wise I may or may not make it 32 weeks. I want to have my babies be safe and healthy and be ready for the world. Friends and family that read my blog please be praying for my babies and me that we can have a safe and a healthier end to this pregnancy than what we have been through so far. I want my babies safe and healthy. That is my ultimate goal. I love them so much already and I know that within a few days I will start contracting like crazy again. I thank God everyday for them and my whole family. I love our home and being a mommy to all of my girls and a wife to my wonderful, handsome husband. Just keep us in prayer that everything works out. Til I post again! Goodnight! <3
