School that is. After talking with my husband, we decided that the combination of high risk pregnancy, working full time and full time school is too much. I’ve withdrawn from the semester, and will go back next spring. It is such a relief! I have been so exhausted, and between the complications and my neurosis, I’m going to have a lot of appointments. So wow. I’m kind of shocked. School has been such a huge part of my identity for the past four years. So now I get to focus on my children, my husband and this pregnancy. I’m excited, scared and ready to go.

Still here.
I started the Lovenox injections on Monday. Man do those mothers burn! The nurse had told me it would ‘itch’. She is a big fat liar. I’ve only gotten one really bad bruise so far. I am so exhausted. I had forgotten the bone deep exhaustion of early pregnancy. My first ultrasound is two weeks from yesterday. Every time I think of it I get a knot in my stomach. Everyone keeps telling me it will be fine, but I’m terrified. In better news, I’m getting tickets to a Josh Groban concert!!!! The owner of my company keeps a box at one of our arena’s. If he’s not using it we can get free tickets to events there. I’m taking my momma, and I can’t wait. It is so exciting. School is ugh. I haven’t gone to two of my classes yet, which yes I know is bad. I just can’t seem to get my rear end up after 6 hours of sleep to drive to class. I’d love to drop them, but I’m not sure about the financial aid with that… I can tell you that if I get a healthy child out of this, I am so done. I know it sounds ingrateful, but I hate the shots, the fact that I’m on so much medication. I understand it’s a means to an end and that’s how I’m getting through the shots. I can tell you, I never want to do this again! Well off to pick up my oldest bundle of joy

Apparently, I’m a mutant.
A little background: after my last miscarriage my dr. ordered a bunch of testing. It turns out that the lab somehow never sent in some of these results back to the doc. When I went in for my first appointment with this one, the doc noticed and called down to find the results. I got home from work last night (at 1 am) and there was a message to call regarding some lab results. I of course took this as the perfect excuse to panic It culminated in me being called in for an appointment today. It turns out I have not 1 or 2, but 4 genetic mutations that can have an adverse effect on pregnancy. I have Factor V Leiden, MTHFR 1298, PAI-1, and Factor XIII V34L. So now I’m on 2 shots of Lovenox daily, Metformin, Folate, prenatals, oh and because of my preterm birth, Progesterone shots beginning in week 16. Does anyone else find it ironic that I am on more medication than I have ever been on before in my life, yet I can’t take cold medicine.

I just got a bunch of comment spam, so I’ve turned on the moderation. I hope this doesn’t discourage my few legitimate commenters

After my freaky visitor over on my last blog, I’ve decided to password protect all pictures of my kids. Leave a comment, or send an e-mail, and if I “know” you, I’ll be happy to share the password.
Thanks!
Happy New Year!
And good riddance 2006. A miscarriage at the beginning of the year tends to sour things a bit. On the upside W. only had 5 layoffs last year Only 13 days till I resume the torture that I pay poop loads of money for Work is going absolutely insane. I will have worked 7 days in a row come Friday (they wan’t me in for a full shift then) My next day off will be Sunday, unless they call me in then. My car is finally legal for another year, things are looking good so far.
The blanket is going good. I love Stitch and Bitch. Very very helpful. I haven’t had to rip it all out in a week I got the disk reader for my camera, so hopefully I will upload project pictures this weekend. I think that’s it, here’s to a fantastic 2007!
