Default update

So, I ended up having to go back to the hospital and this time they kept me. I got solu-medrol shots through an IV probably about every 6 hours for the two days I was there and breathing treatments every 4. They released me with a script for 5 mg prednisone to take "as needed for wheeze" and advair 100/50 to take twice a day. The advair has been helping a TON. It turns out that I had a sinus infection, too, so they gave me rosephrin? through the IV and since I've been released I haven't really had any problems. Today is the first day I haven't done a breathing treatment or taken any prednisone and things are going wonderfully. I cleaned the house and watered the dogs and the flowers and went for a walk and it just feels so good to be able to BREATHE! Lol.
I had an OB appointment yesterday. She said everything is fine and scheduled an ultrasound for Tuesday. I'm so excited! Hopefully we'll find out if it's a girl or a boy. She also took my blood for the triple quad test. DH and I weren't sure if we wanted it, but we figure it's a good idea to know and that even if it comes up positive the baby still probably won't have a birth defect. We just want to take every precaution we can to make life easy for our little bean in September
I've been feeling the baby moving around and it's probably the most amazing thing I've ever felt before in my entire life. It's not strong enough for DH to feel with his hand though, so he's been feeling kind of left out, but he's happy that the baby's moving because now I don't freak out every day about if [s]he's okay or not.
I will update again after the ultrasound with pictures, hopefully!

So glad you can breathe again!

I can't wait to hear if its a girl or boy! Not long now, and I'll cross my fingers that s/he isn't shy.
