Steroid shots suck
Yesterday I started my first round of steroid shots and it was Mag Sulfate feeling for about 2 hours, then with a little rest and ondansetron (Zofran) I felt a bit better. The shot itself wasn't bad it was the side effects. Dizziness, shaking, nausea, flushed face. So I spent most of that morning with an ice pack on my face and a puke bucket beside me. I got another shot this morning and I felt fine. I get a break till week 25.

Along that steroid kick I just thought I'd make a list of steroid athletes that broke our heart:

| Mindy is a huge Cards fan and I'm from Baltimore (Orioles) so seeing two of our most important players, McGwire and Palmeiro together on trial seems...well, it looks like this isn't just a mustache convention gone wrong... |
Also, from my childhood, another user shocked me:
The Routine...
This week has ben pretty uneventful. I swam on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Wheel chair ride on Tuesday and Thursday. Other then that I just lay here and try to keep myself entertained. As I get bigger it's harder and harder to lay here because of the back and hip pain. I have to grab the bars on the side of the bed to roll over. Fun times. I think I'm going to have to figure out what salon does bedside pedicures soon as a little treat for being here a month. It will all be worth it when our girls are born.

We're a week away from the big Week 24 which is supposed to be "viability week" where the kiddos would have a good chance to survive. A lot will happen this next Monday, not the 13th, but the 20th as the doctors decide on Mindy's parole hearing. ...click on the link below to see Mindy asserting her rights as a woman who has been laying in bed waaaaay too long ...
We've got another ultrasound on Monday and Mindy will show the doctors her belly and ask if it's big enough yet...

On another note, the babies are kicking a bit harder:
