Drugs Are My Friend

Thank you for all of your suggestions on a place to go for a Babymoon. Tentatively we're thinking St. George and maybe a day trip to Las Vegas (to see Celine Dion, of course). That is, as long as I'm feeling up to a Babymoon.

I went to the dr yesterday and she put me on a new drug that seems to be working so far. I had been throwing up nonstop again so the medication I was on was not helping anymore. I have lost 11 pounds in the past 6 weeks and I'm getting dehydrated again - both of which are cause for concern. The baby still sounds ok though so that's good at least. As much as I'm loving this new drug there is a drawback. Each pill costs somewhere around $80 a pill so insurance doesn't cover a lot. Our insurance is really good but it only covers about 15 pills a month. That means I can only take one every other day instead of two every day like all my other prescriptions have been. Kind of sucky but I guess feeling good at least part of the day every other day is better than feeling crappy all day every day. I'll take what I can get.

The irony of this situation is that Hubby and I have been asked to speak in church on Sunday about overcoming trials:) This is probably as big of a trial as I've ever had so hopefully I have gained something from it and can share that with our congregation on Sunday. Good thing I got this medication so I'll be able to make it to church, although I think Hubby would have been happier if I was deathly ill that day and he had to stay home to take care of me!
