A welcome respite

So I started the Cleocin. Tonight will be my last night with that. MY OB said it was safe
and I called the prescribing doc back again just to be 100% sure it was safe and he said
yes.

I started to relax when I read a little message board post that lots of medications say
"do not take if pregnant" because the FDA is loathe to test drugs on pregnant women.
There are even directions on Progesterone suppositories "do not use if pregnant" and OBs
specifically prescribe that for women in high-risk pregnancies.

So I guess all is well.

It also did not cause any spotting, which was pretty nice.

This weekend we are vacationing in Lake Geneva with my parents and my sister and her husband. I am currently blogging poolside. This dacquiri is mighty tasty. As is the cigarette I’m enjoying. Without sunscreen.

But it is very nice. We're staying in a condo on a lake. There's a nice pool and it's sunny and warm. My mom is waiting on me, which is always nice, and my dad even made a special trip to the store to buy me some peanut butter. Niiiiiiiice.

I have felt pretty good the last few days, very few episodes of nausea. I dare say the worst may be behind me.

Yesterday I bought some Preggo Pops at the maternity store. They are sweet and sour and supposed to help with the nausea. I did not look at a single item of clothing there -- too weird and I need my sister with me for the first outing.

But I did buy my first maternity clothes, well, kind of.

I buy about 90 percent of my wardrobe at Express. And this season, the style that's all the rage in "The O.C. watching Crowd" is strappy tanks that look like maternity tops. Brilliant!

Express was having their end-of-summer clearance so I got two shirts. They zare totally in style now, and when we go to Barbados in September and I am starting to show, they will be perfect.

Yay. But since they're not really maternity per se, I don't have to count them as really being maternity.
