I met with Dr. Z today. At first I was upset because I was telling him about my dad being sick but for some odd reason by the time I finish my visit with him I always feel better. He has that way about him. He knows I am trying to get pregnant and he told me that 1/3 go into remission 1/3 get worse 1/3 stay the same. Of course ideally we would try to take as little medication during pregnancy but if I need it he will continue to give it to me. He siad in all his yearrs of practice he has not seen any less than healthy babies in his patients who continued their pain medication. He jas seen miscarriages but believes they were caused by other issues not the pain meds. He warned me that the ob doc would try to get me off them but only I know what and how much pain I can handle. So he said we would cross that bridge when we came to it. He just wanted me to know upfront that if I need my pain meds he will not take them from me just because I am pregnant so I feel so much better about that issue. Hopefully I will go into a wondeful remission and never need them again but I have to be realistic. 7 more days and I can take a pregnancy test. I wish I could take one now but it is way too early. I want to hear the little pitter patter of baby steps so bad. After all the negative I need some good in my life. This new house is so freakin' huge even when Katie and Adam are home it is sooo quite. In 2 weeks our puppy will be born and we can bring her home right before Christmas. Adam actually wants to get 2 so we can breed them. They are golden retreivers and hav hip guarantees so we may end up bringing home 2. It will give me something to do since Katie is at school. She already named hers Fancy. Okay got of subject there. Just wanted to update on my appt.[/SIZE]
