I pray that all goes well Lynn and hang in there. I had a pretty good Thanksgiving and yesterday went and bought some things for the kids for Christmas. Wow people were pretty mean yesterday and couldn't get over how bad they shove but I made it through and got quite a bit done.

Brenda is doing better, we are just awaiting for the court hearing to end this nightmare. Haven't heard when that will be yet though.

Lynn I have looked at the WII and it sounds really good. After having the baby I am going to check into it that's for sure. As for me I am doing pretty good so far. I am 9 weeks along and so far not much morning sickness. The asthma is messing with me though and have to use the relief but really doing very well so far. Sugar is staying mostly in check and so is blood pressure so I am happy. How about you and your family? How is your daughter doing?

Moving to a new place always requires acclaimation to the environment. It can make your asthma real testy. Won't take much to stir it up.

I just moved to Texas and I had to get my maintenance inhaler, Symbicort, refilled.
I've been using it regularly on a daily basis since I got here.
I haven't really worked out because of it.
I do have a rescue inhaler but when I use that, I have to use it again later.
Hopefully, I'll get used to the weather change and this won't be an issue for long.

Things went real good and baby looked fine. I am due June 30th but figure with this being 3rd I will go early. I took a flu shot Tuesday and man is it coming back to get me. I have chest congestion, coughing and having to use the relief inhaler just to breath. What fun stuff to have right before Thanksgiving.

I was able to do a couple of hours of yard work today. It was sunny and warm and we needed to freshen up the front yard for Thanksgiving. We are having guests and I wanted it to look welcoming and nice. My DD is bringing home her young man. Wish me luck!

good luck with your appointment!
I had to use my inhaler for the first time in forever last night. I believe it was a combination of overdoing it mixed with my 3-year-old cousin gave me his cold (so gracious of him).

Thanks so much to both of you. I have not really pushed anything with this pregnancy in hopes all will continue to go well. I have not been doing any exercising and for the most part staying at a decent calorie range. Heartburn is coming on quick this time but taking tums for that. Yes Sue I know that once I see all is ok Friday I will settle down more and not live with such scaredness. I will let you know what I find out.

Cherly, you are doing just great. You are such a good mama and are resisting those cravings to give this little one the best start in life. Remember it's not about what not to do but what to do instead that matters. I will keep you in my prayers for your doctors appointment on Friday. You will find the stress and worries begin to lessen in the coming weeks. Prayers said for you and your dear family, my friend.

I am alittle over 7 weeks along and will go in for my first OB appt on Friday. They will do an ultrasound and then I will see the doctor also. I have the nausea every now and then but not real bad but the food cravings have already started.

Lynn I think alot of mine is coming from some medicine the OB doctor put me on to help me carry the baby and hopefully not miscarry. It's called Prometrium and has some harsh side effects but hopefully only 3 to 4 more weeks of taking it and I will be done. I stay so bloated that it feels hard to breath and gets frustrated.

Hey team and how are things going? I am battling some today with breathing. I feel so bloated with the medicine I am one and feel like it's tough to breath for me with some chest tightness. I hope the rest of you are doing better than me.

Good Morning,

I'm new here my name is Ty, but I feel it's important to start to be apart of a community of people who have asthma and living their lives with it, working to be healthy.

Today I have to go the doctor and get my medicine. I've been taking it easy as I haven't been feeling well.

Good Luck with your marathon, I ran when I was younger. You don't want to push yourself. If you feel you'll have to walk then walk. You must train for at least six months to get used to running long distances. It's awonderful feeling to finish the distance so enjoy it!

Ricci - Good luck with the half marathon. You can do it, just take it a day at a time. Start by running a bit here and there inbetween walking.

Does anyone know about taking an inhaler during pregnancy? My pharmacist said to try not to use it. My daughter thinks she might be and her asthma is really acting up. She sees the doctor on Friday

The next 3 months are going to be work out tough for me. My cousin's talked me into doing my first half-marathon. It's hard for me to jog a mile without having an asthma attack since my asthma is exercise induced. I'm trying to work up to running more, but I have a feeling I'll walk most of it.

Good Morning Everybody It's been a great weekend and I am looking forward to a great week. Welcome to all new members, hope we get to chat. My asthma is pretty good right now, but I have been taking muscinex dm and my allergy pills and my inhalers. I can tell if I don't take them. Needless to say I'll keep it up. Hope everyone has a great week and hope we all have great accomplishments this week. Take care and God Bless
you all......................Rebecca

Cherly - I think I am back!! I am back to almost my starting weight so I now have 20 pounds to lose before the end of the year. Are we having a challenge this month? If so count me in!!

I have been noticing my chest is also getting tight so I guess I need to get my inhaler out and start using it. :(
