My husband is adorable

I'm gonna go with some bullet points here:

• Not sure, yet, if the meds are stopping the contractions -- hopefully so.  Thursday was a really rough day.  The new med had me loopy and disconnected and feeling like I was high all day long.  And, whenever I stood up I contracted again.  I took a 1 1/2 hour nap on the floor of my office over lunch because I truly could no longer function.  All I could think was "how on earth am I going to work on this med?"  I felt like my brain was in some other world.  
• Luckily, Friday was a lot better.  I've never gotten used to side effects so quickly.  Still feeling like there's a calm over me (but that's probably not a bad thing), and a little out of it, but not feeling like I just can't function anymore.  I started teaching using the video overhead projector -- seems to be working pretty well.  It definitely changes how I teach, though, because I feel like I'm not interacting with my students as much since I'm isolated behind the podium.  Also, I am a very animated, active teacher -- I flail around a lot and bop around the room.  I can't do that and stay seated so it's a little weird.  It'll work, though, and I definitely felt less tired at the end of the day not standing up a few hours.
• It's Spring Break!  Woohoo!! :)
• The med seems to have me retaining water and dehydrated all at the same time.  I've gained three pounds in 2 days.  My nose has stopped bleeding -- which you'd think would be good but now it's just swollen and stuffed up and I can't seem to do anything about it.  Hmm.  I am drinking lots and lots of water.  I'll talk to the MFM if this weight gain keeps happening so quickly.
• I'm going to spend the first day or two of my break hanging out on the couch.  I figure it will be good to relax a bit.  
• Yesterday we had this giant freak blizzard that came out of nowhere.  Huge wet flakes and whiteout conditions for about 2 hours.  Then, the temperature spiked up and it all melted by the afternoon.  Bizarre. 
• When I came out of my office to go home yesterday afternoon, this is what I saw on my windshield:

• My husband made me a little tiny snowman!  Complete with leaf arms!  Isn't that adorable?  I left him there for the drive home and he actually made it all the way (I only live a few blocks from work but can't walk in anymore).  He was my little protective dude.  
• That's all I've got.  Thanks to all of you for your comments the past few days.  I'm feeling good that we're going to stop this shortened cervix before it gets too bad.  We're not at the "bad" stage, yet, just at the cautious stage.  I'm really hoping we can stave off bed rest.  We'll see how it goes.
