Not much is going on here. Spring is getting closer. I have lots of yellow crocuses in bloom around the yard, and a couple daffodils are blooming. The weather isn't extremely cold any more, but it isn't yet what I'd call warm.

The big tip-off that spring is on its way is that my seasonal allergies are coming on strong. I feel like itching my whole face, especially my eyes. K seems to have seasonal allergies too. Mostly her nose is running a lot. I've got that, too. Benadryl works well for me, but it makes me tired. It's good for night time, but not daytime. Claratin does nothing for me, and it doesn't make me tired. I talked to a pharmacist today who suggested Allegra as another non-drowsy alternative, but that requires a prescription. I've called my doctor's office to see if she'll prescribe it. I'm hoping she won't need to see me first; she did a complete physical in October so she's pretty up-to-date about my health.

I saw my ob/gyn this past Tuesday to see about sterilization. I'm hoping to get that done in April at a time when my mom can come for a visit. I'm terrified of surgery, though, and I dread the recovery. I hate how I feel when I'm pregnant, I don't want any more children, I'm sick of worrying all the time about an oops, and I'm terrified of going through labor so even though I'm also terrified of surgery, it beats another pregnancy when I have the exact number of children I want.
