Being Sick and Pregnant - SUCKS!

It's hump day and I've been sitting on my hump all day because I'm home sick. Being it's the week before the start of the fall semester- this probably the worst week of the year for me to be sick but at this point I just had to give in, stay home, and try to get better. Being that Sam gave me this awesome cold, here is my 26 weeks "bump" picture because it's seemed to be the most fitting-

Yesterday I actually had another doctors appointment. It was the appointment that they check to make sure that I have don't have gestational diabetes. I drank a the "orange drink" (it's like a little thicker McD's Orange High-C) and then I had to wait an hour to have them draw my blood. The baby loved the extra sugar from the drink because he's was having a party in there.

Also while at the appointment I asked about what I can do about this cold. The answer "Yeah- nothing really." Well, isn't that great. So I've done everything I can (that I'm allowed to) to kick this cold out of me, but I can't get better soon enough.

If had give any advice to any other pregnant ladies out there dealing with a crappy cold here's what I suggest-

1. OJ needs to become you favorite drink. I like to mix my OJs- 1/2 regular & 1/2 fun flavor of OJ (Strawberry, Banana, Orange is my favorite).

2. Invest in good tissues. I normally just have cheap tissues around the house, but being it's "back to school" time- the good tissues were on sale. I'm so glad I picked up a new box with lotion because it's saving my poor nose.

3. Sometimes sticking your head in a hot shower helps knock the junk loose.

4. Pet snuggles can make you feel a little better because they are just so cute!

5. Rest, rest & more rest. This is the hardest one for me but I'm trying.

Well, I think it's time for my afternoon "cat nap". Shamrock is already ahead of me on this one!
