Well, I am recovering, slowly but surely, from my first pregnancy cold. I have managed to get through my pregnancy to week 30 1/2 without an illness (not counting the morning sickness of course) so I guess cold and flu season is only fitting to be the time when I experience my first bout with not being able to take any meds at all! I stayed home from work on Monday which was well needed. I used to take sick days all too often when they didn't involve being sick at all. Then I got pregnant - where being sick didn't involve a case of "just don't want to go today" or "ahem ahem, I think I have a cough...coincidentally it is 80 and sunny"... enough about that though - a cold is a cold no matter what meds you can or can't take. Sleep is still the best medicine and that is not something I come short of these days. I do sleep a lot, just in shorter stints vs a full nights' sleep!
So, Friday night we had a wonderful night out with two wonderful friends celebrating their first two weeks of marriage - and another amazing happening in life which I can't get in to at this point... all in all it was a GREAT night and we are very lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives, these two are no less than a blessing.
Late that night however, my throat started to swell a bit. I thought it was exhaustion setting in as I rarely stay up past 9, much less 11. Saturday morning confirmed (say about 3am, 4am and 6am...) that I indeed had something coming on. All day I was moving at turtle speed trying to get the house cleaned for Sunday festivities. It was all I had just to get out of the house in my sweats to Lowes - because that is one of my favorite places to go with my husband.
Saturday night brought an early bed time all by myself because Jason was at Chad and Leslie's pretending (and soon after regretting) that he still likes to pretend he's in his early 20's. It was a lovely night of Unisom and Massey snuggles. Christy was in town for the weekend so she came over for some home made chili and great conversation. Just can't get enough of that girl - wish she were here more...or all that time!
Sunday morning = bring on the kleenex! Throat issues were the least of my worries! I had full sinuses and although my energy level seemed fairly high, I still had to pace myself while getting dressed even. Christy came over and I managed to create my second home made apple pie of the week (what?!?! I know, crazy). And soon enough the living room was full of 6 wonderful ladies all celebrating Baby C with me! We talked, laughed - a lot - and ate - a lot - and I received some amazing gifts! Another wonderful shower for me to laugh at my earlier posts where I had anxiety if anything was going to turn out the way I wanted as far as showers went.
That evening Jason and I both napped (for different reasons yet both very necessary) and then had an easy dinner and early bedtime. Monday, like I mentioned, was a day spent in bed and on the couch, but was well justified.
