I made the mistake of saying out loud last week that we had escaped one of the worst winters ever without sickness in our house. Not even 24 hours later, I got a call from Drew's school that he needed to be picked up due to his temperature. #fail
He stayed home from school for a couple of days and we fought the sickness with every ounce of our energy. Resting, fluids, soup, meds, inhaler, humidifier and TONS of hugs and kisses.
Apparently, sometimes you can beat the bug and by day 2 at home, he really wasn't even that bad! I, on the other hand, didn't escape so luckily. I've been under the weather for a few days and it's quite annoying how minimal you can take while pregnant. I had Derek stop and pick me up 6 huge oranges and have been gargling with salt water every few hours. Thankfully, it's now down to just a deep cough and runny nose, but fingers crossed it goes away soon!
But instead of leaving this post as pretty pointless and riddled with sickness, here's a cute video of Drew singing his favorite song. Sure he might be off from the words and the sun makes his face hard to see, but it's still so adorable.
Ugh no good! I hope you feel better soon! Being sick while pregnant should be against the law.
ReplyDeleteoh no! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI jinxed myself and then we had like the two weeks of sickness! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteBoo for being sick! Hope you get well soon!
ReplyDeletePS. that video is too adorable.
Yuck! We are fighting some colds here too! No fun!!! Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting in your home. Perfect for snapping pictures of your kid (soon to be kids!)!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better!'
ReplyDeleteBring sick sucks!! I hope you feel better soon! The video of Drew is too cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been making extra sure all my kindergarteners at school wash their hands often & over their coughs. Getting sick while pregnant is a fear of mine. Rest up & get better little lady.
ReplyDeleteOh no, hope you feel better by now! I once got sick this winter (while pregnant) and also was shocked that there is not much to take. Luckily I felt better a few days later. Sleep and oranges = magic :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Hope you get better soon- this winter has been horrible with sickness :(
ReplyDeleteI made the same mistake...except I dont think I actually said it out loud, I just remember thinking on Tuesday how winter was almost over and how I had not been sick...and bam! Thursday morning work up with a horrible sore throat that tuned into a head cold with cough. On top of the salt water and oranges, I've been drinking warm water with honey and lemon. I'm pregnant with our first, so I dont have a little one to take care of like you do - hope you all feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteThat video is absolutely precious! Hope you are feeling better. Being sick while pregnant is awful.
ReplyDeleteFighting the crud is NO fun, especially when it seems to go on for weeks. I finally gave in and saw a doctor on Friday (after 11 days of ick), and he told me it can take 18 days for a respiratory infection to truly pass, so hang in there friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that video!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you guys were feeling under the weather. I hope everyone is doing better!
Feel better!! Being sick and pregnant is THE WORST. Humidifier, saline nasal spray, and breathe right strips are all great. (Well, not as great as real drugs.)
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you feel better soon!!! I know that is miserable. I'm glad your little guy is doing better though. My little guy is sick again (we can't seem to get away from it this year) with what is shaping up to be a nasty cold & possibly pink eye (but honestly I think it is part of his cold/sinuses clogged).
