Feeling craptastic!

Tuesday, May 03, 2011

Still get nauseous daily- yippy! But I can't complain, as I feel the baby moving regularly now- which is an AMAZING feeling. I don't think anyone can really appreciate how wonderful it is until they experience it themselves. The crud seems to be lingering still. I have this cough, tickle in my throat. I'm pretty convinced that this is just going to continue until I deliver.

I've been pretty bad about logging into spark. I'm exhausted by the end of the day and work has been a bit to crazy lately to swing by. Excuses, excuses, I know. I'm definitely going to be using my maternity leave time to create some good habits, one of the many being logging in daily and tracking my food.

It IS so amazing to feel the baby move. That was my favorite thing about being pregnant!! Sorry you are still not feeling well. Does the doctor have any insight as to why it has lingered for so long? Always glad to see you back on here whenever you find the time. Don't beat yourself up. You are doing your best. :) Report Inappropriate Comment

How long should this take?

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Although I am feeling much better than I was... I still have a bit of a cough. How long is this supposed to take to go away? This cough does not even begin to compare to what it was before- but it's still frustrating to be coughing at all after all of this time and all the antibiotics.

Unfortunately coughs are hard to get rid of. It's good that it's better than before. Sorry to hear that it's still hanging around. Hope it goes away soon. Laurie Report Inappropriate Comment

Checking in...

So finished all my meds, which seemed to help. My cough is under control. I wouldn't say it's gone completely though :( I hope it will go away eventually. Good news is that I have not felt as nauseous anymore. I'm more excited about that then anything. I hope I don't jinx myself by actually writing that out though, LOL. Half way there... just 20 weeks to go!

Infection! Go away!

Sunday, March 27, 2011

I have been sick for almost a month now! They finally decided to give me some meds. Told me that I have a sinus, throat, ear and eye infection... sweet... thanks so much for that. So they gave me amoxicilian... 3000 mg a day! If this doesn't get rid of it, I don't know what will. I am so sick of coughing! I just want to be able to take a breath again without feeling like I might lose a lung.

I hope you feel better soon! Remember to take a probiotic when this is all through. That will help you bounce back afterwards. Report Inappropriate Comment

Bad Bad Sparker

Thursday, March 17, 2011

I've been really bad about logging in lately. I have just been exhausted and sick and blah. This pregnancy seems to be taking so much out of me. I have this horrible chest cold that I just can't seem to kick. My immunities just suck right now. I am so very lucky to have such a helpful husband! He really has been doing so much for me lately and I don't think I could handle it without him. Poor Xavier, he needs his mommy back. I've still got 22 1/2 weeks left of this pregnancy... sad that I'm already counting down. This will definitely be my last one.
