Sick + Pregnant = No bueno

Goodness, I must admit...I haven't been this sick in some time and being pregnant on top of it is well, NOT FUN. Drew and I have been sharing this amazing cold/flu all week. Monday I took the afternoon off because I felt it coming and wanted to fight it before it went into a full blown cold because there is nothing worse that being sick pregnant. Then I went to work Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday I woke up...completely sick. Nose, throat, cough, body aches, headache, temperature. Goodness, this isn't fun and I'm only on day three of this....so frustrating. Supposed to be going to a wedding tonight for a long time, family friend...that won't be happening. :(

I had a REALLY hard time giving in taking meds. I'm the type that doesn't like to take meds if I don't have too, let alone more so when I'm pregnant. I never really get headaches but with this, I felt like my head was going to blow, like it was in a vice. Unbearable pain. On top of it, my temperature kept rising which isn't good for baby and I have to keep it below a certain degree...so tylenol it was. I tried taking sudafed but I was so plugged it didn't even work, so I just stopped using that. So a spray of afrin at night it is to help me sleep. SO ready for this to be over. Oh no worries, my OB said these are all okay to take!

The fun thing is...all while laying on the couch, baby has been keeping me company! Two days ago I'm pretty sure I felt two little kicks in a row below my belly button. It was a amazing feeling. I went to go call for Drew to feel but, then baby stopped. I can't wait for him to be able to feel the kicking! Then yesterday afternoon it felt like baby had rolled over. It almost felt like a buldge in my stomach, like it's little tush moving. It was a crazy feeling.

Yesterday, while I was on the couch. My mom and dad had the boys and it was just beautiful outside. They took them down to the beach and my mom took this adorable pic! I love this pic and can't believe how big they are getting!

Next week when I blog...I will be 100% better and feel like a million bucks! :) I need to be better because we have Spring Break coming up and then I'm off to Arizona!! Until then...the couch, tea, water galore I go!
