Holy sick!!!

Tip #1: Dont get sick while pregnant!!  

I am up, yet again, (this is day 3) at 5am trying to soothe this stupid cough with the umpteenth cup of honey lemon tea. I caught what is going around, and in normal circumstances, I'd be taking it fine because I would have gallons of Nyquil at my disposal. 

But since I am pregnant and have to take the "au natural" approach, I am on day 3, now with laryngitis and a cough that is so horrendous, hubs is now taking day 3 off from work because even with me in a different room he still hasnt gotten any sleep for 3 nights.

The poor dear ran to the store last night at 1am for me after I had a break down. You know how hard it is to cry when your throat is closed up???  So I am out here after another coughing fit, hoping the honey will do something amazing this time, and hoping hubs can get some rest while I am being soothed. 

My boss even called ME to tell me to take Friday off as well. I dont think I will make it to the BBQ tonight, or sailing Sunday, but that is fine with me, only if I can sleep. I dont have a freakin voice anyways. 

Any one have any ideas for me? Aside from jumping off a cliff???

you can take any of the Tylenol cold meds and Dimatap meds-- they are both safe to be taken during pregnancy--it's worth it to both you and the baby for you to feel better by taking these...

Good luck--

Lew is home for the 2nd day with fever, dry cough and body aches-- I don't want it!
