Bed Rest...

A few months ago, I was told that pregnancy compromises your immunity and that I will catch everything that crosses my path. Honestly, I rolled my eyes at this... I hadn't been sick in forever, this WOULD NOT be me. Fast forward to me sitting in bed as I type this, literally coughing all over the screen and surrounded by used tissues, soup bowls and Popsicle sticks. I have been sick in some form for 3+ weeks, feel asleep in a public place on Tuesday, out of work for 4 days now and have been in bed for 3 of those. This really sucks, I feel like I can slightly empathize with those women who are on bed rest for their pregnancies, I seriously cannot imagine doing one more day of this! I'm going a little nuts.... If I see the John & Kate plus 8 commercial again, I might... well... have to turn off the TV.

Although, on a positive note I slept in until 11 this morning, have discovered online scrabble, have had the time to update this blog, and have been exposed to deliciously awful daytime TV. I am a little more freaked out about taking medicine for relief (although my Dr said that the antibiotics I'm on are fine for me and baby)... Korey has been pretty tolerant of me... I sent him out for Cloroseptic spray at 10pm last night and he was so kind to get it for me (begrudgingly), he brought me Panara soup yesterday for lunch and made me dinner the night before (yum, soup and burned grilled cheese.. just like Mom used to make in the old days). I kid... sort of. The saddest part was not being able to put Alise to bed the other night and seeing how sad she was that our nightly ritual was interrupted. She ended up climbing into bed with me later and put her arm around me.... still my cutie pie.

On a side note... we find out this coming Tueday (11/11) what we are having, stay tuned for the news!
