bleck

i am sick. for the first time since getting pregnant & it sucks. my doc never gave me that handy dandy reference list of what is okay to take & what isn't. so last night i was miserable because i couldn't get in touch with them. i ended up taking 2 tylenol pm's, using a saline nasal spray & sucking on vitamin c lozenges. which all means that combined with my craptastic humidifier that really doesn't work much anymore i feel 10x worse this morning. instead of just a head cold with a super stuffy & runny nose i now can add hacking cough to the list.

thankfully i talked to the nurse who let me know that there are a few things i can take- which i plan on doing as soon as i get done with the only thing i really have to do today which is go to a meeting. luckily i know everyone there already & don't have to be considered rude for sitting int he corner & not breathing on anyone or shaking any hands.

one thing that has me concerned is that caiden isn't quite as active as usual. is this normal when mom is sick? i can still feel her rolling around & little light flutters, but i haven't felt much of the big belly moving kicks that she usually has several times a day. when do i actually need to be concerned? thanks!

*update- this little girl must take after me somehow- she started rolling & kicking during my meeting & then tonight while i was relaxing & watching a movie with the hub she went insane! the hub was even surprised at her kung-fu! so she reassured me that she is just fine while mommy feels like utter crap!

sorry to hear you are sick! Yuck!
As for the movement: the bigger that girl gets, the less she can move. Get used to it. By the time you are fully loaded you may only feel her slithering around:) I am sure she is great, but do counts if you need to. Always made me feel better.
Get well!

Ick. I hope you're feeling better soon.

(And good job, Caiden. When Mom asks, you need to move for her, okay?)

Im' sorry you feel like crap darling. Hand out this weekend and watch some bbc with me. :) You can finally see that commercial I hate.

love you!

p.s. - about the "pink" toys. See, I kept all the baby toys I could for karl, only giving you the ones I couldn't use, which were all the pink things. Tell hubby it's not like that, it's just the pink stuff was what I couldn't still use.
