...but barely.
I got sick. Like really really sick. It started off as a soar throat and ended up as a serious upper respiratory infection. I work in cubeland, and a lot of the people around me have been sick so I knew it was coming. The problem is that I don't like taking medicine while pregnant, so I stubbornly held off taking anything. II used my neti pot, and bought one of these hoping I could cure this problem the "natural way":
(can you tell I was getting desperate?)
My stubbornness, in reality, probably made things a lot worse because the mucus backed up into all my sinus cavities and ears, and moved down into my chest. Yesterday, after trying to fight this off on my own for over a week, I broke down and went to the doctor. He confirmed what I already knew, I have a bad sinus infection. He prescribed Amoxicillin and told me to take some Robitussin DM. After googling enough to make me sufficiently comfortable to take these meds, I headed to the pharmacy to get all drugged up. I'm happy to report today I woke up already feeling better. Let's hope this is the only illness I face this pregnancy.
I have lots to report on nursery progress, but that will have to wait until I get all caught up on work!

I just wigged out because my boss came to work three days in a row with pink eye and my assistant came in three days in a row with something that can only be described as a precursor to H1N1. Freaking idiots. It's called a SICK DAY. Common courtesy says you take one if you're sick, but if you work in the same room as a pregnant lady then stay the fork home!
I am so glad you are feeling better! I can't wait to see nursery progress!
I'm so sorry you are sick! I also got a nasty sinus infection around 20 weeks. Not fun at all being sick while pregnant. I hope you feel better soon!
So sorry you got so sick, but glad you're on the mend. Take care! :)
Oh no! You poor thing. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm sorry you were so sick, but glad to hear you are feeling better!!
