Here I am, day three of laying in bed. Don't think I'm alone, Chief is right here with me. I think he knows I'm sick because he hasn't asked to go in and outside all day long, actually, not once. Or, it could be that it's 28 degrees outside and he's a pansy. Can dogs get the flu?
Having the flu and a sinus infection while pregnant is absolutely miserable. Does that mean the baby has the flu too? The doctor gave me a prescript for a Z pack and then I've been using Tylenol Sinus. I don't see an end in site. My throat is so sore that it looks like it's about to bleed. I have numbing spray, cough drops, bought a heated humidifier...
Ryan went out of town to Guymon. He is teaching all weekend. I think it's best he's gone so that he doesn't get the flu. Last night he slept in the other room to avoid getting sick.
Did I mention that yesterday was Valentines Day? I'm pulling a Steph...she ALWAYS is sick on V-Day, but not this year. Thanks for the jinx Steph. All I wanted for V-Day was to try Marble Slab Creamery. We went, but I couldn't even manage to stand up in line. I had to sit down because I had no energy. I told Ryan that I was going to die. Once I let a few bites digest, I threw it out. I'll go back some other time.
Later that evening I was able to eat some cheese and then a corn dog. Amazing what food can do to my body. I know the baby was hungry, so I had to force myself to eat something. Today I'm doing better with food. I've had applesauce with a banana for breakfast, then two corn dogs for lunch, with a granola bar as a snack. I'm still at a 7 lb gain. No weight gain in 3 weeks.
Almost forgot to tel you what I got Ryan for Valentines Day. I bought a white onesie and got it monogrammed with the following "My dad fights fire. My grandad fights crime. Over protected!" Ryan loved it. He held it in the air as if he was holding the baby. He told me, "Now if you'd just hurry up and hatch the baby." I'll get right on that...We find out on the 19th of Feb if it's a boy or a girl!
On a side note, the only good thing about me being the most pregnant during the summer is that I don't have to find pants that are long enough. I can't find any casual pants that are long!! I will enjoy just buying capris without worrying about length. The fashion world doesn't accomodate tall pregnant people.
