Sick

Well, this being fall and Henry in preschool, it was bound to happen. This last month the whole family has been sick. First it was Henry and me, then Aaron and now back to Henry and me. Poor little Henry has an ear infection with bad tasting medicine. He does such a good job and we can convince him to take it because it will make him feel better (and we give him a popsicle after it is done). I'm impressed at how reasonable he is. Hopefully in the next few days he'll perk up.

As for myself, I just have a bad cold. The worst thing is that I cannot take medicine to help the symptoms (well I can, but every medication has side effects and risks and I would rather not).  Last night my nose was crazy. Instead of fighting it, I just gave in and went to bed at 7:30.  I had to work today and wanted to be in the best condition possible. It's not horrible, but I don't like blowing my nose all the time and feeling absolutely void of energy.

With regard to my pregnancy, I am definitely in the home stretch. Over 75% done! I am glad of this and will now take things easy. I stopped walking to work as of now and I find myself more often than not with my feet propped up at home. Instead of thinking about 10 weeks to the big day, I'm chopping it up into mini goals. My first goal is 32 weeks, for the morbidity of the baby significantly decreases at that time. After this, it will be 36 weeks, which usually is the time you can take your baby home at. After that, 38 weeks, a nice, term date. After 38 weeks I'll go with whatever. I had a dream a few nights ago that I delivered her at 34 weeks. Let's home that is not a premonition, although in the dream I did get to see her face, and it was beautiful. I can't wait for that part.
