He makes the bad days better

Well, I seem to have come down with a rather horrendous cold, which is made all the worse by the fact that I can't take many medications while pregnant, and that I was already having difficulty breathing and positioning myself for sleep without the added complications of congestion and a horrid body-wracking cough

Husbands are great like that.

A recommendation for the hacking coughing stuff - have you ever had hot and sour soup from a Chinese restaurant? If you could stomach it, that might really help clear the cold symptoms out. The vinegar + ginger would be good for it.

And oranges!

Feel better soon!

Thanks for the tip, that's a good idea.

I commiserate with you. Sudafed worked great for me and its allowed. When the baby is pressing against your lungs get on your hands and knees and sometimes that will convince it to move to an easier possition that does not press against as many vital organs. We love you!

Thanks for the encouragement and the empathy.

Aw. I lack useful tactics for medication-free colds (other than essential oils like lavender or mint, and maybe Breathe-Rite strips), but I'm glad your husband is being so good. And the baby furniture sounds very pretty!

*hugs* I hope you feel better soon.

I'm finally starting to feel just a little bit better, thanks for the well wishes. Hope the congestion clears up more before I have to fly this weekend, though.

AWEEE....

How sweet!!!
When I am sick, Greppy is usually pretty good to me too. Good job Gryl!!

I'm so excited to see your baby stuff, even though it won't be for a while. Tell me all about how you're doing the nursery.

Well if you go online to babiesrus (through amazon) you can see my registry, and the picture of the bedding is probably going to give you the best indication of what that theme is.
