(week 9)
I don't think I've mentioned yet that I'm also in school. Luckily the test confirmed things the same day I had to decide if I as going to drop any classes. I scaled back a little and I'm only taking two classes this semester, but sometimes even that is overwhelming. Between work and school most of my 'free time' is spent on the computer at home trying to meet deadlines. My house is a mess, my friends think I'm a hermit and I'm still barely keeping on top of everything.
This week I started to lose the battle. I woke up Monday morning with a cold. I stayed in, worked from home. The worst part is that the only thing I can take for it at this point is tylenol and a glass or orange juice - YAY.
I decided I had a few more tricks up my sleeve though. I went out and got Thai food take-out, a metric ton of produce and my secret weapon - pomegranate auice. A steady stream of super spicy coconut chicken soup, curry, citrus, and POM coupled with regimen of salt water gargle and nasal irrigation seem to have done the trick. Sounds lovely doesn't it?
Anyway, made it through the week and seem to be on the back side of the cold now.
... back to studying.
Craving this week: kiwi & calamata olives (not together though)
Pet Peeve: Having to waiting two more weeks to take Robitussin or Sudafed
Lesson Learned: My dog sleeps in a sun beam on the kitchen table when he thinks no one is home
To do list : Buy a humidifier

FYI.... you are allowed to take Sudafed while you are pregnant. Ask your doctor for a complete lists of meds that are ok to take while you are pregnant. If you get headaches still, then drink a coke to wash down your tylenol, that gives you two of the 3 ingrediants in excedrine migraine. (The third ingrediant which is a no no is aspirin.)
Based on the list I got, Sudafed IS allowed, but only after week 12 :(
