My kids shared their cold with me, and I am miserable. I have coughed to the point my already sore muscles from being pregnant are screaming, and currently soaking in Icy Hot. I coughed so hard when I got home this morning that I threw up twice. I am stuffed up, and I have diarrhea. I have been living on Mucinex DM, which barely lasts the four hours it says it lasts, meaning I get e minor break from coughing, only to break out in horrible coughing spells again before the next dose kicks in. My voice has left me. I worked half a night last night because we had no patients in ICU, and I only had to monitor the telemetry monitor for med-surg. I am supposed to work tonight, and am hoping they didn't admit anyone so that my best friend and I can split the shift, though the chances of that are slim. Hopefully whatever patients are in there won't be too demanding, because I literally feel like death.
My baby shower (given by best friend mentioned above, along with 2 other co-workers) is on Saturday. I really really need to feel better by then. On top if everything, I have been begging dh and the kids to work on cleaning out Jackson's room, but no one has done a darn thing. I guess I will just have to try and stay up when I get home in the morning, so I can do the rest of the work myself.

Wow, you're 32 weeks already!! Your pregnancy seems to be going super fast!
I hope that you feel better by Saturday. I am sorry that your family is not helping with Jackson's room. You need to be getting some rest!

Still feel awful, but not as bad as when I first posted. Shower is today! I still have nowhere to put the gift when I bring them home.

I'm sorry you're still feeling poorly, Rachele! Enjoy your shower today! We didn't have anywhere to put the stuff we got with CJ, either. Heck...we didn't even have his crib put together when he was born! My FIL and hubby were putting it together two days before we came home!!

Put the gifts in your kids' rooms and on your dh's spot on the couch. Tell them that they can move the gifts into the baby's room as soon as they're finished cleaning it! Enjoy your shower, and hope you feel better.

Only seven people showed up, including the people throwing the shower. 70 people were invited. It was still very nice - a bunch of people that couldn't make it sent gifts. I was happy with the turnout until I got home and dh made the comment, "People must just not like you very much."

I still can't get DH to help with the room yet.. he "still has time"....um, TUESDAY!?? glad you are feeling better- Afrin has been my savior lately..
