You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

Well, we spent the weekend suffering from yet another cold... all three of us.  This is a new record for our family - Josh hardly ever gets a cold and I usually get only one each winter.  If you are keeping track, this is my third cold while pregnant.  I didn't realize how lucky I was to remain illness free during my entire pregnancy with Olin.  Colds are bad enough anytime, but while pregnant, they are just miserable - the symptoms are worse, they last longer, and you can't take anything for them.  So baby girl and I are suffering through it unmedicated, and not graciously I might add, while my boys have taken it in stride and haven't complained at all.  They have also taken great care of me and the baby, Olin has doled out many hugs and kisses and Josh has been making me tea, cooking dinner, setting me up with the king of humidifiers and has even been sleeping on the couch the last several nights so that his coughing doesn't wake me up.  I know I say it all the time, but I really am a lucky girl.

And, in the spirit of trying to stay positive, I will say that it was nice to have an excuse to stay in and be lazy the last couple days.  I don't think any of us wanted to say goodbye to each other this morning because we had such nice family time this weekend, in spite of the runny noses and coughing.

Hope everyone had a nice and healthy weekend!
