Say No To Sinus Infections!

Hi there! :) Just a quick blog entry about saying no to sinus infections RIGHT before labor and delivery! :)
On Friday night I had another fun "non sleeping" night (grrrrrrrrrrrrrr). And not only did I not really sleep at all, I also felt like a freight train had run me over (another grrrrrrrrrrrrr). I had lots of sinus pressure and lots of misery in general. I kept thinking "I have to get better before my induction on Thursday b.c I cannot go into labor like this". Every pregnant women hates to get sick in any form or fashion b.c there is really not much at all that you can do/take to feel better. Usually you have to just ride it out. Boo. :(

So Sat morning Chris and I headed over to my general practicioner's office (LOVE that they have Sat office hours)....and we told them that I needed to get well before Thursday. :) They were very helpful, and thought it was sinuses, and maybe a little bacteria that could be cleared up quickly (Praise the Lord!). So I got a 10 day Amoxicillin perscription, and I was happy as a lark to take that and start getting better soon. I rushed to Walgreens to get my day off to the right start! :)

As of today (a day and a 1/2 on the medication), I am feeling better..so that is a bonus. I still sound like I feel awful but I really am getting better. :) I hope to be in the clear by Thursday morning when I head in. The best news about getting on the medicine is that I sleep like a baby at night!! I LOVE IT!! :) I passed out on Sat and Sunday nights...and it was wonderful sleep. So I am a happy gal! :)

Chris and I did a funny photo shoot yesterday...just so we could have some random pics to show Braden one day. Here is one of our favorite ones....ha! :) It is one of Braden saying hi from the womb just one more time before he makes his arrival! LOL! :) He is super excited to meet everyone! :)
