I've found that one of the worst things that you can do while you're pregnant, is to catch a cold. There is nothing out there that is "legal" to use but Robitussin, and really, does Robitussin even work for normal people who are not pregnant? Anyway, we're still excited for this little boy to come into the world and as recognition of the big event, I have chosen frogs for my new background on this blog. "Jr." weighs about 2 1/4 pounds and is almost 15 inches long. He can blink his eyes, which are now sporting eyelashes. I hope he has long, dark eyelashes like Morgan. Guys with long eyelashes are so dreamy, hee hee. He can hear sounds like people talking. So the more you talk around me, the more he may recognize your voice when he's actually here. His lungs are developed enough that if he were to come right now, he could live with the help of machines for the first few weeks or months of his life. I'm going to persuade him to wait the whole 40 weeks. ;)
Well this is the big appointment where I have to take the gestational diabetes test. Just the whole timing of everything eludes me. I have to fast 2 hours before drinking the unbearably, sugary, flavored water in 5 minutes. And then I have to make sure that I have my blood drawn exactly one hour after I finish the solution. Does that confuse anyone else? Atleast I will be ableto say that I'm done with that after my appointment today. Unless I test positive and then I will have to do this three hour test. Let's just say I've got my fingers crossed.

I'm so sad that you had a cold while you are pregnant. Don't ever try having the stomach flu, I did that and it was not cool. By the way, I believe Pseudephed (I'm not sure how to spell that) anyways I believe that's okay to take. Hey, when are you going to come to my new place so I can talk to your stomach and get in with the little guy?
You are so cute. So far I have tried Clariten, Sudaphed, Benadryl, Robitussin and I snuck in a night with some Actifed. I try to keep one of those Breath Right strips on my nose at night too. I'm ok during the day but it's getting unbearable at night.
