Baby Boy is growing! Fortunately I'm still comfortable. No baby-related aches and pains, shortness of breath, anything like that, thank God! I did catch a bug of some sort and have been battling a pretty fierce upper respiratory infection for the last few days. My OB-GYN put me on a Z-Pak (antibiotics) and a bunch of over the counter stuff. I hate having to take medicine while I'm pregnant, but I guess it's better for the little guy that I'm able to breathe, no? In the meantime, Brad has been a saint, taking care of me and even sleeping in the office/guest room, since my hacking cough is not conducive to him sleeping (nor do we want him to catch this!).
Needless to say, last week was one I was all too glad to put behind me, what with the work drama, school deadlines and then getting sick on Thursday. My sickness caused me to have to cancel all my weekend plans... a bummer at first, but since I have been down for the count, I was able to finish the first of three term papers yesterday and start on the second. That's a silver lining! And Brad and I continue to praise God for an otherwise healthy pregnancy, active baby, and good communication between us.
Thanks for your ongoing prayers as I "struggle well" through the next couple of weeks and make it to the next joyful season of nesting and motherhood!
