Pregnant with the Plague

via

I am 34 weeks pregnant. I also am coming out the other side of a particularly nasty cold. What the heck body?! You made it almost to the end of Henry's time baking in the oven. When other people have been falling all over themselves with various illnesses, you have maintained a level of immunity I have never before enjoyed! You led me to believe that Henry gives me super powers against germs. What gives?!?

Having a cold when I have a five pound person inside my belly, is an interesting experience. When I cough, he punches as if to say "quiet out there!" I am able to take plain Robitussin. This is no good as it makes me cough more. I sleep sitting up, which pains the old back, if I sleep at all. Since I can't take any meds, I wake poor Hubby up frequently. I wheeze, I sneeze and I hack. But at least I am feeling better now!
