Week 28

This was a very challenging week.  Apparently having a low immune system is not fun at all and my body decided to try and tackle a cold.  I did not win.  For three whole days I battled a cold.  What makes it even worse is being pregnant means not a lot of options for medicine.  It was not easy taking it because of course you are wondering how this will affect the little human you are growing.
In the end with the encouragement from my OB and my husband I gave in and took some medications for two of the days.  After that I went cold turkey determined I could fight off the rest by myself.  I am finally feeling like my old self.  I will say sleep and lots of liquids did help in the end.  I had not slept like that in quite a while.  I feel like every time I laid my head down I slept.
On the other front baby penguin is growing.  I can definitely feel her more, and by that I mean she is more of this big mass and I can tell where she is and what she is doing.  I am pretty sure I felt my first hiccup from her!  She also seems to like it when I am talking to her dad.  She will let us know she is there when we are talking!  I love that because it makes me feel like she wants to be included in the conversation.  She also seems to like it when I sing to her so I try to do that often.
I again am counting by days now and she can make her appearance in 78 days!!!  I cannot wait to meet this little girl and watch her grow!
Here a picture of my pup Ariel Marie, she would not leave my side while I was sick!  Love this little dog!
