Almost halfway there and I finally feel a lot better. The back trouble is starting up but that is better than being sick. We are confident that this is our last go round so I am trying to cherish this pregnancy, which is much easier now that I am not feeling so awful. A few weeks ago I had a bad cold or the flu. Since I can't take anything when I am pregnant and probably wouldn't anyway I relied on home remedies to get me through. First, lots of rest. I have finally come to the point where I realize it is not worth it to keep going when I am sick. I parked myself on the couch on Friday and stayed there until Monday. Thankfully I have Dave to allow me to do that. Then I drank a lot of hot lemon water, lemon is full of vit. c and a naturally detoxifies. I did take Tylenol for severe pain or high fever. At night when I was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe I sliced onions and put them in my socks and they opened my nose right up. And of course I couldn't live without my nettie pot! I rinsed my sinuses a lot! Now the weather is warming up and hopefully all the germs are gone so we can be well all summer!!!
