SO sick 😷 😷

Colleen • Mon, Apr 03 • 37 year old wife, RN and rescue dog lover. Expecting our first baby boy in April after consecutive miscarriages. 🌈

As if being 39+2 isn't exhausting enough I somehow managed to catch a terrible respiratory infection these past two days. I'm an RN and the hospital was literally a cesspool of flu and pneumonia all winter and I managed to avoid it. And I get it NOW?! So congested and coughing my brains out. Which inevitably makes me pee a little from the force and then need to get up and go... so literally up like every hour 😩

Doing Tylenol and Robitussin but anyone else have cough/cold meds that are baby safe or just home remedies to get well quick??

I'm so worried about going into labor now because I am physically so drained I don't think I could manage. Feeling miserable and a little down about the whole situation. I had hoped to have this weekend and early week to really finish up some organizing and nesting (since I'm finally off work) and now I don't have the energy to do anything.

Okay thanks for letting me vent! Hoping for a quick turn around on this cold. 🙏🙏
