Grrr....stupid flu!

mom2one&babybean · #1 (**permalink**) 03-15-2008, 12:05 PM

So, we finally finished my dd's big-girl room and I can move all of her stuff over to it so I can do my final touches on the nursery. The weather changed and it's been beautiful and in the 80's...so what happens? I got the flu!!

So now that's all on hold.

Now I'm coughing 50 times a day...and to add to that fun, I pee every time I cough. How glamorous, eh? And to top it all off, my poor 2 1/2 year old woke up in the middle of the night last night with a fever and the same cough as me. (sigh)

I am so tired of being sick this pregnancy. I had every intention of trying to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I did my first one, but between colds, varicose veins, food poisoning and now the flu...it's just not working. My DH is working like 6 days a week (12 hour shifts) so I'm basically on my own.

Okay, sorry for the pity party, but I do feel better just getting it all out. I know some of you have it way worse than me. I just HATE being sick. And even more than that, I hate seeing my little girl sick. Hopefully this will pass by soon and I can get back to baby preparations!!

Ick...I am so sorry!! We've been battling flus and different bugs since Christmastime -- so I know how frustrating it is!!

I sure hope your daughter can get over it quickly (or not get it at all!) and you are feeling better soon.

I hope you and your daughter start to feel better soon! Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy after you get past this.

I'm sorry Ann Marie!

We have been battling sickness in this house too (for quite some time it seems!) and it's just no fun! I can sympathize with you on the cough/pee thing too...that's great isn't it? My cough lingered for an entire month. I do hope that it passes through you a little quicker!

(((big hugs))) to you and your family!

yuck!! I hope you get to feeling better soon and remain sick free for the rest of your pregnancy. It stinks being sick and it double stinks when you are pregnant!!

I hope you and your little girl feel better real soon!

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well, Ann Marie! I hope the flu goes away quickly for you and Rachel.

Thanks ladies. Wow, I can't believe so many of you have been so sick too. And some of you have been sick for so long. I'm sorry I was complaining! I guess it was just a really bad flu/bug season. Here's to a healthy, healthy remainder of our pregnancies!!! Thanks again for the kind words. (((hugs)))

{{{hugs}}} it's not easy being sick and pregnant! My kids are pretty much over it, but it is still lingering for me, and I finally invested in "adult daipers" they are like pads but made for urine. Embarassing, I know, but not as embarassing as coughing and having pee run down my leg! I hope you guys get to feeling better so you can enjoy the rest of the pregnancy!

HUGS!! I hope you feel better soon. My dh is starting to get something, so I'm hoping that I can avoid catching whatever it is.

My dd woke up in the middle of the night last night. Looks like her "flu" is croup. So she had a 103.7 degree temp, horrible wheezing and barky cough. It was so scary. I was up all night w/the poor baby to make sure she was breathing. Looks like we are both going to be sick for a while longer. C'mon summer. I need some sun!
