Spring Fever...

LITERALLY! I woke up yesterday with a fever, sore throat, and stuffy nose. I seriously got up every 2 hours in the middle of the night just to blow my nose. So, I called the doctor to see if there was anything I should do or medicine I could take. I was worried that the fever might be dangerous for the baby. After talking with the nurse, she said I could take some Tylenol and children's cold medicine if I really needed it. Otherwise, I just had to rough it and if I got worse or didn't get better by Monday I was to call again. I ended up taking some Tylenol and Triaminic Cough and Allergy (the orange flavor). It was kind of fun because I used to LOVE that medicine when I was little. I was allergic to penicillin and so I always had to take these other nasty-tasting medicines instead. This was one that I actually liked, and from what I recall, it still tastes exactly the same. I also had Rick give me a blessing because I was still worried about the baby. The blessing gave me reassurance and comfort that the baby was healthy and I'd be better soon. Whew!

This morning I woke up and my fever was gone...I am so happy! My throat's still sore and my nose is still stuffy, but at least I'm not achey anymore. I am supposed to be at a CAEYC Conference for work today and tomorrow, but instead I am home resting. I don't want to be around thousands of people after just being sick. Luckily we are on spring break, so Rick was home to take care of me.

We did manage to do a few fun things earlier this week. I'll do a separate post for them because I did manage to get a few pictures. Tonight we are spending the night at my parent's because General Conference is tomorrow and we don't get it on our t.v. I still don't do too well with early mornings, so we figured this way I could still be in my pajamas and eating breakfast while watching. More to come later...

By the way, we find out THIS Wednesday what the baby is....I'm starting to get really excited!
