22 weeks

So we got to go hear Baby Love's heartbeat on Monday. I LOVE it. I could listen to it all day... seriously!! She asked where he was hiding, so I said I felt him mostly on the left side and she immediately found him. But then he moved around. He kept playing hide and seek with the doppler. She finally got him to hold still long enough to get a count of 148 bpm.

I unfortunately have now caught the flu. It started out with a horribly dry cough on Monday and Tuesday. I never carried a fever, but thought I should call the Dr anyways to see what I could take. He told me to take Benadryl Allergy. Not sure how it was going to help, but I bought it anyways. So, I decided to take work off today to try and rest. Good thing I did, I now have horrible aches and a temp of 100.5:( I feel horrible. Let me complain for a minute: My chest hurts from coughing, my sides hurt from coughing, I swear I pee every time I cough (not really but you get the gist), I have horrible aches that my skin is crawling, I can't get comfortable because my hips hurt so bad, the list keeps going but I think you get the point. I even googled if I was hurting my baby from coughing so much. But have no fear the computer says Baby Love is going to be just fine.

So anyways, I had to call my OB because of my temp and they sent me in a script for tamiflu. They won't even see you anymore so you don't expose the office, so they call in tamiflu. Then I had to call my normal dr because I needed more of my inhaler because my asthma is out of wack. I hate having to take so much meds while pregnant, but they assure me I and the baby will be fine. So tonight my cocktail will be 2 puffs of albuterol, tamiflu, zofran and unisom. *Sigh* I sure hope baby love doesn't hate me for all this:( You know what's the best about all this, is I just got the flu shot on Friday. Yup, I get the flu shot and end up getting the flu. This happened last time I got it too, so therefore I refuse to get it ever again!!
