so yes, the dreaded flu hit me. again. i was feeling better, good enough to photograph the cute, 4 week old Lucas last week
(so adorable, i loved the session!)
but then the next day it hit me again, and this time much worse 🙁 usually i could probably just ride it out, but being pregnant means your body is always working overtime and your immune system is lower, so it’s been really tough to shake this virus without more antibiotics and forcing myself to rest
i’m finding it REALLY HARD to rest, i’m a multitasker and i cannot sleep the day away… but i’ve had to keep reminding myself that if i don’t slow down now, i’m headed straight for the ER again because the next stop is pneumonia. my iron levels & blood pressure are also low, which means i’m out of breath most of the day, and yesterday at parent/teacher night i kept having to run out of the room because i felt like i was going to pass out (too stuffy, no air flow). yay pregnancy.
thankfully, the baby is doing great and Jovie (who also had the flu) is fully recovered. i just need a few more days of sitting on the couch, chicken soup, no computer (boo) and hot baths…. lucky for me, Regan is home for a few weeks before he starts his new job so he’s been helping out heaps. don’t know how i’d manage the school runs without him!
