It goes by fast, that's for sure! We look at each other and say "THIRTY-NINE YEARS?!?!" Would be great to see you b/4 baby #2 comes along! Next time I'm coming up, I'll try to remember to have Leah give you a call!

My emotions are going crazy this morning. I read a beautiful poem this morning and then cried. Then I looked at baby books and cried again. I guess since I am at work I need to focus on work today (as I should everyday) or I will spend my day crying.

At least they are happy tears.

It's getting SO close!!! I hope everything goes well. I'm sure she will be beautiful!!!

I saw pictures of Lyla on Facebook...she is a gorgeous little girl! I hope you all are doing well!

Thanks so much! How is your baby girl doing? I saw a picture of her with Bruce. She's growing fast!

I am finally feeling so much better, it seemed to take forever. However, it seems the cold kicks back in when I get around certain smells, mostly stuff with perfume. I start sneezing, coughing and the drainage starts. I had to switch out the soap we use at church. It became a vicious cycle of washing my hands, sneezing, and then needing to wash my hands again. My big problem is work. I sit near the COO and his cologne is killing me. He is a very nice man, but I don’t think I can go to him and ask him to stop wearing cologne.

After Lyla is born I will be coming back to work part-time. Yesterday they extended an offer to someone, and hopefully they will be able to start next week. I only have 6 weeks left, so there will be lots for her to learn in that time. My big concern is that I am not a good teacher, and the other people in my department have no clue how I do stuff. So when I am out I don’t know who she will ask questions. Hopefully things will go better then I think.

Love the name Lyla. Is it a family name or just one you like? Have you picked a middle name? Who will be keeping her for you when you work? I enjoyed so much keeping Ian Lacquement for a year and a half. Is your Mom working too? Understand about the smells. I'd tell the COO if he is a nice person--he'd probably understand if he's married and has kids.

Any suggestions on how to stop coughing at night for a pregnant lady?

I dread lying down to sleep.

I slept on the couch propped up with pillows. And sucked on peppermints and jolly ranchers while I attempted to sleep.

Sorry you're sick. (And sorry I haven't called you back yet!)

by simon_says at 12/21/09 10:22AM
Oh no, I'm sorry you're sick. Dad, me and the kids all have it too! I guess just sleep propped up like leah said.

by jk at 12/21/09 11:10PM
Hot lemonade (the hot because it is soothing; lemonade because allegedly lemon juice helps break up mucous in your throat and stuff). Eat two teaspoons of honey right before you go to bed. When I have tried this in the past, it seems to work for about half an hour. If you can get yourself to go to sleep in that window, then it's good. Also, using one of those face steamers for about ten minutes or so before bed. If not, then I'm back to square one. My doctor okayed several cold medicines for the third trimester, but I can't remember exactly which ones.

by kt80 at 12/21/09 11:52PM
So sorry...yep, sleeping propped is about the best solution

Try a sinus rinse to clean out the sinuses. It may not drain as much and will definitely relieve any head pressure. You can do this even when you are not sick...it's great!!

Also try a humidifier with the Vicks vaporizer liquid. Some people say that rubbing Vicks on the bottom of your feet helps coughing. I don't know if it works but I guess it couldn't hurt to try.

by shelbysmom at 12/23/09 2:51PM
^ ^ neti pot ^ ^ or Ayrs saline sinus spray (can be hard to find-I think Publix usually carries it). Spray with it first, then use Mucinex nasal spray. Hope you are getting some relief by now!
