I'm still here!

Hi, Last week in case you missed me, I got super sick. I was down from Friday the 13th to Thursday the 19th. It was a bad cold that went into a sinus infection. Just couldn't get over it. Baby is still doing well. I'm at 7.5 months now. Not too much longer to go.

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery! Being sick when you're pregnant is especially hard since you can't take meds.

I used to get recurring sinus infections and eventually had surgery for it. If your sinuses are still blocked here's something you can do that's medication free and will help to clear them out. It sounds gross, but it works.

Take 2 cups of cooled boiled water and add in 1 tsp. of salt and 1 tsp. of baking soda. Then take a syringe (no needle) and flush out your sinuses with the water. While you're bent forward over the sink, insert the syringe into one nostrill and flush the water down into the nose. Do this repeatedly alternating nostrills until you've used about 1/3 of the mixture. Do this 3 times a day. You may have to blow your nose during the flushing. If feel like there's still a lot of water left in your sinus, try tilting your head in different directions as you blow. It's ok to leave some of the water in your sinus as it will help prevent it from getting clogged with thick mucous.

I am glad you and the little are still doing good. 7.5 months wow you are almost there I bet you can't wait. I know my Girl is at 7 months and she already can't wait. I couldn't imagine going through what you ladies go through. I mean it is tuff carring alittle person around for all those months, But on the other hand it must be awesome haveing that little person grow inside of you. I know most people think i am weird because i think pregnant women are attractive. I think it is the who what you all can accomplish. Ok sorry i went on so long. I am just glad you are better know and things are still good.
