Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

Monthly Visitor

And NO! I'm not talking about my period. I'm talking about this darn cold. It started in October on the same week as my birthday. Began with a runny nose, and the next thing I knew, I was coughing up stuff and was congested.
November rolled around and I got it AGAIN. It was worse that time.
Now here we are in early January, and I have it again. I need a break! It's a freaking new year for goodness sake!

Since I cant take normal meds, I have to basically do this:
-keep a box of tissues with me all the time
-use the vaporizer( Thanks Stephanie and Steve!!!) at night, and anytime I am just relaxing.
-use vicks vapor rub at night
-drink hot tea in the morning, followed by a shower just to warm up  my body, go back to sleep for a few, and then get another shower to actually shower.
-drink hot soup before bed. I just drank my hot soup.

These things help it go away faster.
I said if I got it again, like now, I was going to see about getting a pregnancy safe antibiotic, but it seems to be going away this time faster than the last.

If it's not nausea sick while pregnant, then it's cold sick. Honestly, I'd rather have the nausea...
