A few weeks ago I started feeling “off” – a tightness in my chest, a nagging but not terrible cough, TIRED. Then my voice went, although my throat wasn’t too sore really. I just kept on going and figured maybe I was fighting a little something but that it wasn’t anything to really worry about. Then it just didn’t go away and then it got worse and the next thing I knew I felt REALLY bad and so completely exhausted and realized it had been about 3 weeks since I felt “normal.” So I went to the doctor and he told me I had a sinus infection and bronchitis and I needed to go on an antibiotic. Oh. There you go! I’ve been so busy juggling the many things in my life that I was somehow not paying the best attention to ME. During all that time my son was sick with a bad cold (which I’m sure I got from him or at the same time he got it) and asthma and an ear infection and I was so focused on his health that I didn’t really think much about my own. Funny how we do that as moms…
Thankfully now I am feeling much better – better than I have in weeks – and am ready for the busy week that lies ahead. My Sugar Cone business is going well and keeping me swamped and happy. My treadmill comes tomorrow (HOOORAY!!) and I really cannot wait for it to arrive. It was supposed to be delivered over a week ago and when they came to set it up they realized a part was missing (!!??!!) which totally freaked me out. Thank goodness we paid to have Sears assemble it. So now they will be delivering it tomorrow – hopefully with all parts in hand.
My baby is due in exactly 2 months from today, a little less than 9 weeks away. With crazy December here I have a feeling that before I know it my due date will be less than a month away. I can’t wait to meet this baby. With each passing day I pray with all my heart that my baby is healthy and strong. I pray that the next couple of months are simple and peaceful for me and my family and my growing baby. I do not want to wish this time away. I know it is so fleeting and so special. My children are feeling the baby move, talking to it and kissing my belly. It is a miraculous time and I feel that this Christmas season will be extra special as we all wait for our baby to arrive. I am blessed beyond words and so very grateful.
