Alyssa has been suffering from her first official cold for three days now. She is feeling much much better today, but now guess who's sick? Yup. My head is going to explode!!!!!!!!!

I have not had a cold in about 3 years. Oh, man......now I know how my poor baby felt. I'm so glad she's better. I just have to try not to get her sick again.

Oh and my mom is sick too. So no help from her.

I'm not really venting, because I'm not mad. I just needed to whine a little bit. Sometimes it helps to feel better. Thanks!

AGH it never ends. Not only am I a hundred times sicker today, but last night I fell down a few steps. I got knots and bruises on both legs and hurt my right arm. My poor baby went down with me, and amazingly I protected her. Not a scratch! But my body suffered for it. I cried and cried. I felt so bad! No more going up and down steps holding her when I'm this sick!!!! I finally caved and asked my cousin to come over and help. This sucks.

Well I'm off for a very hot shower. Hopefully I can clear my head up and soothe this achy body...

I'm sorry you are sick Jean! I have a nasty cols and sore throat now too and it is miserable! I hope your hot shower helped - glad your cousin is able to give you a hand too - hugs!

Poor Mama!

So glad you protected the baby and kept her safe.....

but

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!



MamaQueenAngie's cold tips:

Keep drinking plenty of fluids (o.j., juice, hot tea, water, etc.). Drink something every hour.

Take your cold pills to dry up your nasal passages.

Use the blowdryer up your nose to clear it - don't burn your nose in the process.

Place a cough drop in a big coffee mug of very hot water. Sip slowly.

Chicken noodle soup.

Sending you warm hugs, Jeanlynn!

Ugh-I hate being sick. Good job protecting your little one with the fall though Especially being sick-it's not always easy to do even when you're feeling 100%.

Oh No! How scary, Im glad she was ok and Im sorry about the bumps and bruises. I hope you get to feeling better VERY soon!! I got a BAd cold here not too long ago and I know how you feel.

I'm so sorry you two were so sick. How are you feeling now? How does your wrist feel from the fall?

And I am sorry to hear that you also fell down while holding your baby girl! I'm sorry you were hurt, but I'm glad she's okay. Those head colds can mess with your equalibrium! lol.
Gracie also has a bad cold right now. I had to take her to the doctor yesterday afternoon because she also has an ear infection on top of it. I hope I don't catch it from her.
Take it easy today, and I hope you are feeling better real soon!
