I totally didnt attribute the rib pain I’m having to the killer cough I have until last night when I realized every time I coughed it got worse. I’m guessing I bruised a rib w/ all the coughing, if the kid wasnt home from school and our street didnt look so icy I’d go to the dr today. i still need to get out at some point today for diapers and groceries but I’m hoping w/ time the ice will melt making it less slippery out there. (the main roads are fine but our road is always the worst, the worst in our neighborhood even because we dont get a lot of sun particularly right in front of our yard. )  That and that I might get the kids to nap so I can rest. I actually slept halfway well last night thanks to some benadryl, so not sure why I feel so tired other than being sick and my sugar levels being high.   The kids of course have a ton of energy which will make for a fun day.
Dean’s at work today and I’m wishing he wasnt.  I know the end of my pregnancies are always hard and being sick on top of that makes it so much worse.  I almost wish I worked full time so that would mean we had daycare/sitter and I could call in sick and have help w/ the kids.  my job has no fringe benefits, no sick time and certainly no vacation days.  At the end of caleb’s pregnancy I was put on bedrest and got disability pay for that time, and as he was our first kid i could just stay home and rest.   it was perfect! pay and time off. these days theres no such luck or plan. the price I pay to be a SAHM and pregnant. Have I mentioned how glad I am this will be my last pregnancy?
