A Sore Throat Makes Me a Crabby Lady

It's official - being ill while pregnant is a horrible combination. No NyQuil, no cough syrup, no nasal decongestant. Just me and the Riccola cough drops and a whole bunch of water. And a whole bunch of water plus a diminished bladder means a trip to the bathroom every 20 minutes.

The only way to make myself feel better is to substitute cold remedies with food - genius!!! I ate a bowl of ice cream today in lieu of cough syrup, and it did the trick. I had chili for lunch yesterday, and that worked like nasal decongestant. Maybe for dinner I should eat a large Thanksgiving turkey meal and that can work as my sleep aid?
