Week 8. 8 down, 32 or so to go! Honestly, I was pretty sure I wouldn't even make it this far, so I'm profoundly thankful to still have the little peanut in my belly!

Things have started easing up on the sickness front this week and THANK GOODNESS. I was seriously starting to feel bad for P having to put up with a wife that was constantly feeling ill and never wanting to leave the house. What a downer that must be. But I'm feeling a little better at this point.

The only big adjustment I'm REALLY having to get used to is the No Medication thing. You don't realize how much you take until you have to stop taking it. Well, I didn't stop taking ALL of it. Say what you want, but the acid reflux meds are non-negotiable for me. So I switched to a pregnancy friendly brand, and hopefully we'll be all good. What's really throwing me for a loop is not being able to take sinus/allergy meds. I know there's NO WAY the pseduo ephedrine in my favorite Advil Cold & Sinus Congestion medicine is good for little Cochran. So that's been REALLY hard to do without- for someone who can't breathe through her nose half the time without some sort of pharmaceautical intervention. However, there has ben ONE saving grace- Breath Right Strips. I look like a ridiculous dork walking around the house with one on, but I don't care. I CAN BREATHE!

So we have exactly one week til we go to the doc to see what's up. I'm going to enjoy this week. It'll be the last week of my pregnancy where I get to live in blissful ignorance where in my mind my blood pressure isn't an issue, my blood sugar isn't an issue, and everything is just hunky dory with no looming test results to worry about. It's gonna be a good week!
