29 Weeks

This week the goal was to eat a ton and gain weight…instead I came down with a horrible cold and over the weekend developed a fever, meaning I spent most of the time sleeping and not eating.  However I have decided (for the second time this pregnancy) not to stress about weight gain.  The day after my appointment I went to visit my friends who live in the next city over.  They had some baby things they were getting rid of and we wanted to catch up over lunch.  They made me feel so much better about my lack of weight gain, they convinced me of what I already thought…it won’t do the baby or myself any good to spend my time being a couch potato and eating junk food.  I am not going to worry about anything except eating well and eating until I am full.  I left that day feeling so much better than I did after leaving my doctor’s appointment.  Friday I spent the entire day in bed sleeping and watching movies (actually the same movie repeated 3 times since I kept sleeping through it).  Saturday I took my temperature and I had a slight fever, the doctor recommended just drinking lots of water and taking a Tylenol.  My wonderful husband took care of me all day!  I woke up a lot over the night to empty my nose and to chug water.  Today I spent most of the morning and afternoon sleeping; giving Adam the opportunity to watch all the movies I really don’t want to see.  Unfortunately didn’t eat much at all the past few days which is going to look bad the next time I step on the scale…but like I said I am not going to stress over it.

Saturday I was supposed to go back to HK for my RH- shot, they didn’t want to give it to me on Tuesday without first checking my blood to make sure that my body wasn’t already creating the antibodies I need.  Adam and I were going to make a day out of it, have a nice lunch in HK and head to IKEA to pick out some more things for baby.  Sunday the plan was to begin making piles and organizing for the movers.  Nothing got done this weekend which means this illness needs to disappear overnight so I can run to the Doctor on Monday or Tuesday and be at the lease signing on Wednesday and be ready for the movers by Friday.
