I knew I had company with the migraine thing, so, to continue with my health woes, I would like to share how I have NEVER been so sick with the cold crud as I am right now. On Sunday afternoon I thought my left-over migraine was taking a funky tone, so I figured I'd take a quick rest with the boys. By the time I woke up I had this annoying little tickle in the back of my throat and I could tell I had some sinus pressure starting to build. Sunday evening just got worse and worse and I went to bed thinking, "Crap, I got the crud." The crud is my medical professional term for the snots (or just sinus pressure) and phlegm that leave you all hacking and coughing and aching. Sure enough, Sunday night was not that restful and I finally got up at 6:15 yesterday cuz I couldn't sleep and I needed to clean my house. I figured I would soldier thru my errands and carpools yesterday, but by the afternoon I was a wreck. I was totally fever-y and could NOT stop coughing which is leaving my throat feeling sore and my muscles worn out as I have to brace myself everytime I hack away. Why would I have to brace? SO I DON'T PEE MY PANTS. Don't laugh, it's annoying. Nothing like childbirth to weaken the old bladder. Last night was even worse and so I have loaded up on vitamin C (thanks to my new juicer and fresh citrus from AZ) and don't plan on doing much today.
I don't mean to keep complaining about my health, so I imagine I will give it another day before I am back on the mend. Thank goodness for Tylenol and lazy days. I have studied my "What to Expect" book and will trying to gargle with salt water here shortly. Lovely. Any quick fix remedies?

Hi Sarah-
Thanks for the kind words and wishes. It's been fun reading your blog and catching up with you and your fam.
I take it you weren't a fan of the human hair concoctions Chris sewed together! I thought the safety pin dress was cool though. Wait..I mean fierce!
My mom and I will be thinking about ya as we watch the Finale tomorrow. Hope you're feeling better.
sorry to hear you have the crud - rest is the best remedy i know and taking it easy
i also drink a lot of hot chocolate and chicken broth and ice cream to help soothe the throat.
hope you feel better and if you need anything, let me know!
We had the "CRUD" over at our house a few weeks ago, and seriously I really, really have never been that sick before! It was AWFUL and lasted over a week. We would get little spurts of energy and feeling good but they didn't last long. "Dr. Bryan" diagnosed us with a Severe Sinus Infection and after a day on antibiotics we Finally were on the upswing. I feel your PAIN!!
It's hard to tell the difference between the Crud and the Flu. Flu is serious stuff. Fever of 102 or so, body aches, headaches, and cough. Serious cough. There's no cure, but if you catch it early enough you can get a RX for Tamiflu, which cuts the symptom time in half, which is huge, if it's the flu. But, you've got to get it within the first 24-36 hours. Crud comes and goes and they both suck.
K Teigen has it too! And I feel so dang bad for him. And now for you!!! Hope you get better soon! Luv Ya
I was SO where you are now exactly a year ago (including the peeing part and a May due date). Being pregnant and not being able to take much sucks. For my cough I took Tylenol cough syrup (doctor approved) but I thought that nothing that tasted that bad could be good for the baby. I switched to Halls Fruit Breezers cough drops which are also pregnancy approved because they don't have menthol like other cough drops. Hope you feel better soon!
Sorry you've got the crud hope you feel better soon...
I do have a question for you though...
after 4 kids do you still wonder what to expect when you're expecting???
