Pink Eye

Yeah, it really sucks. Especially since it's in BOTH eyes. But I think that's my fault b/c last night I wasn't sure what was going on with my eye. So when I rubbed my eye to get the junk out, I then proceeded to rub my other eye. I even thought to myself RIGHT after I did that, 'I probably shouldn't have done that.' yeah... So last night I was trying to wash my eyes out like crazy with saline solution and using warm wet wash cloths in bed to keep my eyes from sealing shut with the junk. That on top of this cold I still have... didn't get much sleep. Ughh...


But on a brighter note (and maybe a bit of a disgusting note) when I got up early this morning to wash my eyes and try to cough up some junk to try and get better, I coughed up quite a bit of... junk. It was nasty but I immediately felt better! I'm still coughing and have a bit of a sore throat but I'm thinking it'll get better. Now if I could just get rid of my pink eyes. Which I did some research on and I think it's all related to this cold I caught. great. But on a brighter note, even though I'm pregnant I can use those drops for pink eye. I used a bit, but I'm still try to get rid of it with the saline solution. If this doesn't get better by tomorrow, I will have to call my doc. Boy, do I miss just being able to take whatever meds I needed to get better soon. sigh... soon I hope. Soon! But I hope I get over all this sickness before I have the baby. That would suck that I have the baby and I'm sick with pink eyes! They might not let me be with my baby for fear of her getting sick! How much would that suck!? I think I would cry.


I was going to do some walking today, but I read I really shouldn't do that by myself at this point. I guess that makes sense. Why I didn't think about that before, I have no clue. But I did have to stop by the grocery store for a quick run so that was some walking... I guess. And I get those cramp like pains more than I used to but still irregularly. Oh, and the sciatic is still a pain the ass... literally. But it travels down to my knee now. I do hope that means the little bagel is making her way further down and getting ready to come out b/c even though I still consider myself fairly lucky with a fairly easy pregnancy, seems like all the unfortunate things are coming right at the end.

But I have to think positive, right?! Focus on the prize at the end.

ugh! pink eye...i had it once in middle school. my doctor told me that the chances of it going to both eyes were high. i was intent on proving him wrong, but as soon as the left eye felt better, the right eye started showing signs of being affected! anyway, wow...you're so close! it seems like it went by fast, but i'm sure you feel differently, and can't wait to finally see your little girl. good luck, and, in case she comes early, have fun!
