Fighting the Funk

I spent another week on the couch loaded up with antibiotics and Panera bagels. Unfortunately, since I've been ill, I've lost 15 lbs. I just can't make myself eat, but the nurse advised I drink my calories if I don't feel like eating. Hence, chocolate milk and bagels have been my primary staple of nutrition.

I broke into a full body rash Wednesday night which turned out to be a drug allergy from all of the antibiotics. The doc took me off of the antibiotics and if I get alot worse they plan to give me a shot of Prednisone. They are hoping at this point the antibiotics have been in my system long enough to finish the job.

I plan to return to work on Monday. I have my 37 week appointment in the morning, then off to work I go. I just hope I'm not snoozing by noon. This girl has really gotten used to her naps that past couple of weeks! I will be training my replacement all day so I'm hoping for lots of energy and motivation. I'm also hoping to maybe sneak in a nap in the evenings, but we'll see what Hubs and Turner have to say about that.

On a positive note, our Master Bedroom is being remodeled and it's coming along wonderfully. I feel bad that I haven't been able to help, but keeping Turner occupied all evening while Tanner works on it has to count for something, right?  It will be so nice to have a bedroom that actually feels romantic. As most of you know, Tanner and I purchased my childhood home and the Master Bedroom was covered in blue and navy striped wallpaper and unmatched furniture. It never really felt like an 'adult' bedroom. I'm really looking forward to a 'grown up' space.

On a completely different subject, I have to confess that I've been having a recurring dream. Almost every night I dream  that I give birth to a little boy. It's very strange, but I'm guessing it's because my only birth experience resulted in our little Turner man. I am really looking forward to meeting our little girl, Lauren. Knowing that she will be here soon is so exciting. I can't believe my daughter is almost here!

Will she have hair?
Will she look like Turner did when he was born?
Will she look like me?
Will she be laid back or demanding?

I guess I'll have my answers very soon. Have a great weekend everyone.
