Almost done...

We are finally done "building" the room for the baby. What I mean by this is that we have moved everything heavy and big and bulky into the room at this point and are now on the way to just putting things "in place". Mr. W and I went out and bought a glider Sunday and everyone seems to think it belongs to them. Not to be an attentive husband to his 8 month pregnant wife, Mr. W stomped his feet and moaned when I sat in the chair as soon as it was in the room. We got the cushions on it and I put his little matching blanket over the back and plopped down into the cushiness to give it a go. I think we definitely made a good choice, since it seems like a chair I could easily pass out in during the middle of the night. Speaking of passing out, I feel like I could easily take a nap right now.
In fact, I feel like taking a nap most of the time, most days. It doesn't help that I really want to get a few more things done at work before I become worthless and check out. Unfortunately, right now I have a cold, which I am seriously hoping is not the swine flu, to overcome as well.
Mr. W and my sister keep saying not to joke about it. Well, if I don't joke about it, I will be as paranoid as they are about it. Being pregnant in the middle of an outbreak of a killer flu during flu season with a lowered immune system and not very many options as far as what is permissible to take is not exactly a picnic. I did get some fast acting Tylenol Cold or Tylenol Sinus and I have to admit, they help a little. A little is a whole lot more than nothing right now, so I am thankful that these were on my list of things to take. I also have cough drops and nasal spray and antibiotic ointment. Not that the ointment will help much, but just in case I get a nasty cut, I can handle that, too.
Right now I have no fever, and am generally just feeling miserable, so I guess that is a good thing and maybe it can be attributed to sinus issues. I say I don't have a fever, but I haven't actually taken my temperature. Mr. W and I both agree that I don't feel hot. I do have a thermometer I could use but that would require digging it out of the medicine cabinet, so instead, I sit here waiting for the next dose of Tylenol to kick in.
The bad news is that I have absolutely no desire to clean anything or get anything ready for the baby, so I hope that this passes quickly because I don't have the time to wait around for a slow going virus or infection to make its way through my body. I think a hot shower sounds wonderful right now and will probably drag myself into one here, soon.
So I have to say, we got that glider just in time. Mom needs a break and some time in the bed. Of course, I will still be doing work when I can so I don't have more catch up to do or waste any sick time I may need later. I also have my shower this weekend and it would be nice if I am able to go. If not, I guess I will have to send Mr. W on my behalf. It would really be a shame if that happened and I wasn't there to witness it.
