I wanted to pop in here today and say that I am still alive, but my flu has turned into a pretty nasty sinus infection. I have not felt at all well, which is why I have not posted in a week. I am hoping to be back here within a few days, if I feel well enough.
On that note, if any of my readers have any tips for combating sinus infections naturally, please do leave a comment. I'm trying to get myself well again without the use of drugs, since I am after all 31 weeks pregnant. I may end up giving in and going to get antibiotics, but I'd rather not of course if I can help it.
And in case anyone is wondering, the kids are doing much better. It's only me that's a wreck. :)
Have you tried a Neti Pot? I can't use one, but my sister swears by them. I prefer lots of hot herbal tea.

Thanks! Yes, I do have one, and I think it's definitely helping. :)

Steam inhalation..but you are probably already doing that. Snorting saline. Hot flannels. Rest. Fluids and echinachea.
Sinus infections are awful...I hope you feel better soon.

You poor dear. When mamma isn't well the whole house feels it.
Enjoying this cold weather?

I don't mind the cold, actually--it seems easier to breathe in the cold. Not that I'm going outside too much right now. :)

31 weeks! That was fast, on my end anyways. : )
Hope you're feeling better soon.
