Sharing

Tad is so loving and giving, especially when it comes to his Mommy.

For example, he’s recently shared a cold with me.

It’s the gift that just keeps on giving.

This resulted in a phone call to my new OB’s nurse. I had to pick a new doctor, since the doctor who saw me through my pregnancies with Ane and Tad has stopped doing OB care and is just doing gynecology now. So I asked if the doctor who actually delivered Tad (my doctor was on his last days of his summer vacation when Tad was born) could take me on. I really liked her. Fortunately, she had room, and I’ll be seeing her next week.

Anyway, I needed to talk to the nurse to ask… What can I take to combat this cold??

Answer: almost everything. Since I’m past 8 weeks, there were a lot of options available. Now, I am using them as sparingly as possible, with a lot of plain saline spray up the nose because I can do as much of that as I want. But still, when I hit that evening wall of fatigue plus sinus headache, it’s good to know that I can take some Sudafed. And Tylenol. And then get a box of tissues and wait for my head to unplug.

And Tad… this is the kind of sharing that Mommy can live without. Okay?
