Snot what I wanted for Easter.....

We had our Easter planned out for a while, prior to Feb 13 when everything changed, so being stuck in the hospital with Ben wanting BBQ for Easter Dinner wasn't exaclty how we had planned it. A baby shower on Saturday in Sikeston and then Easter Sunday with Ben's family in MO was the plan. Oh well, I am looking forward to Easter next year when we actually have a reason to hide eggs and have a 1 year old running around entertaining everyone.

My allergies have been bugging me since this past Tuesday and they really aren't much better yet. They gave me some claritin which worked for a couple days, but this is now more congestion and snot so yesterday afternoon they switched me to a sudafed. Mallory must be sensitive to that stuff, more so than normal babies because on the monitoring last night her little heart rate was going crazy. So after 3 hours on the monitor wating for her to calm down I decided no more sudafed, at least not at that dose, so now I feel like crap, but hopefully it will pass soon!

Dr How said there's a childrens dose that is half of what I took, but it's a liquid, I'm sure it's yummy, so we may try that to see if I can get some relief without sending her into a crazy child. I'm going to send Ben out later for some good old fashioned vapor rub! Haven't used that stuff since I was a kid probably.

We have reached 33 weeks today! Yipee! Just one more week to go and then we get to meet little Miss Mallory! I went online yesterday and ordered a few more things that I thought I needed prior to waiting on a shower for them since the others are delayed until after she is born.

Here's the baby health kit, it had good reviews and seemed to have about everything you could think of:



And then these that I've been wanting since I first saw them....they are sleep sheep and have the heartbeat sound for the crib and travel:



I think Ben and I will get out and wheel around the block today, that will be our Easter excitement.

So, happy Easter everyone and the countdown is on, just a few more days of hanging out here in the Hospital!
