A decent night's sleep. Finally!

I was finally able to get a decent night's sleep last night, for the first time in about 3 weeks. I only woke up once, and I managed to fall back asleep within about 20 minutes, which is practically a record for me! Even better, today is one of my late days at work (10-6 instead of my usual 8-4), so I was able to take advantage of my body's cooperative spirit and sleep until 7!

I've been having some trouble with my sinuses lately, and I'm kinda scared that I might be coming down with a sinus infection. (I usually contract one in the Spring and another in the Fall.) Well, at our last doctor's appointment, the doctor mentioned using a saline nasal rinse. He said it can help keep sinuses clear and it contains no medicine, so it's safe to use while pregnant, so long as I follow the instructions. Well, I picked up a kit yesterday and used it last night and again this morning. Aside from it being a little uncomfortable (think of accidentally breathing in a bunch of water while you're swimming), it's not that bad. The solution comes in packets that need to be mixed with warm water, and it doesn't hurt. I can breathe a bit better after only two rinses, and the pressure in my head has gone down slightly. Hopefully this will work so I won't have to worry about taking any OTC medicines or antibiotics!

Also, don't forget to check the blog tomorrow around lunchtime. Carey and I are heading to Palisades Medical Center tomorrow morning for our next ultrasound, and I'll post as soon as I can after our appointment. Little Girl or Little Boy? Find out tomorrow!!
