Sick with a newborn = no fun at all

I am working on my third ailment in a week and this sinus infection is the worst.  It is seriously kicking my assets.  I can't hear, I can't breathe and I am constantly coughing.  Thank goodness MrShoe got up with Norah last night because I thought for sure I was dying.  And poor Norah's easter basket still isn't made yet.  =(  I really wanted to get it done today but that requires a run to Target and I just do not see that happening.

Re: Sick with a newborn = no fun at all

  • Aww no, Shoe! I hope you feel better soon. Can you get a cortizone shot? I know that helped me...I had a sinus infection and had that two days before the wedding. I felt a good bit better about 24 hours later.
  • oh gosh, no fun!  You're getting a quick initiation into the less fun aspects of mommyhood huh?  Ditto Joeysgirl, you should see if there's anything you can take.  It would really suck to be feeling bad on her first holiday :(

    If I lived closer, I'd go help ya out!  But we won't be coming down till Saturday.

  • I'm sorry about that. I have to agree with joeysgirl, if it's a true sinus infection and not just allergies, a cortisone shot in the rump is worth a million bucks. You know I'm not a big medicine taker either, so for me to say that is HUGE!!

    I hope you feel better VERY soon.

  • Aww, that just sucks Shoe! I had the sinus infection crap two weeks ago and it was awful. If you don't feel like going to the Dr. to get the shot you should see if they will call you in a Z-pack or something. That's what they did for me and it knocked it out pretty quick.

    Seriously, let me know if you need anything! I can't see you leaving the house sick with a newborn and I can always make a Target run for you. It's not like I don't go to the one on Siegen every other day...

  • I hope you feel better soon! That must be terrible. I agree with everyone else, call up the doctor and see if you can get something to help you out a little bit.

  • Thank you baby Jesus in a manger, my grandma just called and is on the way to help me out. 

    I'm so leary about taking anything right now even though I know I should.  My mom could call me in a z-pack if I needed but I'm not sure if it's safe since I'm breastfeeding.  If I feel better later today, I may try to go to Target tonight once MrShoe gets home.  I just hate that I'm wasting this time with my baby girl being sick.  =(

    I'm thinking it's probably okay to take the z-pack because my obgyn prescribed one to me when I was like seven months pregnant.
