one of my biggest fears....

....has become a reality!! being sick while pregnant!! and no, not morning sickness, actual bug sick! this has been one of my biggest fears because of the fact that i can't take any medication. :( i've got the good ol frog in my throat, sinus pressure and sinus drip! (good mental picture huh!) i can't even drink my tea since i've been really good about cutting caffiene completely out of my diet! guess it's just OJ and fruit smoothies for me, and lots and lots of tissues!!

i was about to give up hope last night and cut my nose off (okay, well not really) when i found a sample of breathrite extra strips i had gotten from a friend. i couldn't breath out of my nose at all when i went to bed, so i thought why not try the strip to see if it would work.

HOLY NOSTRILS BATMAN! the minute i put that strip on i was able to BREATH!!! and not just out of one nostril. i was able to breath completely out of both nostrils. i was shocked! i thought i was going to go through a whole box of tissues last night and when i woke up there were just two lonely tissues laying on the ground.

so any of you expecting mothers i would HIGHLY recommend the breathrite extra strips. not sure what makes them "extra" but all i cared was that they worked. and that they did! although i apparently didn't read the "how to remove" instructions and tried pulling it off like a bandaid. yeah, don't do that. follow the instructions and take it off when you're washing your face with warm water!!
