It's definitely worth tasting imo ^^ And apparently it's also good with sore throat (bf is sick, and yesterday I still had some of the aloe drink, he said it makes the throat hurt less) XD

I think I might finally be getting over my cold. It's been literally 6 weeks!

Colds are the worst. I swear if I get sick again while i'm pregnant i'm going to murder whoever gets me sick, lol.

Not really but really!

Omg! That's soo long!

I always get not fully sick, so I go to work/schol/whatever with a slight not-full cold all the time It's tiring -.-

I understand, I'd be all out war, too

Usually if I get sick it lasts a few days - if Alan get's sick, he'll be sick for a few weeks but not me. But not this time.

Things are kinda moving into being okay. My one real complaint now is my back. My stomach is going to start growing soon because the baby is going to start actually growing soon and that will pull on my back. It's been pretty bad at night time.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to have a baby but I can't wait for her to be outside of me.

Haha, yeah, sure thing
So your back starts killing you lately?

Yeah - I already have a bad back from a car accident in my teens and I use to take turmeric every day for it and it really, really helped but you can't take that while you're pregnant because it thins your blood. So yeah, i've been using my heating pad a lot but you can't use it all the time because getting too hot can cause birth defects.

It's fun, mem. :P

Yeah, sounds like soooo much fun XD #sarcasmplz

Perhaps a visit to a massage therapist could help, Lily? That should be fairly safe for yourself and your baby and give a good measure of relief. If you're lucky they even have a special table with "cut out" pads for the well-endowed ladies among us. ^^

I have thought about a massage - they're just a bit pricey for us at the moment. I would love to try acupuncture too. I did it once and it was so relaxing. I should look into that too.

Actually, I wonder...I see my OB on wednesday, maybe she could recommend a massage therapist? It could be medically related? I'll have to ask.

If you need a low-cost massage, check around your area for training schools. Pretty much every massage school out there has a student clinic with discounted prices so they can get the necessary practice for their final certifications.

Pregnancy is a very well-studied condition during classes as well, so many of the students will be very happy to put some of those lessons to real-world use. ^^
