The Not So Awesome Part

So, maybe I spoke too soon about October. Or it was just last week that was awesome, because I'm pretty sure that I'm sick now. Just in time for my friend to come in on Thursday. I'm swalling garlic and drinking ginger tea to the best of my ability.

Not only am I sick, but my sister has been placed on bedrest for the duration of her pregnancy. She's due Dec. 2. But it's not the bedrest that's worrying, it's the reason she's on bedrest. She has preeclepsia.

Preeclepsia is actually pretty serious. It sometimes causes death for the infant and mother. Now, I'm sure that my sister will be okay as long as she stays on bedrest and relaxed. My mom has gone to stay with her to ensure these two things happen. Mom will be staying with her for the duration of the pregnancy and after as well. When I talked with my sister, she sounded happy. I'm glad she doesn't seem too worried. And therefore, I'm not going to worry. But it does make me sad that she has yet another hurdle to overcome in her pregnancy.

Sorry to complain, everything else is still fabulous. Hopefully, if I lay low today I'll feel better tomorrow.
