I've Never Hated Being Sick As Much 'Til I Had Olivia

Been sick for almost a week now with the worst kind of cough and colds I've had in a looooong time. It's a combination of a bad headache, contiuous coughing, and a stuffed nose. It's baaad.

As with all cases, I just wait it out til it passes but the thing that I hate about it now is that I can't carry my baby. I can't play with Olivia, I can't pick her up if she cries, and so much more. Add that to me being able to help Bernice care for her when she needs a break. It really sucks. Seriously. 

I never really got to think of this until it happened and I hope I never get to experience this again while Olivia's still a baby... well, I'd be glad of course if it never happened again period. hehe

Anyway, upon further research, I realized it wasn't Vit C that I was lacking but Vit D! We all think we need our daily dose of Vit C to boost our immunity that we forgot about Vit D hehe That and a good night's sleep. I'm a light sleeper so maybe that may be the cause too coz everytime Olivia cries even just a little to ask to get fed in the wee hours of the morning, I also wake up together with Bernice so we really can't say that the first months of having a baby is sleep heaven. 

But I've been told it'll be over soon and Olivia will somehow sleep through the night towards or in her 4th month so we're looking forward to that. 

Right now, we're just dealing with getting better coz as I type this I'm still battling both couch and colds and Bernice mentioned that her throat's started to hurt last night :(
