Allergies

Once I found out that I was pregnant, I stopped taking my regular meds, which included Zyrtec for my allergies! I sneezed and blew my nose so many times yesterday that I got a headache and a raw nose. It hasn't improved any today either.

I am pretty sure that I took Allegra while pregnant with Caden but I don't remember how early in the pregnancy I was taking it. I mentioned that to Brandon this morning and of my plans to call Dr. Johns on Monday to see if I can take anything for my allergies but he wasn't too keen on that idea. Probably because we read online that pregnant women should avoid all medications in the first trimester as much as possible and to use other non-drug remedies instead. The pharmacist at Walgreens told him the same thing last night when I sent him there for some Tylenol to cure my pounding headache. It turns out that Tylenol is pretty much the only thing that Brandon is okay with me taking.

Who knew that he would be so protective? He keeps saying, "Babe, you're just going to have to tough it out because my boy or girl is coming out perfect! I don't want some allergy medicine to mess anything up while it's developing!" That makes me smile. He is so excited about this pregnancy. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he lays eyes on his child for the very first time.
