Hello friends.
Well, I really buried the lead with that title, didn’t I?!
Yep…I have covid. I have no idea how, but SOMEHOW I ended up with the good ol’ RONA!
I thought we left that in 2020??
Well, this certainly wasn’t my plan, but here we are.
Allow me to just touch on some potential concerns here:
First of all, this has been incredibly mild, so to speak. I tested positive for it yesterday (Wednesday) after feeling a little “off” on Tuesday night. I thought it was just a cold (congestion, body aches, low-grade fever) so I contacted my OBGYN, who advised that I test for covid. I did, and sure enough: two red lines. I was positive.
My fever yesterday was never higher than 100.3, and for most of the day, it was hovering right around 99.5 — barely a fever.
Secondly, I did not take any Tylenol.
This morning, I woke up with a temperature of 96.6…which I was more concerned about. But after eating it has been hovering around 97.7.
I have been advised not to “Google” anything, but just focus on resting, staying hydrated and keep nourishing my body as best I can. Which is what I’ve been doing.
Yesterday I made a humongous pot of vegetable soup, which I ate in one day. Had some eggs, lentil pasta and a banana with peanut butter. Lighter fare than I am used to, but it was really all I could stomach/sounded good.
So yeah — any prayers you could offer up for me and Baby Berbs, that would be greatly appreciated.
The only other wrench in the plan here, is that my husband, Steven, is leaving Sunday for NYC for work for a week. So that’s really unfortunate timing. I’m just hoping he doesn’t get sick and can still go! (We’ve been quarantining from each other ever since I tested positive).
Other than that, I’ve just been working on our baby registry and trying to muster the mental energy to do our taxes. UGH
Anywho — I guess this is my status quo for the next 10 days. womp womp
Also! One housekeeping thing: in Monday’s email preview of my post, the link to my YouTube Video wasn’t working! So here it is again, in case you missed it!
Stay healthy out there, guys! Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the Super Bowl, and I’ll see you on Monday!!
