Just discovered something I do miss

All along, people have been asking me if I miss anything that I can't have while being preggers. Truthfully, I really haven't...until very recently....and its an odd item to miss, but, boy do I! Its my Clarinex.

I thought I was fancy-free from allergies becasuse I usually get really bad seasonal ones in Spring & Fall. Well, this Spring was a breeze. Literally the first time in years that I didn't get a single sinus infection. I had heard that sometimes pregnancy hormones could do this, so I was singing Little B's praises for ridding me of them. On Saturday, they crept back with a vengance. Granted, we were outside all day, but its was as if someone flipped a switch and out came my allergies.

In the past, the only thing that has worked is Clarinex. And I can't take it. I really miss it. More than Diet Pepsi, a nice glass of red wine, and sushi....combined. I can take Sudafed, which I ended up having to do on Sunday, but it really knocked me out. Although its said to be completely safe for pregnant women to take, I also noticed that is knocked the baby out too. Within an hour of taking it, my very active inner-acrobat was also in a slumber, that lasted most of the day. I just didn't like the thought of that, so I've avoided since I took it on Sunday.

Now I make Sneezey from the Seven Dwarfs look like an amateur. And poor Mike said that I snored last night, so I must have been really congested cause I haven't done that in a long time. I miss my Clarinex :) So, now I'm rooting for the first frost-- yikes-- its August and I live in Cleveland, what am I doing looking forward to that?!?!? Scratch that-- here's to lots of rain instead to keep the pollen in line.
