Oh no, getting a cold & travel Mon.

Hey, ladies.  I have done everything I could to stay healthy and keep the kids healthy as we fly out at 8 am Monday morning.  I got sick earlier this season & because of sinuses/astma, I was congested for a month.  Like puke when I tred to talk because I had so much congestion.  I can't fly like that, even though I am normally over normal cold symptoms in a couple days, the residual congestion always hangs around.  This is my only chance to see my family & we are planning on telling them I'm pregnant again.  We finally told the kids we are going so they are excited & there is no opp to re-schedule.  I won't see them again for 2 years (maybe more?  As it is always us giving up our vaca days and $$ even though they all moved away, after convincing me not to).

i have had an awful week and this makes me want to cry.  any suggestions to minimize this cold? im still breastfeeding.

Sorry for errors above - mobile bumping & can't scroll to edit.  Also, of course my cool mist humidifier blew up last night.  This.has.been.a.week.  I cried, like hard cry, for the first time in years.  I knew something was up because even getting extra sleep/rest, I was feeling too exhausted to pack/clean much.  Guuuh.  We get sick like 2x a year, now was not the time.
