My family hasn't had a cold materialize in 3 years now. Sure, we feel something coming on, but we have a "magic" remedy. At the first sign of illness -- we let hydrogen peroxide bubble in our ears (one ear at a time, of course). It seems lots of germs enter the body through the ears, and this kills 'em. We do it 3 or 4 times for a few days as soon as we start feeling under the weather. And always feel 95% better after just a day or so. It is freaking amazing. (Google it if you think I am nutters....

I have been on the verge of two colds this pregnancy, and I was lucky enough to have acupuncture appointments at just the right time. She nipped them both in the bud.

I'm feeling well, slightly disappointed that my outdoor activities are starting to get reduced. The lack of bending at the waist makes skiing a bit more difficult and sore legs make snowshoeing harder.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
In 7 weeks we hope to get a good ultrasound picture of our baby girl. She's been quite camera shy so far - one week we got to see a hand, another week her feet. At least we know she's doing well. My only issue is that my husband and I moved in late 2012 and our close friends are expecting soon. I wish I could share her excitement with her more closely and have both of us celebrating our babies without being 1800 miles apart.

My boss got me hooked on ginger tea. He just cuts up slices of raw ginger and pours hot water over it. I buy actual tea and put honey in it. Not sure if it does anything really, but it is comforting. Other than that, a lot of rest and staying away from stress as much as possible.
