Ray and madamewaffles , thank you. Normally I'm like, whatever, it is a cold, but I'm absolutely miserable. I really hope I can sing past this on Sunday.

Me too! Colds suck. Have that darling husband of yours make you some chicken soup.

Okay, so sinus/cold question - plain saline nasal spray is okay to use, right?

I think my head and my nose are going to fall off my body.

Ugh, I hope you feel better.  I feel your pain, I had a cold that developed into a sinus infection and had to go get an antibiotic.  I was miserable!  And then I ended up getting the flu.... I'm finally on the upswing but that sucked!

powerofbacon, I hope you get better soon! I am thinking about breaking out the netipot.

So I totally swore I felt a flutter last night in one spot but tried to convince myself it was too early and probably just gas. So when I tried the doppler today I put it right over the flutter spot and immediately heard the other baby's heartbeat. I went back to the other side where I heard the first one and it was still there. So now I've heard both and baby B (Mr. Flutter) feels like he's rolling like crazy constantly.

Also if you look up Twin Pregnancy Ornaments on etsy one of the results is this creepy conjoined fetus.

That is really creepy!

I find it counterproductive to put the image that is behind the spoiler as the cover photo of the thread on Tapatalk.

Neti pots are also approved. It was the only way I got any relief with a severe cold I got when pregnant with DD. I had never used one before, but it felt so good to move that stuff out of my sinuses.

I just found the heartbeat on my Doppler. I find that relieving. I know my OB doesn't love when people get dopplers, but I don't freak out if I can find it at one time, I just wait a day or two and try again. I have been so sick with these cold sores and now I am taking all of the Valtrex and l-lysine (and I know I was approved for them, but taking anything while pregnant is nerve wracking) and it makes me feel better that I can check on the hb whenever I want...otherwise I was going to have to wait until I go back to the OB in January.
