The Worst

You know what is the worst?

Having a bad cold.



What's worse than that?

Having a bad cold while pregnant.



What's worse than that?

You can take very few medicines while pregnant, so your cold symptoms seem even more horrible.



What's even worse than that?

While you are pregnant with a cold having taken only limited medications that don't really work, your husband is trying to do some remodeling on the house and you are not of much help.


And the VERY WORST thing - is that the duck baby mama is gone and her nest full of eggs is now motherless. I did some research on the internet about what to do with an abandoned duck nest, and I read that duck mamas very rarely abandon their nests and that it is more likely that the mother was killed or injured. Also, apparently abandoned duck eggs rarely live even if we had an incubator.

So we have bad news.


On a lighter note - baby boy baby moves a ton and I love it!

I love it when you guys speak Spanish! It's so ... Latin!

Sorry about the cold, there is a lot of it going around. Rest up before next weekend!

Maybe the mama duck just needed some time away? Don't judge her!

Oh! I do feel do sad for you. It truly is bad to have cold while pregnant because you simply can't get the medicinal relief. I hope that is goes away soon.

And how sad about duck baby mama. Can they be adopted by another mom?
