Virus-free Zone

It doesn't seem fair that it's possible to be both sick and pregnant at the same time. With all the nasty side-effects that already come packaged with pregnancy, shouldn't my body know when enough is enough? Shouldn't I be superimmune to viruses and other unnecessary illnesses that just get in the way of healthy gestating? There has to be another benefit to eating all these leafy green vegetables and orange juice besides folic acid.

I have managed to get a pretty nasty head cold. I am stuffy and achey and even more tired than usual. Luckily I don't have a fever - that could be bad for the baby. On the bright side, it's a convenient excuse not to drink at this weekend's holiday party and shouldn't rouse any suspicions.
