Getting healthy during pregnancy

So the Friday after our baby shower in California, I came down with a cold. It's now been a month and I have finally gotten over it. Granted for the last few weeks, I've just been coughing, but still, I never imagined it would take that long to get over a cold. Went ahead and got the flu shot, because I really don't want to find out how long it would take me to get over that! But it definitely has made me try to take it easy and rest a lot. Course, now that we are into the 3rd trimester, we really have a lot of stuff to do around the house to get ready for the baby - so I'm sure we won't be feeling so relaxed about things in the coming weeks.
