Top Blog Posts of 2012

After looking at my statistics for the past year, I want to declare 2012 "The Year of Sickness."  Some of my most popular posts were related to illnesses.  Let's hope for a better 2013!

If you're new to my blog or missed some posts, here are my top posts of the year:

Childhood Illnesses:

Our Experience with Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease:  This was, by far, my most popular post of the year.

Mono in a Pre-Schooler:  Not that bad of an illness when you're 3!

What Moms Should Know About Febrile Seizures:  Harmless but terrifying for parents!  This event happened in 2011, but I wrote about it in 2012. 

Morning Sickness:

Many of you said you appreciated my honesty about how pregnancy works for me.  I deal with very extreme morning sickness, hyperemesis, which has gotten many headlines recently now that Princess Kate has hyperemesis.  I wrote several posts on morning sickness, and I'm sure that morning sickness kept me from writing more on my blog last year.

Morning Sickness and Me:  An honest look at what pregnancy looks like for me.  I decided that I was done pretending that everything was OK.  It wasn't OK, but we've learned that 9 months are very short, in the grand scheme of things, and my husband and I have learned to deal with it.

Coping with Morning Sickness: Beyond Saltines and Sprite, Part 1:  Tips and tricks for dealing with morning sickness.

Coping with Morning Sickness: Beyond Saltines and Sprite, Part 2

Natural Remedies:

Honey: The Natural Cough Syrup:  You might be surprised to hear that many pediatricians are recommending this instead of cough syrup.

A Natural Cure for Pregnancy Reflux:  An apple a day keeps the reflux away.

Various Posts, in order of popularity:
