So Sick

Well, they say husbands and wives tend to share everything, so I guess that includes passing sicknesses to each other. That's right, Henry decided that he would be oh so nice and give me his lovely cold. I thought for sure that I was out of the "danger" zone because he has been sick for well over a week and I have been fine, but I was WRONG. So horribly wrong.

I started feeling sick on Monday with a sore throat and I tried to tell myself that it wasn't anything. On Tuesday I couldn't delude myself any longer, I was sick. My throat hurt, I felt achy, tired, etc. By 2:00 PM, I couldn't take it any longer and I headed home from work. I even took a sick day from work on Wednesday in hopes of trying to relax and kick the cold out of my system. That didn't work either. I am miserable.

Whoever said being pregnant is glamorous had obviously never been pregnant before, and add a cold on top of that..let me tell you...I am dead sexy. Not only am I waddling around the house bumping my poor unborn child against counters, doors, etc..but now I am sniffling, coughing, sneezing, you name it on top of it. Painting a pretty picture, huh? It wouldn't be so bad, except I can't take my favorite nasal congestion relief medication, Afrin...it is bad for the baby and not safe to take during pregnancy... :((( All the other over the counter nasal decongestants that I can take (as dictated by my doctor) aren't working :( Woe is me.

I am going to the doctor again tomorrow so they can check my blood pressure and my swelling, so hopefully they will give me something to help with the congestion so I can at least sleep at night! Here's to praying that this cold leaves my body soon and I start to feel human again...
