Ughhh I feel like crap!

For the first time since getting pregnant, I feel like a truck has run over me, backed up and run over me again. Having a cold while being pregnant is a nightmare. It started on Thurs as a sore throat on one side. I remembered that a few times while taking the horsepill pretnatals, they had scratched my throat going down, so I figured that was the problem. No biggie, I started to gargle with salt water, hoping to fix the problem.

Saturday I had to get up early and head over to Quest for the 1 hr Glucose test. So we hit the sack early. The middle of the night I wake up and I can't breathe. This isn't the first time I've woken up and felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen. I head downstairs for some fresh air and that's when I realize my nose is plugged and then I really start to pace and panick. How the heck am I going to be okay when I can only breathe through my mouth. I can't get a deep breath at all. I started to cry which only makes things even worse. So now I'm really pacing from the kitchen to the living room and back again. I head downstairs to the family room where it's cooler and turn on the computer, what do I do or take to clear up my sinuses. After spending time not focusing on the fact I can't breathe, everything returns to normal and my sinus unplugs itself (momentarily). That's also when I discover my sore throat is actually a head cold.

Now come the sneezing fits. I have sneezed so hard and so much the past two days that I feel as though I've been in a bar fight. My ribs are so sore. Poor Jacob, everytime I sneeze it bothers him and he starts kicking up a storm. Um hey there kiddo, I'm not particularly enjoying this either ya know. I've spent the past 2 days in bed and do not look forward to going to work tomorrow. I still feel like crapola.

So the Glucose testing wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was still gross and probably would have been better had I not been sick. They drew some blood and I had to drink a bottle of orange flavored liquid. It tasted like flat orange pop. After waiting in the office for an hour, they drew some more blood. Please pray that I pass, I can't imagine having to do that again for either 3 or 5 hours.

On a good note, we got the rug for the nursery. I absolutely love it and can't wait to put it in the room.
