At least I hope it’s the only one to come, anyway. I am so exhausted from this cold that I’ve had. Or Sinus Infection. Whatever stupid name they want to give it. The fact is that I am exhausted from it and I haven’t been able to breathe out of my nose in at least 3 full days now. I’ve been waking up constantly through the night, sipping on a bottle of water because my mouth is so darn dry. After breathing out of my mouth for a couple hours at night, it is this disgusting dry that I can’t even describe!! I actually moved my tongue the other morning before I drank water and I felt my tongue CRACK and I actually bled a little. What!!?

So anyway, right now I’m trying really hard to get through this by drinking lots of fluids and getting a lot of sleep. My first mission was to blow my nose every 10 seconds and hope that the snot would eventually have to STOP BUILDING UP. But it doesn’t. Apparently I have an endless supply and now I’m to the point where I know I have a bunch of crud up inside my sinuses and I can actually FEEL it all up there, but when I blow nothing comes out. It’s like the congestion is staging some kind of “sit down” against me and has permanently planted itself in there. As if to say, Woman you’ve taken enough of our brethren already and we will not stand for this nonsense!

So I’m fighting that. Which is causing me to sleep alot. More than usual. And it doesn’t help that over the last week my tiredness has increased ten fold. I’d say that is one of my biggest symptoms of this pregnancy so far, is my tiredness. Usually after being awake for a good 4 hours, I feel like taking a nap already. Which means getting through the second half of the day at work is like hardcore painful for me. I am exhausted and just want to go home and sleep. By 4 PM I am struggling hard to stay focused and be productive. I hate that!!

Of all these things, I am thankful for my symptoms. Friday is our ultrasound so I am hoping we will find out some good news there. I realize there is nothing you can control as far as bad things happening so I’ve been trying to keep a positive mind through this. Having The Greatest Husband Ever has helped tremendously because he always has some positive words for me if I start worrying too much. He also puts up with my ever increasing lazy ass and takes care of things like dishes, dog food, dog water, etc. Love, love, loooove him :) Can’t say it enough!
