Seriously sick.

Okay, so I love being pregnant despite the waking up to pee and eating like a crazy person, but the worst is when you get really sick because you can’t take anything! Yes I know I can take Tylenol but my mom and I have this funny thing where anything less than Tylenol 3 does nothing for us, so yeah, I’ve been seriously sick since December 23rd and haven’t been able to take a bloody thing! And I mean seriously sick, I’ve had horrible headaches, throat pain, sinus pain, cough, phlegm, running nose, aches, and loss of appetite. I’m finally starting to feel a bit better. So today I’m a 6/10 on the pain scale instead of 9 or 11, so it’s really a sticky little evil cold. I think my baby has got it to a lesser degree since she doesn’t have much of an appetite the last few days but at least she’s happy to drink herself silly with juice so that’s good.

Running has not happened since the cold hit me but I’m hopeful that with both me and my husband being off work until January 4th that I’ll get a few runs in once my energy level is back. The other positive thing is that my cleaning lady comes for her first visit tomorrow, hurray, and I’ve finally got some good work done on my daughters big girl room so I feel great about that.

So to make everyone smile, here is my lovely 16 week belly shot. I’m almost half-way through my pregnancy so that is a great thing and near the end of January I’ll know if we’re having a little boy or a little girl. I promise to publish some photos of Lillian’s big girl room once I get it finished.
