So, unfortunately, I am sick. It started yesterday with a bit of a tickle in my throat and today I felt like a truck hit me when I woke up. I have a cough, sore throat, and headache that won't quit. On top of that I am so tired - but can't get comfortable enough to rest. I thought rest was a distant memory before - but now it's a HUGE struggle! It's all made me feel so horrible and pouty. I know, I know - I am a grown-up! But seriously, in the past week my body has really started to feel the impact of the third trimester - and this has just topped me off. I'm trying to hold it together!! I have Kia here to take care of me, but truth be told - I just want my husband home...he's so sweet and just having him here would help! I hope this doesn't get as bad as it did last time because that felt never-ending. Tylenol and cough drops seriously don't cut it. Ugh.
This whole being sick in the third trimester is trickier than I thought. People keep telling me to drink, drink, drink (fluids, not alcohol!!). However, what I have found is the more I drink, the better I settle into resting - and then SURPRISE - I have to pee! We are talking about frequent bathroom trips. So I just get comfortable and I have to get up again. Ugh.
I have to miss yoga tomorrow because there is no way that is going to happen with the way I feel. I am bummed because not only have I been enjoying it, tomorrow they were going to have a talk about essentials for when baby comes. I am also frustrated because I have paid for it, and already as of tomorrow the six weeks will be half over! Ugh.
I was supposed to work this weekend, which I was quite worried about; however, I am very fortunate to have had a few coworkers come together both today and for tomorrow to help out, which has been a HUGE relief for me! Mucho Gracias to you. I can take back one of my 'Ugh's!
UGH!
PS...
