Right now I have a horrible head/chest cold that won't go away. Everyone in my family got sick over the weekend, they are all feeling better but me. It's still sticking around for me.

Can't believe I forgot to mention my insomnia! I'm lucky to get 3 hours total a night now. It's making me very grumpy and short with DS. Not even hypnobabies is helping me the past 3 nights. Ugh.

And DS got sick Aug 19th. Was better a few days later. During this time DH got it too and was better in 2 days. I got it after DS did and spent a week not going anywhere. I am coughing and definitely not 100% STILL!!! Beginning to think I'm just going to be coughing the rest of pregnancy at this point. *sigh*

I usually never get sick. My kids come home with the sniffles and DH always ends up getting, me never. So it's very strange for me to continue to have this cold and each day it's getting worse. I have my OB appointment today and am going to ask about what I can take, because I am barely functioning at work and once I get home I just lay down on the couch until it's time to go to bed.

oh geez you guys reminded of my carpal tunnel issues andfeeling like I need to stick a/c unit up my ars. Woke up the other night throwing all the covers off and feeling like I am sticking to the sheets. Yuck. But if I remember correctly it will be nothing like postpartum sleeping.

Jackie, LOL...I had a similar problem but it was getting through between the counter and our fridge door open. I defintely know I did not feel this huge until the end of either of my other pregnancies. And I weighed more then. My mom even was lile "woah" when she saw me yesterday. Some of those bathroom stalls are ridiculous even when not pregnant manuervering between the toilet and the door.

I definitely got a "oh-****" look when I was waitng for a stall to open last week and a man walked out, LOL.

The gas.... OMG... Was that me?
The backaches...OUCH
Trying to give DS a bath..... I definitely require some help in that department.
Carpal tunnel... PITA
Insomnia... I go to sleep okay its just a matter of staying asleep for more than a few hours at a time and then not going back to sleep.
The pure exhaustion of carrying the extra weight around on top of growing a human.


Meanwhile I did get to joke with someone at work today when the court reporter asked when I was due and I looked at her and said I'm not pregnant... J.K. But the look of horror on her face when she thought she was wrong was hysterical and totally worth every second of that look!
