jayesel : all stuffed up

Thanks to our stupidity of allowing Dan to drink out of my water mug at our baby class on Monday night, I caught his cold. We were SO CAREFUL before then, he wasn’t getting too near me because he was worried he’d get me sick. Then, like dumbasses, we both kinda forgot as he slathered his nasty, cold-germ-infested saliva all over the cup, and then I drank from it.

So, now I have a horrible cold. I was doing okay the first few days, not really missing the fact that I couldn’t take any medicine to ease my symptoms (you know, because of that little baby girl growing inside me!) But today… argh. My head is pounding, I can’t breathe at all through my nose, and my throat varies between sore and HOLY FREAKING COW, is there a fire in there?

I suppose I could break down and call the doctor to see if there’s something, anything they can recommend that’s safe to take. But part of me is like, oh just suck it up, you’ll be fine! I mean, in 5 months I have to push a human being out of my nether-regions, so what’s a little cold? (but MAN, my ears and sinuses HURT.)

The good news is, I slept better last night than the 2 previous nights. I kept waking up every hour or so, tossing and turning, and had weird dreams. Last night was better- though I woke up earlier than I would have liked to on a Saturday morning, but whatever.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I should probably go and throw away the mountain of used tissues sitting next to me.
