man...
Posted: 01-25-08 13:32pm

So, I've been going through A LOT. Mentally and physically these past 2 weeks.

As EVERYONE knows, I've been HELLA sick. Coughing, sneezing, not able to breathe, etc...

And I'm also VERY pregnant. 39weeks 5days pregnant to be EXACT.
I've NEVER been THIS pregnant, and never realized how HARD it is to function.

Oni, of course, is cutting me NO slack...at ALL. She tears the house up RIGHT after I clean it. Throwing toys in a bin is a lot harder to do lately... And she's been throwing MASSIVE fits at night when it's time for her to go to bed.
Baron seems to think her behavior is changing because she KNOWS the baby is coming soon.

Well, to add insult to injury, Baron has been working A LOT. From 6am to 7pm. That wouldn't be bad if I wasn't this pregnant having to deal with Oni and being really sick.

If someone calls me on the phone, I can only say like 2 sentences, and am panting for air. I'm not sure if it's because I'm sick, or because I have this HUGE belly and I'm chasing after Oni while I'm trying to talk.

Anyways, I'm hoping that this sickness is on it's last leg, and it's headed out. Because I honestly don't think I can go 2 or 3 more days like this.

I was pleading with God last night to cut me a break. Either with the sickness, or with the pregnancy. SOMETHING has to give...right??

Sorry about all my pathetic posts...I just never realized how much of a toll being sick, having a toddler, and being this pregnant could take on the body.

Your posts are NOT pathetic. I'm sorry you're so sick & pregnant right now, I know how I feel & I couldnt imagine being huge pregnant while chasing oni around all day, no way!

I hope you get better soon =(

Hopefully you'll be feeling better before you have the baby and that way you won't be sick when she gets here !

The positive thing is that you are still pregnant! Just what you wanted. I know it is hard, but enjoy these last few days of pregnancy.

AND TAKE THE SPRAY DAMMIT! Jeez. Don't suffer if you don't have to. Wink

I'm sick too. Ava has bronchitis. I had to miss work today to take care of her b/c we had no one to watch her. I hate sending her to someone b/c she's so sick.
My mom's in the hospital with pnuemonia. I have no clue what'll happen Monday-Wednesday. Jesse will be working, I HAVE to go to work, and my mom can't go anywhere near us until we're 100% better.
I'm hoping she's well enough to go with my sister-in-law, but she watches other kids and I'll risk getting them sick too.
We've been sick on and off since xmas.
I know how you feel.

You'll have that baby reeeeeaaaaalllll soon!!

Thanks Ladies. Ya know, if just ONE thing would give, i'd be sooooo greatful!!

Like if the sickness would give, I'd be sooo ok with being this pregnant!!!

Baron is being helpfull, but not sympathetic. Well, he realized yesterday that I was BAD OFF. He came home at noon and I was just laid up not moving, panting, running a fever, with this HUGE belly and he was like "oh man baby...you're really NOT ok...are you??"

So he took off of work today to help me out with Oni...

I think I need to get out of the house too. I haven't left this house since Monday. I need some fresh air.

Everything happens at the worse times. Jesse's working nights right now. When Ava had the virus he was working days.

I get no help either especially since my mom's in the hospital and can't be around us for about another week.

Oh that sucks, Betsy! I hope everyone starts feeling better and things get back to normal.

How is your mom feeling?

That's the thing Ingi. I LOVE the fact that I'm still pregnant. I NEVER would have imagined I'd be able to make it to my due date! I'm sooo excited about that!!!

I just wish I wasn't sick.

I can only take the spray twice a day. Every 10-12 hours. And being that I took it at 3 in the morning, if I take it at 3 this afternoon, I won't be able to take it till 3 in the morning again...or maybe 1.

But I'd rather take it at like 11 tonight so I can get a NORMAL nights sleep! lol!

I really want to go to a parade this weekend...but it's rainy and nasty and bleh!!

Did you also get some saline nasal spray (salt water)? That is helpful as well.

No I didn't get any Saline spray. Will it clear it up as good as the afrin? Or will it just make me able to blow.

Becuase the Afrin reduces the swelling so maybe I could use the saline in between the afrin.

Mreh, I hate things going up my noooose! LOL!

my eyes are watering just thinking about nasal spray but it makes you feel so much better. im glad Baron took the day off and realized you need help, i was upset for you when he asked you to straight the living room. i have a short torso i guess cuz i already get that panting for breath thing lol. i hope you feel better, its no fun to be down like this.

Thanks Dani!!

I was SHOCKED when he asked me to straighten up. he's normally the type to do the laundry, the dishes, clean up, bathe Oni, etc! I guess the house was just THAT bad!! LOL!

I can't wait till bed time and I can take some of that spray again!!! It was a GODSEND!!

I'm the same way about my eyes watering just THINKING about the spray!!!! But I swear I'm sooo glad I discovered it! LOL!
