I started coming down with this cold last Saturday (5 days ago). You know how that feels...the rawness in the back of your throat and nose that Tylenol does nothing to help. Rawness accompanied by achy, sneezing and headache...we've all had it. The stupid common cold. Usually, in my experience, these really uncomfortable symptoms last about a day or two then the congestion sets in and though you sound worse, you feel a lot better.
This time? Not the case! I'm thinking it must have something to do with being pregnant. I have had these awful raw symptoms for 5 days now. Where’s the snot?? The snot that soothes this terrible rawness that makes food taste horrible and even water feels gross going down. I would rather be so stuffy that I can't taste a thing than feel like this!!!
Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer, but spring has Sprung and it's so nice outside, but I hardly feel like leaving my house. I guess all my body's nutrients and immunity are focused on growing a healthy baby, so that's why this cold is taking so much longer to kick. Ugh...any day now would be great!!
Nursery update: Even though I've felt like crap, I've been slowly getting things together in there. Little bits at a time then I go lay down. It's so much fun that I can't help myself even though I feel like shit. Pictures are coming soon!!
Happy Spring!!

Ugh! I had a cold early on in the pregnancy and was miserable. The stuff you can take (tussin) does nothing. But we are dealing with a compromised immune system here so this cold will last longer than normal. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI have been dealing with that same icky cold for about a week now! Yuck! Hope you feel better soon!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get well soon!!! Being sick during pregnancy just seems really unfair!

I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy. =( Is it possible it could be allergies now that it's spring and pollen and other things are in the air? Like maybe being pregnant makes you more sensitive to those things?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pics of the nursery!!
Hope you feel better soon! I've been battling a cold since Saturday too...thinking the same thing any day now it's going to get better...ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...I feel you girl. I have the same stinking cold that won't go away!!! Crossing my fingers for both of us that it subsides soon!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see pics of the nursery!!!
Get a Neil Med sinu-cleanse sinus rinser and do it twice a day! I promise it helps so much, I used it this morning.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better and i can't wait to see nursery pics!
Haha, I think you'd have to be put on strict bedrest to keep you away from all things pink and nursery! I love it, lol! Not to worry, I think we are all like that :) I hope you get feeling better soon. It WAS spring here, but woke up today to the evil s-word :(
ReplyDeleteAw, feel better girl!!! Could it be allergies? Take it easy and get better...on-line shopping is always available no matter how badly you feel, right? =) XO
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are sick honey! Cannot wait for pics! Love some nursery pics!
