Today is going to be really rough. It's just barely the afternoon and I am already wanting it to be over.

Last night my allergies turned into the sickness Bill had last week. I thought I had gotten by without getting it (for once!) but instead, it was just waiting until the worst of times. Last night I was left with no meds to help me because what we had weren't pregnancy approved. By 11 PM I felt like I was dying, and Bill told me that he wouldn't be home until 2 AM as his boss took off which meant he had to do everything. Great for overtime, terrible for me.

This morning I woke up feeling just as rough. I have no voice at all today, not even a whisper. I feel terrible for Katie, as she keeps trying to get me to talk because she doesn't understand. Bill tried to take off today to take care of us, but when he called in he found out that his boss had already taken off AGAIN - so Bill has to go in. I might be a bit more understanding of this, but knowing that his boss is taking a four day weekend because he has a very expensive car he's building up and all the car parts came yesterday so he told Bill he was so excited that he wasn't going to come in until Monday. So while he's playing on his days off, Bill has to go in and leave a very pregnant, miserable me at home to take care of a toddler and myself.

I thought I didn't care that he was going in, I told him it was fine, until he actually shut the front door and left. That's when my hormones kicked in and I burst into tears. He bought me a few frozen meals for today to help me get by, but it won't be enough for both me and Katie and just sitting up is killing my head. Standing makes me very dizzy. I'm so glad I made Bill go to the doctor last week so I don't need to be scared on top of it - I know that despite the bad sore throat, it's not strep and it's not anything serious, just a nasty cold.

 I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse, as I'm already half out of it. Today Bill was trying to talk to me while wrapped in a blanket. Since i can't focus on anything, I've been watching a show about wedding dresses since last night. As he was talking to me, my brain kept thinking about how that yellow blanket wedding dress was a terrible fit, the style was all wrong, and I hated the hemline. It actually took me awhile afterwards to realize what I had been thinking and realizing that I'm nuts!

This means, obviously, that I'm unable to get my blood work done today. Now I'll have to get it done on Monday, which means they won't have the results to give me on Tuesday's appointment and I'll have to wait a few weeks to hear anything. I should have known yesterday when I woke up and felt like I couldn't get out of bed that there was something going on, not to mention the day before when I slept until 11:30 and was still exhausted.

The one good thing about the last two days is the baby is suddenly doing some really, really weird stuff, but it's fun to watch. He keeps pushing out something - I can't quite tell if it's a foot or hand, and shoving it out as far as my skin will let him. He seriously makes these little mounds that are over an inch tall (when I'm laying on my side and he has more room to push) coming out from my belly, and then he starts waving around that little mound and making it go all over. It's fun to watch, and a fun reminder that holy cow, this baby is getting so big and strong!
