Well, I got the flu... I think. Head cold + fever and stuff. I can tell when I have a fever because my back aches in a funny (but not really funny) way. And sadly, the cold means I can't sleep because every time I lay down, I can't breathe. I've also been really dizzy, but that happened before I got sick...
Anton is being a huge sweetheart and taking good care of me.
He's so patient, especially since I am super fickle about my food. Poor guy listens to me go back and forth about what I "feel" like eating... yikes.
Actually, I wish I could just go without food because I rarely feel like eating anything these days. Except apples. And dried cranberries. But I really hate how differently things taste. And I went from being only slightly picky, to obscenely picky.
I know I don't have any reason to worry, but I'm nervous for the changes my body is going through. I do not relish not being able to sleep on my stomach in the coming months. Or having to find space for a new wardrobe (of course I love getting more clothes... I just don't have anywhere to put them this time).
The worst thing about being pregnant so far... having to pee every ten minutes. Seriously, nothing is more maddening. Especially in the middle of the night. Anton can always tell when I have to go because I first let out a very obvious sigh that clearly indicates I'm irritated.
Oh, and I think the baby has made my ears even more sensitive... everything feels too loud. I flinch every time I hear something above 50 decibels.
Anyway, Anton and I talked, and we decided I can't be a full-time teacher and have a baby, and I would feel badly about leaving them in the middle of the school year (which is when the baby's due)--these kids should have as much consistency as they can in their lives, anyway.
So I'm back at the after-school program. It's slightly more fun, and I get more exercise. Plus I only work 2-4 hours a day... which gives me more time to nap, yay!
Your nose stuffiness could be from the pregnancy. You're producing a lot more blood and the capillaries in your nose could be swelling up. Or it could be a cold lol. I just remember with Joey I was stuffy the first trimester. And don't worry. Later on you'll want to eat everything in sight haha.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess you didn't say it was stuffiness. Sorry :( I hope you feel better!
