On Being Pregnant & Having Bronchitis.

So yeah, here's another update on my lovely, glowy pregnancy....I swear my blog is starting to sound like a hypochondriac's dream. Unfortunately, I don't suffer from hypochondira and all this crap is all too real.

Well, that nice head cold that I got from my son (who was once again exposed by the awesome parents that love to take their kids to play gym with snot dripping to their knees and their lungs hanging out of their mouths) went away for three days before turning into acute bronchitis. Doctor says my lungs weren't ready to take on the cold weather, and all Thanksgiving weekend, we were out in the cold. Hard not to do when it is so freaking cold out!

After three days & nights of literally no sleep, and I mean none at all, not even a 30 second nap due to the violent coughing, I calledmy OB in tears and she prescribed a steroid inhaler and antibiotics. I am on day 2 of these and so far so good (knock on wood). I can't afford to be this sick and sleep deprived with a son to take care of....and I have to trust that the meds I am on are safe for the baby. Ugh. I am ready to give birth......can I jsut fast forward to February already? Please?
