Well, whoever said that being sick and pregnant is awful---they were RIGHT!!! This week wasn't much fun, because I came down with an awful cold! Monday wasn't so bad. I had the day off for Martin Luther King day. I also had my doctor appointment that day. The appointment went well and it was super nice having it scheduled on a day that I didn't work. As usual, the doctor said that I was measuring right on target and he was happy that I didn't have swelling or other complications. I made my final four doctor appointments!! I have one more in 2 weeks and then I have weekly appointments through March 1! It's crazy to think that even with weekly appointments, it is only 4 remaining!
Anyhow, I felt alright Monday morning, but I knew something was setting in by about noon. I got groceries after the doctor appointment and I was absolutely struggling to accomplish this task. By the time I got home, I was shot. Normally on my days off, the "nesting" phenomenon sets in and I'm busy all day getting stuff done. I knew I was coming down with something, because for the rest of Monday I hardly made it off the couch! By Tuesday I felt pretty tough. I'm still thankful that I have been healthy up to this point and I'm also thankful that it was a sinus cold and not a sickness with a temperature or throwing up, BUT I felt pretty icky! I got a big break, because Wednesday school was closed for a Blizzard warning and Thursday we were 2 hours late! The blizzard on Wednesday postponed my school baby shower, but I honestly think I needed rest more than a baby shower that day. The cold is still lingering now, but I think slowly improving. I sure hope so, because it is unbelievably exhausting being sick and pregnant...and teaching while sick and pregnant is even more exhausting!
On a happier note--Friday after school was my school baby shower!! I still didn't feel very good on Friday, but the baby shower definitely perked me up for the afternoon! It was GREAT! I really love the people I work with and it was fun celebrating with them. I was amazed at all the wonderful things they bought for Baby Wetterling! I got a beautiful Pooh quilt, baby clothes, some books, toys, and many other great miscellaneous things.
I didn't have a chance to put everything away on Saturday, because I was still feeling pretty sick, but today (Sunday) I plan to write my thank you cards and then find a spot in the nursery for all the new things! So exciting!
Next Saturday I have my other baby shower with family and friends! Can't wait!
