I reserve the right to whine
Yeah, yeah, I know, I whine anyway in this blog. Sing along with me: It's my bloggy and I'll whine if I want to. This whinge is new, though:
As if being just about 9 months pregnant wasn't enough, now I'm getting sick!!! Yesterday, as I was putting the finishing touches on a turkey dinner1, my throat started to feel scratchy. It felt worse by the time we went to bed, and worse yet this morning. Turns out Werner's throat is sore, too.
This will be my second cold since I've been pregnant. (I've actually been lucky in that a friend came down with two colds and I didn't catch either.) The first was before I even knew I was pregnant, but just in case I didn't take anything to alleviate the symptoms. Ooooh, martyrdom. But it was relatively easy to not take anything, because it was only the cold that was making me miserable. As it is, I'm horribly congested (and have been since the first trimester), my feet and hands are swollen, my joints are aching, and I have a spasm in my back that, even though Werner must have spent hours working on over the weekend, just won't go away. Isn't that enough? Do I really need a cold, too?
1 Werner and I collaborated. It was a heck of a lot of work, and definitely the last time I'm up for a task like that, but aside from having a yummy meal last night, I can take a bit of break as we live off leftovers for the next few days.
