First Drug Free Cold

This isn't anything to boast about. Please give me the night time drugs to knock me out so I can sleep! Last night was so brutal I ended up moving to the living room so I could feel free to hack up a lung and toss without feeling bad for The Daddy. I mean he's going to get interrupted sleep eventually but why have both of us cranky for now?

So I tried using the nettie pot system. It turns out my "slits" as Sam calls my narrow nostrils are just that. Not even open enough to get water through them and if a drop happens to slip by I splutter and grab for a tissue as if my life depended on it. Lots of burning. So there goes my only hope of clearing my sinuses on my own.

Lots of people have been asking if I've been feeling any movement from the baby and no I haven't. Last night since I was wide awake at 5am I was hoping for the first time to be still enough (and desperate enough) to feel something as a way to see a glimmer of light in this horrible cold I've contracted. But no. I did get a ridiculously sharp pain in my lower abdomen as I coughed at one point, but no baby movement.

So I will just stick to drinking lots and resting and other such non-water-torture remedies.

On another note I think I will have to start taking belly photos soon as I'm finally noticing it looks more round and less flabby. So check back here in the future for those, though I can't promise when.
