Sickly.

Im incredibly annoyed today. The past few days I've been sick with a soar throat, stuffy nose and headache. I'm annoyed because I have been trying to be really careful about not getting sick. I heard getting sick while pregnant is the worst since there isn't much you can take. People were right. I have been taking children's dimetapp cold/flu the liquid kind but today I read online that it could cause fetal hypoxia. Meaning the fetuses won't be getting enough oxygen and could die. So good thing I've about finished off the bottle... NOT... I bought it because dimetapp was on my list from my doctor of things I am allowed to take except I don't think it meant children's version. I looked up regular dimetapp and it seemed fine to take while pregnant. I assumed children's would be better since well... obviously it's children's. So I won't be finishing off the bottle I will just live with my tylenol. Dimetapp only worked for about 4 hours anyway.

So here I am 18 weeks and a couple days pregnant. Sick and can't breathe. Fat and can't move. Who are these crazy woman who love being pregnant!??! ya'll are nuts! I'm not exactly complaining since I got myself into this and I know the outcome is going to be amazing beyond words but till then I'm allowed to be a baby and complain. I look forward to next Tuesday and Wednesday. Just to see my beauties again. Make sure they aren't going to fall out any time soon. I still don't feel that much movement which is bumming me out but hopefully I feel it more soon!

Husband put together all the furniture in their room already. 2 gliders. 2 cribs. 2 changing tables (1 of which will be a book a shelf). I feel weird about it. I think it's too soon. I wanted to wait till I was about 25 weeks before doing that. I about had a hormonal melt down while he did it. I keep telling him good luck taking all that apart if the babies don't make it. He thinks I'm being crazy. Which maybe I am but I want to save myself from overwhelming heart break if something goes haywire. So we'll see for now we call it the baby room instead of the green room like we used to call it. It smells amazing in there already with the new wood furniture smell and the amazing air freshener I have in there. Can't wait to add the baby smell!

Just some sentences and rambling.
