The Snowball Effect

It's been 2 weeks since my last post. Things have been going okay. I got a really bad sinus infection about a week and a half ago. Dr. Mills put me on an antibiotic and I just finished that on Sunday. I feel a little better but not great. I'm coughing up a storm and that is really keeping me up at night. I'm caught in such a bad snowball effect right now and I can't wait to get out: I already have pregnancy nausea and insomnia and this sinus infection is really adding to the problem. I can't sleep because I'm coughing and the second I do finally fall asleep, I start coughing again. I gag on all the mucous I'm coughing up and sometimes it makes me vomit! As if pregnancy nausea wasn't horrible on its own and now I've added this to my plate! Anyway, I'm hoping I'm on the downslope of this illness. I'm really ready to feel like myself again.

I have noticed that I'm starting to lose my waist. I put a skirt on last week and it was uncomfortable. My shorts and things that are cut lower in the waist are still fine, thank goodness. I did start maternity clothes laundry this weekend so they'll be ready for me to dip into. I don't think I'm ready for them yet but I want to be prepared. With your sister, I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until I was 6 months pregnant. I have a feeling it'll be sooner with you.

Hopefully we'll get to find out what sex you are in a little less than 2 weeks. Daddy says we're not allowed to talk about it anymore until we actually find out. It's driving us both crazy! I wanted to open a baby name book yesterday but had to fight the urge. I'll let that be a reward when we finally find out. My gut still says boy but I'll be happy with whatever.

Keep growing good in Mommy's belly, little baby! Mommy loves you!
