On Easter Sunday, I had a feeling something was wrong when I couldn't even breathe through my nose, even after taking Sudafed. Two mornings later, my feelings were confirmed when I woke up feeling as if my sinuses were on fire. I finally decided to call my doctor, which is a huge step for me. I very rarely see my doctor for a sick visit. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with a severe sinus infection. I've never had one before, and I can honestly say that I hope I never experience one again!
I'm really hoping the antibiotics work quickly, because I have been a miserable person to be around. I feel so crappy! Between not being able to breathe, having a pounding headache that won't go away, dealing with the morning sickness and increased contractions, all while trying to live life normally, I feel like I've reached my limit!
I've had a few bad contractions, but I'm still confident that it's normal for me. The only difference is that the intensity and frequency is kicking in much sooner this time around. I've talked to my OB, and I have a regular appointment scheduled next week, so hopefully they won't find anything of concern. Not to worry, though. I've been taking it easy, spending a lot of time off my feet, and paying close attention to what Nugget and my body is doing! Having gone through preterm labor before, I'll know if I need to head to the hospital.
I'm trying to stay positive, and focus on the fact that I should feel a lot better in a few days!!! For now, I have a good distraction:
