It seems like Patrick had just gotten over his flu bug when, lo and behold, he caught a cold! On Tuesday I noticed he was congested and had a cough. Wednesday his cough was worse and he had a runny nose, and yesterday the runny nose was worse. Then, last night I began sniffling and sneezing, and I had a terrible sore throat. I ended up not getting very much sleep last night. I hate having a cold when I’m pregnant! This is the third one I’ve had since December, and by far the worst. It seems like I am always catching whatever sickness Patrick has, and Patrick catches whatever is going around at church. Andrew never catches anything! I think this is partially due to my immune system being low on account of the pregnancy, at least that’s what I read somewhere. I really hope I don’t have too many more sick days before August, because it’s miserable to be sick when you’re pregnant. Getting sick and being able to take no medication is one of the worst parts of pregnancy, right next to being told that one must cut down their chocolate comsumption due to the caffeine content!
