baby take it easy

This past week was just horrible.  It was the first time I hated being pregnant.  Please do not misinterpret this, I love our baby growing inside me, I just wished he could have exited my body for the week while I got over this awful cold, both Paul and I caught.

The plus side of both of us being sick was we did not have worry about getting the other sick with what we have since we have it at the same time, but the down side was that I could not take ANY medicine besides Tylenol and I have to limit that as much as possible because my midwife doesn't like it.

Things took a turn for the worse on Friday night, I tried to go to bed at 10:30 because I needed to wake up at 7 to get ready and drive to Arnhem.  But between my coughing, sneezing, and runny nose.  AND the worse sinus pressure in my face I've ever felt I didn't sleep all night.   I got out of bed at 7 and was super emotional which only made my coughing and runny nose worse.  Paul calmed me down and I decided that doing a weekend master class was not the best thing for my body, I especially have to think about Brandon now and 2 days of a 9:30-6PM master class 1 1/2 hours from home was not an option.  So I called and canceled.  The entire weekend I thought about what everyone was doing in the class and how it was to work with the teacher who came up from Paris,  I ended up sleeping from 9AM until 2PM.  I was very happy yo get an email from the organizer of the master class offering me a deal to still work with this voice teacher if I go to her in Paris.  I'm not sure if I will take the deal but I think if I go to Paris again before Brandon is born is would still be wonderful to meet her and have some tea.


Today was the first morning I woke up from a full nights sleep, you can only imagine the bags that have been under my eyes from the weekend.  My sinus pains have gone, I am hoping they are gone for good, I never want to experience them again.   But this week I am taking it easy, my only goal for today was getting oranges from the grocery store, getting organized for the Dublin competition next week, and making dinner.  It's also just to cold and icy outside to want to window shop or take a walk.
