I was really lucky last pregnancy not to get anything more than the nausea. Not a cold, flu, etc. This time, my luck has not been so great from the beginning. The sinus headaches I had for a few weeks turned into a sinus infection. I went Monday to the doctors to get on a Zpack. By Wednesday, I was way worse. I felt like someone had beat me with a bat in the head, I wasn't sleeping at night, and to say I was congested was an understatement. So, I called and they had me come back in. I had a fever and had lost 5 lbs. The 5 lbs kinda made me secretly happy though :)
So, now I'm on two antibiotics, a prescription nasal decongestant, and sudafed as needed. I do feel like I'm on the mend today. I'm just still very tired and run down. Clearly, I would be getting more sleep if I had a newborn! I've always struggled to sleep when I can't breathe. So, I end up staying up all night long. After 5 nights like this, it takes a toll!
I hope that in the next days everything is back to normal. Tyler has had to endure a lot of sickness from me in the past 8 months! Poor kid.

hang in there! Sinus infections are horrible, at least you arent usually susceptable to them! Have Josh rub the base of your head-left side-that area controls the sinus' and it will allow some drainage to flow ;)
