Sinus Infections Stink

Sinus infections suck, but being sick sucks even more when you are pregnant. The modern comfort of the n-y-Big-F'ing-Q is not allowed. So, the common little cold of sniffles, decides to turn into aliens invading my sinuses that feel the need to be exorcised from my body at 4 in the morning after I wake up unable to breathe.

Baby, you better appreciate how much I love you!

That said, I finally got some common sense and went to the Dr. I have dealt with this before, and unfortunately, my sinus infections tend to have a nasty habit of turning into Bronchitis after draining down into my lungs. Thus, I felt it wiser to hit up the doctor now at the sinus stage instead of waiting for the bronchitis stage. Ahhhh... amoxicilin.

I will admit though, it is no where near as fun taking amoxicilin as an adult as it is as a child. I think pregnant women should be allowed to have the kids kind. To this day, I still think it's some of the best tasting medicine on the planet. I have that fond of memories of the days of the big bottle of pink antibiotics that I practically begged my mom to give me because it tasted so good. Hahhaha

Either way, thankfully, the doctor took pity and I should be feeling better sooner than later... or at least I can hope. It's never a good thing when your boss basically tells you that you look like crap because you are so tired and "night of the living dead" looking.

Oh, and please don't say I better get used to lack of sleep for when the baby comes, because being awake not able to breathe, feeling like someone beat your face in with a baseball bat is very very different than waking up to feed the young one. :-) That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
