A bad week...

(WARNING: whiny post to follow...)
The boys have been coughing and with a cold for a few weeks now. Just normal stuff that passes around from kid to kid - probably thanks to Gavin's preschool class. I already shared in my snoring post that I have a cold, but Jason was struck with illness this week too! SO...on top of me not feeling great and being largely pregnant (which makes life feel that much harder), Jason was sick in bed with the flu Wed and Thurs. Thursday night I went to bed with a weird earache and I had a fleeting thought that I might be getting an ear infection. Well, after a horrible night of not sleeping much and counting down the hours until I could go to the Dr, I found out I had a raging ear infection. I got my antibiotic and went to my OB dr. appt. I was really hoping my first dose of antibiotic would help me feel better, but of course it doesn't! It takes at least 24 hours to start...Unfortunately that means I've been in major pain all day. What makes it worse is this afternoon I laid down to try and take a nap and my eardrum ruptured. That hurts A LOT. SO...we've had a bad week...and I've had a bad day. I did have the thought "it could be worse." And it could! I could still have a hurt back, the kids could be throwing up, my ear infection could have happened on one of the days Jason was sick in bed with a fever....etc. OR - I could be in labor right now. That would be horrible! For the last few days I've been (wishful) thinking that it would be great if this baby was early...even 2 or 3 weeks early. But today I'm hoping for another week or so to get better.
On to something more uplifting...Dr. appt was great. I had an ultrasound to get an approximate on the size of the baby...and he/she measured around 6 1/2 lbs. Great! So that means that its probably not going to be a 9 lb-er...most likely a lb or 2 smaller. I like that! Everything else was great...
And now I'm going to enjoy Mother's Market for dinner, which my husband has just brought home! YuM!
