This sinus thing is driving me nuts. I have a couple hours where I feel tons better and think that it’s on it’s way out, then I get all clogged up again and I get incredibly frustrated that I can’t breathe. It feels like I’m suffocating, and it sucks! Currently the blockage keeps shifting from side to side, which is also annoying me. How can it do that? Why?? Oh I sure hope this means things are letting go. Cause ugh I am tired of sitting surrounded by tissues.

No belly button issues yesterday. He must have just been pressing funny on it on Sunday. Which is not surprizing to me… he’s been getting into some weird positions.

An hour ago I had to get up and walk around a bit, as however he was laying he felt very heavy and very strange. I could feel something firm and hard just below and to the left of my belly button… not sure if it was his head, his butt, or even his back pressing outwards across my belly. I wasn’t feeling any kicks or anything, so I have some suspicion he was facing my back at that point.

Now he’s back to the usual… it feels normal in there, and he’s kicking away at my right side.

Before Den fell asleep he got to feel some kicks and a BH contraction. Devin wasn’t being super active, but when I layed down I realized I was having a BH, so I told Den to feel my belly quick. He was surprized by how hard it was. As the BH faded Devin kicked his hand three times. lol Guess he was a little irritated by being squeezed like that. ;)

Just now my belly’s really twitching, so I pushed on one side… *kick kick* to my hand. I moved to the other side, again he kicked me. The third time he REALLY booted my belly. LOL That’s the first time he’s ever really responded to me… normally if I try to poke him he goes silent.

BabyCenter says that he measures 14.5 inches long and over 2lbs this week. My little growing baby! He still has so much more to grow though. Gosh it’s exciting.

The no-unisom and cold certainly have not affected my appetite at all. My body is sure to remind me when it’s been too long since I last snacked.

Since I’ve been home I’ve really cleaned up my eating habits, too. I ate two little chocolate cookies yesterday… that was all the junk I had. I know some of it is due to my being sick… I’m not drinking any milk other than in cereal, because I need to clear my sinuses out. So juice for me.

Still looking for more meal ideas though. It’s hard when I’m the one eating… since I have such picky tastes. Currently with me being sick I’m eating a lot of soup, pancakes, cereal. Nothing hard to make, and I’m loving the soup, lol. I try to mix eggs in there (though we just ran out), but I can only tolerate small amounts of scrambled eggs (for some reason they make me feel queasy… always have), and we don’t have an egg poacher. I think I need to invest in one. Toast! Oh yes, I love toast. The other day my boss gave me a rotisserie chicken that was fantastic, so we had a lot of chicken sandwiches. (Costco has THE best chicken!)

I’m drinking a lot of hot chocolate though, not because I really want hot chocolate but because it seems to work better than the sudafed and vaporub combined when it comes to helping clear my sinuses. The heat and steam, aahhhh. And no, I don’t like coffee and tea is a very very iffy thing. So hot chocolate it is for me.

Really though, I just want to feel better so I can concentrate on creating a weekly meals list and cooking properly, rather than stumbling into the kitchen to see what kind of soup I can have today.

Speaking of soup…. I think I need breakfast.
