What the heck??

Sooooooooo does pregnancy rob you of an immune system? I mean, along with trading my brain cells for a faulty memory and absent-mindedness, and replacing my usually normal temperament for outrageous hormone levels, does the baby get my immune system too? This is something I've been wondering lately... especially since my now two-week sinus congestion has recently turned green and I inherited the pink eye from some unknown source (I considered offering you a picture so you could comiserate with me, but since it's kind of gross, I will spare you that one). Since I got pregnant, I have been sick with random illnesses that seem to cling like crazy glue. I don't normally get sick very often, moreover stay sick for weeks at a time, so while this may seem like no big deal to you, I have been having a hard time with it all. Can I just be healthy again?

And can we talk about sleep for a second here? Is it fair that I'm already losing sleep - and he's not even out of my womb yet?! Last night I woke up every two hours like clockwork, and somewhere in there it dawned on me that this is probably what it's going to be like when he comes. Perhaps it was around the 2 o'clock hour that I told myself that I'm going to have to get used to this... not much consolation, I must say.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a negative nelly, a whiner, or a drama queen (although I have had my moments lately, as Kevin can attest). But really, what the heck?
