wait to throw a wrench in things...

Guess what...I found our memory card. Isn't that great. That means I wont have to buy a new one before this baby comes out!
Unfortunately we (Grace and I) are sick, and so I'm not going to take the time to down load pictures. Besides...the only pictures that would explain our life would make you want to vomit. Seriously.
* snot filling toilet paper/Kleenex's EVERYWHERE
*dirty dishes somewhere underneath the piles of snot filled tissues
*I can't even see my counter tops anymore. Seriously, they are covered with remnants of chicken salad (that's a different story), dr pepper cans, medicine bottles, and a SVN machine.
*dirty clothes everywhere.
*messy beds.
*Grace naked.
*myself in my unmentionables.
You get the picture...I don't think you can, but seriously its bad...

It all started last week when Grace woke up with a cough. DANG IT! I thought it might go away...no such luck. It turned into a fever, with cough, and runny nose. Oh, and a really cranky 3 year old. But to tell you the truth it wasn't that bad. I mean I hated waking up in the middle of the night to give her more medicine (in the form of Gatorade mixed with triaminec...we are nothing if not dishonest with Grace), and breathing treatments. But she cuddled with me, and we pretty much layed around watching Diego (who incidentally isn't that bad?) on instant netflix all day. I became her favorite! I haven't been the favorite since I whined Grace from nursing. It was kinda nice.
Well all the quality time really bit me in my big fat pregnant butt! Its hard to miss. So I started to feel super unmotivated, and then the sore throat came to visit. Along with her friends head ache, neck pain, body aches, nausea, no appetite, and a stuffy nose.
Can I just complain for a minuet? I HATE being pregnant AND sick. I hate it. You know what I hate even more than pregnancy and sicknesses??? Being BIG pregnant, and sick. Ugh.
I can't breath very well to begin with. Top it off with a stuffy nose. I been turning BLUE!!!

Nausea...welcome back! I missed you....haha, no I didn't. I'm at a point in my pregnancy that I feel sick if I don't eat (you know kinda like the 1st trimester). Since being sick I have no appetite, and I feel super nauseous. So I don't eat...then I get even sicker. Then I eat something. The ONLY thing that has sounds somewhat appetizing is chicken salad. Where the hell did that come from? Seriously. Chicken Salad. If I were to think of something that would sound good while being sick, it would never be chicken salad. Nevertheless. It is what has sounded good to me. I've had it like 4 days in a row. Anyways. Its about the only thing I can gag down, and then I am left felling nauseous again. SO ANNOYING. The silver lining is that I haven't gained any weight this week! yeah! I seem to gain a pound a week.

I also had TWO tests this week. A practical, and our first exam. On the heart. The exam was a joke. Seriously, the teacher gave us a review and all but 5 of the 70 questions were taken from the review. A-MAZ-ING! Thank you! But I really didn't study for the practical very diligently...ok, I didn't at all. So that didn't go over as well as the exam.
We also were asked to give talks on Sunday. I pretty much stuttered all over the place for about 5-7 mins, and then said amen. Maybe they won't ask us to speak for a long time now!

Both Grace and I got AB yesterday. Guess what. Grace's is oral 3 times a day for 10 days. I almost passed out when I read that. BUT, Grace has been a gem about taking it. I don't know, but seriously she loves the stuff, and looks forward to her special medicine.
I am hoping with all hope that tomorrow I will have the energy to clean the kitchen. But I am stressing. I don't like our house in this much disorder. I mean the typical disorder is fine...but this is like BAD!
