It's official: I have the nastiest sinus infection in town. Oh dear GOD. My face hurts so much that I can't even open my mouth without wincing. I finally broke down and called the RE to make sure it was alright to take antibiotics right now and then I hauled my behind off to an urgent care center this morning. The doctor there wanted to take x-rays of my sinuses but once I told him I was pregnant, he nixed that idea. He prescribed erthromycin (I'm allergic to penicillin) and sent me on my way. In the meantime, I've been trying to rest and drink plenty of water. And praying and praying for the little one to grow stronger. I feel so nervous about taking the antibiotics right now, but I think that having so much infection running through my body probably isn't the best thing either. On top of the sinus infection, I have about four lovely cold sores on my upper lip, so I know that my body is just FREAKING out right now between trying to heal and trying to stay pregnant. Needless to say, I actually did get to bed at 8:00pm last night. As soon as R put E down I crawled into bed and listened to my iPod for about 20 minutes before dozing off. I slept restlessly, but at least I rested as much as possible.
This whole week has just been such a rollercoaster, it's no wonder my poor body is freaking out. R is leaving for NY tomorrow, so I'll be on my own with E. Hopefully these antibiotics kick in soon... otherwise it's going to be one LONG Sunday.

Believe it or not, I think the sinus infection AND the cold sores are BOTH great signs! I had a ton of cold sores with Maddie (early on and then right before she was born too), and I had a cold/sinus infection thing with both M and Alex too. So even though you are feeling crappy, maybe that will give you some reason to be glad! heh-heh!
Feel better! :)
I am SO glad the numbers went up! My prayers for you on Monday. I hope you feel better tomorrow, er, today, LOL.
I hope you're feeling better and that today wasn't too long with R being gone. And I hope you see GREAT numbers tomorrow!! Praying hard for you and the babies, H!
