10 weeks along and not a whole hell of a lot of sleep

Yes, apparently I only blog in the wee hours of the morning now. That's because it's better than watching the same infomercial on three channels. Ah, life with no cable.
Why am I awake this time? Well apparently my immune system decided to take a hike and left me alone to deal with the cold from hell by myself. Don't worry-I've made sure to WebMD it and make sure it's not strep (apparently with strep you have a fever and you rarely have congestion) and I've ruled that out. I think it's the crud. The nasty cold that the little monsters, er, sweethearts, in my class gave to me. I haven't been taking anything since, remember? I'm currently growing a human inside of me (by the way-seeing and HEARING the heartbeat of our unborn baby-that has been upgraded to a "fetus" today!-was UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE) so most cold medicines are off limits. I'm thinking of checking with the midwife on-call later today about what I actually can take for the cough and resulting throat of fire and daggers. I'm getting just a wee bit sick of tea with honey.
Alrighty, that was a lot of complaining with a fun baby update somewhere in there to really spice things up. I'm off to eat my English muffin and drink my f-ing tea. I mean, my wonderful, healing tea.

Over the Moon

It's 4:30a.m.
I hate being awake at this time because all I can think about is how much sleep I can possibly get if I go to bed. Right. Now. But alas.
I'm awake.
Completely
100%
Totally
Awake
You know the kind of awake where people (what people?) say you should get up and do something? So instead of laying in bed, watching the god-awful boring ceiling, I got up.
Ate a bagel with cream cheese. Read blogs.
Mostly I got up because I don't want to wake up the husband. Why should two of us be miserable at work tomorrow?
I've got that covered.
Because I've got this great reason for being miserable.
A reason for not sleeping.
A reason for eating constantly.
A reason for feeling horribly sick most days lately.
It's pretty much the best reason in the world.
I'm totally pregnant.
