Today, I’m grateful for: Rest
Calvin brought home a head cold last week (because if we didn’t have enough going on right now, why not throw some sniffles in there??) After a short-lived run for both Dan and Calvin, I thought I might’ve dodged the bullet!….but I was wrong. The sinus pressure has come in full force and officially turned into one of those pregnancy cold from hell (mamas, you know what I’m talking about. 💀)
I keep thinking I’m at my breaking point, and then something else comes swooping in. I think I’ve said some form of the phrase “well, hopefully it won’t get any worse than this!” on several occasions, and I’ve decided I’m officially done tempting fate!! I spent the majority of my day lying in bed tossing and turning trying to decide which nostril I could breathe out of slightly better. Spoiler alert: the answer is NEITHER. And being 8 months pregnant, you’re pretty limited in the extent of soothing mechanisms you can use to help ease the discomfort which means I‘m getting even less sleep than my already insomnia-filled evenings of “slumber”. 😪
Believe it or not, there is a difference between doctor-prescribed bedrest and self-prescribed “rest”, so I’m hoping the down time will do my body some good and I can wake up feeling better. In the meantime, I’m cashing in early. 😴
Peace, love and naps ✌🏼
