Questions.

Oh my goodness. I never knew it was possible to have so very many questions.

"I feel as if I should have more symptoms than I do. Not that I really want any, but...you know...peace of mind, and all that. I keep thinking...is Peanut still there? Is it some kind of weird dream? My cramps have pretty much gone, and my boobs aren't THAT sore..."

"I am sick as a dog. I don't think I've ever been hit this hard with a cold...it's like...the Moby Dick of colds. I have an earache, and I am nearly deaf, which, interestingly, makes everything sound like robots. My cat just meowed, and it was the weirdest thing I've ever heard! I'm soooo stuffed up, and have a cough.

What OTC remedies can I take? My doctor isn't in until Monday, and I remember she told me I can only take Tylenol and Tums, and anything outside of that to ask...What's a girl to do for three days?? Get used to this hell? Invest in Tetley's stocks? I'm not even supposed to take a hot shower, so that rules out standing in there all day every day...Even some minor relief...just make it a whale of a cold instead of a Moby Dick of a cold..."

"I know this is waaaayyy TMI, but I can't take it anymore! I just want to go to the bathroom like a normal person! The last three times I went numero dos, I was in there forever. Tonight, an hour, and I had to give up. This is pure hell. What can I do?"

"It seems that I am dreaming every night, which I never really noticed before, and they are all dreams with babies. Some are nice, but some are really weird! I can even remember them very clearly in the morning. Is that weird?"

"I have been getting crampy feelings for the last several days...almost a week. They're not severe, and they come and go. It feels like I'm about to get my period, but obviously I won't.... Is this normal? Should I be concerned that something is wrong?"

On and on the questions come. I was beginning to get the hang of being pregnant, though. Finally I have made it to the point where I can even say "I am pregnant" without feeling weird.
