Remember a while back when I whined about having a cold in August? What if this isn’t actually a cold? It’s not allergies, because I always get burning eyes first for allergies and my eyes have been fine. Plus I’ve been breaking out like crazy, I’m ravenously hungry all of a sudden, and I am absolutely exhausted. And don’t ask Bear about the mood swings. Please.
After I’d had the cold for about two weeks, Bear finally brought up the fact that when I was pregnant with Bookcase, I never got morning sickness, but I suffered relentlessly from pregnancy rhinitis. Son of a biscuit. Before he mentioned that, I was doing fine, just thinking I was having a monster case of PMS and things would resolve themselves shortly.
Now I can’t think of anything else. I’m afraid to take a test this soon in case it turns out to be a chemical pregnancy and this is all for nothing. Every time I get a symptom that could potentially be pregnancy related, we say that the Phantom Fetus is making me do it. Just in case I turn out to be completely psychosomatic and insane. I feel a little better going in at least knowing that’s a possibility.
