No fair :(

I am signing a petition and sending it to Heaven telling God that I think it's highly unfair to allow women to get any kind of illness on top of pregnancy! Last Sunday we spent the day in Heber with my family and my nephew had one of those out of control runny noses.. I thought, "Great.. Lilly is totally going to get sick," because we all know that little kids share germs like no other, making it especially inevitable when they're sharing toys. Sure enough, the next day Lilly woke up with the same runny nose. The morning after that, David said his throat was hurting him. Guess what? The morning after THAT I woke up with a stuffy nose AND sore throat. Yippee. One of those extra fun things about pregnancy is that your immune system is pretty much shot, making me get the worst of all ends of the cold. I feel like a really bad mom in the morning when Lilly wakes up and I make her play in her crib until an hour later when I feel capable of falling out of bed, groggily picking her up and filling a bottle with milk before I collapse on the couch with a roll of toilet paper by my side. I think it's pretty fair to ask God to lighten up on the health related trials when I already feel like (or actually do) throw up 24/7, pee every 20 minutes, my back and hips are constantly out-of-wack making it really hard to walk, and have a terrible nights sleep every night because of these things. Now, I'm forced to breathe out of my mouth, which makes my nausea way worse and am sure my nose is going to start bleeding if I don't start blowing it into a cloud here pretty soon. All in all, pregnancy is hard and different for every girl. On top of all the changes and weird issues, I think it's fair to ask that annoying colds and such be exiled until AFTER the baby is outside of our bodies. Feel free to sign your name and add any comments you'd like me to send along with the letter, thanks!
