15 weeks, 6 days
It feels awesome to be beginning my second trimester. I still don't know where the first one went?! And while I am incredibly pleased my pregnancy seems to be flying by I have this sneaky suspicion that time is about to slow down BIG time.
I have been feeling really good up until recently when it seems that just like everyone else I have succumbed to being sick while pregnant. I was doing so well too! I know our immune systems weaken but I had successfully avoided getting sick my entire first trimester! Aside from the occassional allergy attack I was golden! I washed my hands almost every five minutes and avoided sick people like the plague all in an effort to remain well and healthy. Then, without fail, just as I am about to enjoy a few well deserved days off with my hubby in the form of a staycation ( I discovered I had a few extra vacation days rolled over from last year and thought now would be the perfect time to use them!) - POW - sick as can be. Nothing too dramatic - just your average head cold, but SHEESH, I had worked so hard at staying germ-free only to be riddled with them while trying to enjoy some time off. I think the worst is over but I know it's still going to linger a few more days (just in time to be heading back to work).
It's not that I was upset I couldn't really take anything for it - I don't normally use cold medication even when I am not pregnant. It just stunk to be pregnant, on vacation, AND sick - come on! Not fair at all. Oh well, I consider myself lucky and grateful to be doing so well thus far. I am just going to keep my fingers crossed and my hand sanitizer close by for the remainder of my journey!

I can totally relate to this. So far everything for me has been rather uneventful with relatively few complaints until I also came down with something a week or so ago. Being pregnant and not being able to take something (for me, who usually does) was pretty miserable. And on top of that it was the last day of school (not a day I could miss!) and now I'm into my summer vacation and still recovering from it. :P Hoping the rest goes smoothly for you though, and do keep that sanitizer handy (along with lots of water and OJ)!!
