A little prayer is appreciated...

We took Katie back yesterday...I was sooooo sick, but hated to have Alex make the drive all alone (especially since he had to go further), so I tagged along.  By mid-day I was ok (pills kicked in).  We dropped her off, then went and found the first decent-looking restaurant we came across...we must have been dang hungry, cuz it was a crappy little buffet thing and it cost a total of 35 dollars just for the 3 of us!  Ugh...  Oh, and forgot to mention the best part...Alex got a New Year's day present somewhere along I-10...yep, not a warning this time...a very cordial officer gave a very CRAPPY ticket to my very cordial honey...LOL!  Aye..I was annoyed at first, then thought it would have been me...I would have been doing the same speed he was doing (I-10 goes down to 70mph, instead of 75mph).  Anywho, it's done..made for a few funny cracks on Alex on the way back...

I've been feeling a bit better today (anyone gets sick, take Tylenol Cold Severe Congestion..that stuff works wonders...).  I did, however, get worried about taking that..then I saw 2 other people on my preggo board say they were taking it, too, at the advice of their OB.  But I've been cramping alot today..no bleeding, just cramping.  I'm hoping it's either from coughing so hard, possibly a UTI (I ran out of my daily antibiotic yesterday for those), constipation (yep, lovely, I know), or a combo of the three.  I automatically assume the worst, and I'm trying REALLY hard not to freak out here.  My ob's office opens in the am, so I'm going to try and get in.  I also have to try and get Kait in to her dentist still, too.  So, a little prayer would be appreciated..for little bean, and for my sanity.  I try my hardest to keep the panic at bay, but sometimes...sometimes I just can't.  When we had the ultrasound and I saw that little face looking back my way on the screen...for just an instant, I remembered what it was like to be happy and enjoy a pregnancy...to have dreams for the little one inside.  My reality came back quickly, tho, and I can feel my heart guarding itself again...a feeble attempt to avoid any more pain.
