I did not sleep well AT ALL last night. Jake was doing a side job overnight and I normally don't sleep all that well when he is gone, but last night was even worse. I kept waking up every hour to every hour and a half and then as I was trying to fall asleep every sound I heard I kept thinking was someone trying to break into my house to kill me.

So consequently, every hour to hour and a half I kept calling Jake asking when he would be home (even though I knew the answer). I could hear the hammering and sawing in the background of the guys he was working with and I'm sure they thought I was completely crazy. But, I'm pregnant, so they will just have to excuse it!!

Since I didn't sleep well, I was not all that thrilled when my alarm went off. I finally got out of bed around 7:30 and drug myself downstairs where Jake was watching the early show and drinking coffee. I'm pretty sure he knew not to speak to me by the look on my face but it was even more apparent to him when the cat meowed at me and I kicked the air in his general direction.

Once I got out of the shower I was beginning to feel a little more coherent. I headed upstairs to get dressed and had one leg of my pants on when I started to cough and got that all to familiar feeling in my stomach. For the past week or so I have just been able to breath through it and it subsides. This morning I had no such luck. I dropped my pants on the floor and sprinted down the stairs.

When I rounded the corner I noticed Jake was in the bathroom shaving in front of the mirror. All I could get out was the word "OUT!!" I think he got the hint though. Apparently the baby thought that since Danette did SUCH a good job cleaning yesterday I needed to get and up close and personal look at the great job she did on the toilet. All I can say is at least it was clean.

After that, I just figured my whole day was a crap shoot. I considered putting my PJ's back on and going back to bed but instead I got dressed and headed off to work. The rest of the day, unfortunately was not a whole lot better. For breakfast I had corn chips, I don't know... they looked good. Then for lunch I decided I would try subway.

Early on in the pregnancy just the thought of lunch meat made me nauseous. Then when I went to the Dr. he told me not to eat it unless it was heated up, so I have not had subway in several weeks. However, one of my friends goes to the same practice and during her appointment on Tuesday she saw my favorite doctor. He's my regular doctor and when she asked him about the lunch meat question he just rolled his eyes.

He told her that one person that he knows of who was pregnant got Lysteria from lunch meat and so that is what Dr. C was talking about. However, he said if you want to worry about one person, then technically you shouldn't eat anything because people have also gotten Lysteria from Ice Cream. His advice, don't eat green lunch meat, and don't eat lunch meat that has been in your fridge for awhile.

So, I thought what the heck, I'll try Subway. Yeah... still can't do Subway. I got half of a six inch sub down and that was enough. For some reason cold lunch meat still makes me gaggy. To top it all off, the rest of the afternoon was a crap shoot of feeling fine and then feeling yucky.

When I headed home at 5:00 I decided I was just going to eat and go to bed!! So, that's what I did. I ate frozen mac & cheese for the 5th day in a row. Oh I can see it now, my sister just feel out of her chair. All that saturated fat!! (But hey... there's no trans fat!!) At this point my thinking is, I'm going to eat what stays down. And for WHATEVER reason, that happens to be it. So, that's what I'm eating.

After that, I went to bed. I didn't go to sleep right away but I also wasn't feeling the greatest so when Jake got home I declined using the doppler and instead told him we would mess with it in the morning.
