Ugh the curse of pregnancy!

I have a cold.. well its more like allergies meet my daughters cold. I forgot how crappy it was to be sick or have an allergy flare-up when you are pregnant because you cant take anything! Im still 8 weeks away from being able to take sudafed. I can't even use my inhaler which makes breathing sooooooooo much fun let me tell you. I have my next appt on the 24th and I am going to BEG him to give me something. The nurse practioner I saw for my initial appt on the 5th told me that I can't take the albuterol but I can take cingular or that one inhaler that lasts for up to 12 hours for relief. I can't remember the name. I have a non-albuterol inhaler but it doesn't help me at all. Its like I took nothing. Grrr... My body feels like I got hit by a truck. Im so stuffed up I can feel all my teeth.
Other then feeling crappy, the only pregnancy complaint I have is I'm still experiencing some morning sickness, or all day sickness. I still find myself running to the bathroom or looking at the toliet paper after I wipe to make sure that im not bleeding. So far so good and nothing showed on the ultrasound. I'm considered high risk. I have to go every couple of weeks a see the dr. I also have to have my cervix measured to make sure it doesn't shorten. When that happens, its stuck to the bed my butt gets. Fun right? Baby looked good at my first ultrasound. It was hard for the tech to get some good measurements and still pics for the radiologist and for me because the kid was literally bouncing off the side of my uterus. I ended up being a week ahead of what they thought. Good for me YAY!! I'm now due the 22nd instead of the 28. Im not complaining. I'm now in my second trimester which I guess makes me feel better because the chance of miscarriage goes down a ton.
Thats all I have for now I guess.
