Donna, that's what I was thinking too- I asked my mom about it and she agreed, but she pointed out that the difference is that usually your baby isn't dying when you're up all night with it.
There's something wrong with me. I have the worst sore throat I've ever had- it started on Thursday and has gotten so bad that I can't sleep. I am, of course, exhausted. I feel so pathetic, sitting here crying because my throat hurts and I can't sleep. Incidentally, that makes it hurt more. I have to get up in a couple hours to take my friend shopping and I can't think of anything I would like to do less. The friend is from out of the country and this is her first time in the US and we'll only be here in Seattle a couple more days. I've got like 3 hours of sleep each night for the past 2 1/2 weeks. I can't even go cry in bed because I have to share my bed with my friend and will wake her up, so I'm stuck sitting here I guess until I get so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open. I'm sure that will happen about 5 minutes before everyone else wakes up well rested and ready to go. I think the stress build up over the past couple weeks is making me sick or has weakened my immune system. Symptoms: severe sore throat that hurts especially when swallowing, no other traditional cold symptoms except I can feel some mucus dripping down the back of my throat.
There are 3 eggs now. Paul has to kill them by boiling them, which seems soooo mean. Baby Phoenix is down to 52 grams :bawl:
