The sickness still has me down

I'm sick. I'm so fucking sick. My eyes are all itchy..I can't breathe out of my right nostril..my throat hurts..my nose is runny..I'm light headed with a slight headache..and I can't stop sneezing and coughing. I'll survive, I know. I'm just miserable for now. We took Calix to his doctor's appointment yesterday (damn, it was only yesterday?)..he still weighs 20 pounds..so that's cool. He's also 27 3/4 inches long! Soooo big! Or so I thought. After his appointment, we went up to the OB-GYN so I could do a piss test for them so they could start setting up my OB appointments. They kinda wanna make sure you're actually pregnant before they do that..but I was like "Two EPT tests said I was pregnant..and unless they're both faulty.." but I carried my cup of warm piss out to the nurse and about 3 minutes later, she turned..walked over to me..and said "the pink line means you're pregnant" while flashing the test at me (that I didn't even get to *focus* on) then said "congratulations". I think that's when it finally sank in, ya know? Orion kissed me..I stood there frozen for what seemed like an eternity..and then I felt myself smile. We then went back down to the ground floor and waited for Calix's prescription eczema cream..and in that time, people passing by would stop and be like "I just had to stop and say hello to this little guy! He's *so* adorable!". An older gentleman sat down next to us..got all playful with my little man and filled us with stories from when he was in the army. Another woman around my age sat down as well with a boy that I thought *had* to be at least 5 years old..so we got to talking. 3! He's only three! She told me about how he was 25 inches long when he was born and 36 inches long by the time he was 9 months old. HOLY CRAP! Can you imagine a 3 foot tall Calix? I mean..the kid had 9 inches on him! Wow. Oy. I made pan de jamon today..so that's good..even though I can barely taste it because of the illness that overwhelms me..but Orion assures me it's "fucking delicious, cuddle!" and keeps asking for more. So. I guess that's that. Well then. On with dinner...and then maybe a nice long hot soaky bath. Sounds yummy.
