Sick and pregnant sucks

I've been handling things pretty well, so I thought. But with everyone at work coming down with something or the other, it was bound to happen to me too. Waiting over half an hour for a bus in -15C weather on Friday also didn't help, I imagine.
So right when my pregnancy nausea is starting to fade, my sinuses are in full revolt and my throat feels raw and dry. I have a really hard time staying hydrated and I can't breath through my nose very well. I know there's a lot of stuff I can't take as well so my usual cold solutions have gone right out the window. You never realize how much you depend on things like decongestant until you can no longer use them!
So I'm suffering. Trying to sleep but can't. Hoping for some relief soon. I knew things would be difficult but I guess I wasn't expecting to be this miserable over something as stupid as a cold. Oh well.
