I am congested and I cannot stop coughing. A friend of mine (an RN) was so concerned yesterday that she busted out her stethoscope and her home pulse oximeter to check my breathing, pulse and O2 stats, all if which were normal. Hard to explain THAT without giving away the pregnancy.

And at work, my co-workers are so concerned over my cough/congestion and comment on it frequently. I'm just like..."nothing to see here, people!"

Blowing my nose is blowing my cover. I'm not going to make it through the first trimester without spilling the beans.

Hopefully the mucus production slows down soon but I'm not optimistic that it will.
