Cold or something on and off for two weeks!!!!!!

My kids have been sick a few times in a row lately. I started feeling like I was coming down with something a couple of weeks ago. My throat was pretty sore for one day. Then it felt better the next day. Then I felt like I was coming down with something (this goes on and off for 8 days). I never really felt sick but just that feeling you get when you are getting ready to be sick and your throat is a tad scratchy. So I feel great last Saturday for the first time and then bam Sunday I get a sore throat again, chills, low grade fever, aches, etc. I feel better except for at night and in the morning b/c of my throat. Then as the day goes on it gets better? wtf!!! I am a tad stuffy but not really sneezing or anything. I feel more like I am swallowing crap and my throat is dry. I couldn't get in with my ENT. I have never felt like this before so not sure if the pregnancy could be making matters worse or what. Anyone else? I am sick of feeling sick!!!! Only time I ever get a long drawn out cold is when I have a sinus infection but I hardly am  having any drainage. I am going to my OB on Monday for my first appt but was really hoping to feel better by then. I swear that each time I get my two kids well again their noses start running again. Anyone else going thru this too? Sorry so long but had to vent it out.

This happens to me quite a bit as well. Same symptoms. Yesterday I felt fine when I woke up and by mid afternoon I felt terrible! I think baby is taking my nutrients. I down a ton of orange juice and drink lots of water when I start feeling this way. Sometimes it last a few days and sometimes it goes swag the next day.
