My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Wow, where to begin? Well, I went to my family doctor yesterday morning and he told me that this is an "abnormal" pneumonia and after I told him about my last pregnancy, threw around the word "haemophilus" rather carelessly. That is a word I NEVER want to hear in relation to me again, unless it is part of a sentence containing "is immune to."

For those of you who don't know, this was the infection that ended my previous pregnancy at 18 weeks. So I have been staying home the rest of the week trying to get over this pneumonia. I do feel mostly better, but it's hard to tell what symptoms are due to the pneumonia and what's from the baby! I just hope and pray that I am able to be vigilant enough about my own health to carry this child to term.

In other exciting news, I called my OB's office this morning (they must LOVE me by now - I've been bugging them so much this week with being sick) and asked if I could schedule an ultrasound at my first appointment just to put my mind at ease and make sure that everything's developing appropriately, since I've been so sick. I was granted my wish! I didn't get an ultrasound last time until 18 weeks (2 days before I miscarried), so this should be COOL! I sure hope everything turns out okay...
