Happy Birthday to Me...

Hi all! Where have I been? I can't believe it's been almost 20 days since my last post! I have been reading all of my favorite blogs everyday, but haven't had much to write. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers though. Some of you have gotten some really great news recently and I wish you congrats! (amanda from waitinginline.blogspot.com-super congrats!)

Updates....my bloodwork came back and apparently I had been exposed to fifths disease so I did have antibodies to help protect my little peanut. Had my monthly checkup yesterday (23 weeks as of today!) and all seemed to go pretty well. Hernia is getting worse, but will get belly band to help support my stomach. Today (my 31st b-day) I am having major back pain. Praying it goes away SOON!

Since I have last posted, my toddler was sick. Then my husband. Then me. Love the traveling illnesses!

Thinking of you all. Lots of love and luck to you!!!!

And the story continues...

Ugh! I can't wait till I have a nice normal week w/ no issues. It has to be coming soon. I am due.
Long story short....my toddler son has come down w/ fifths disease. It is a very common childhood illness that consists of a fever and a rash. Only problem....it is really bad for pregnant women to be exposed to it. It can apparently cause miscarriage or birth defects. Lovely. More to worry about. So off I went today for bloodwork to see if I have the antibodies in my system. I will keep you updated....
