Re-Diagnosis

So, I got a call from my doctor and while he told me I had pneumonia, they had to do the blood test to confirm (since I can't hop under the x-ray pregnant). When the results came in, they were wacky and he wanted to do more bloodwork to rule out some other things (what that meant I didn't know). I went to the ob today for my regular appointment, explained to them whats going on, they did the bloodwork to send over to the other doctor (to save me a trip) and its conclusive.....mono!

Shesh. I had mono in college and I didn't know you could get it two times. I do have to say, while this was rough, this time was not near as severe as when I had it in college. From what I've read it seems that it stays in your system for life and can flare up? Maybe I'm wrong, I've mainly been searching mono while pregnant to make sure our baby is okay. The doctor said since I'm feeling better thats the main thing and there isn't anything to worry about with the baby, so I hope she's right.

I'm so happy to be feeling better it really doesn't matter to me what it was. My energy still isn't what it was, but I think part of that is also being pregnant.

Things are going well around here, we're in full fledge renovation land and Joel and my Dad are knocking it out. We'll all be really excited to get everything put back together but so far it looks great.

We're also keeping a very close eye on the hurricane since its looking like its going to be a very close hit to where we live. We had planned to go on a family vacation (as three for the last time) but now we're not so sure what the right thing to do is. Watch and wait I believe!

Thats the update from here, here is a cute picture to make this blog worth it!
