4/11/08 Friday

Okay. So I'm a little behind. I'll try to catch up a little. On Friday (the 11th) I ended up going to our regular Doctor! I was on vacation starting on Wednesday last week. Well, on Sunday I started feeling like I was catching a cold, no big deal, I've had few during this pregnancy. By Thursday I knew it wasn't gonig to be good. My breathing started to suck and when I would lay down all I would do is start coughing. Friday morning Chuck convinced me to go to the Doctor. I called the baby Doc and they said to go to my other doc. I call the other Doc and they tell me to go to the baby doc. Figures. I obviously end up at the regular Doctor. Chuck had reminded me that since I had pneumonia about 5 years ago and was hospitalized for it I'm more susceptable to getting it now. Well, that's the last thing I need. We go in, the Doctor said it wasn't pneumonia but sounded like the start of bronchitis. Lovely. He gave me a z-pack. I was so miserable it was nice tosee a light at the end of the tunnel. Saturday morning I still sounded sick, but could breathe so much better! Unless of course I moved too quickly and got my heart rate up which then caused me to go into a coughing fit. I was afraid to wait until Monday to go in to the Doctor since the baby shower was on Sunday also. Thank goodness. (The baby shower will be in the next post. Hopefully along with pictures that are at home.) I'm feeling much much better. Although my tummy is still a little funky, and I've notice my ear is acting up. But that is all gravy compared to breathing like crap!

I go for the 36 week check up on Friday! I totally forgot that we need toget the hospital paperwork done and sent in! I think Thursday night is the night to finish that off!

Chuck is closing tonight so hopefully I'll get to the computer to put up a couple of pictures too!
