Poor Kyler



Fifth Disease, yes thats what this horrible chicken pox, measle looking rash thing is. Thursday morning kyler woke up and had bright red cheeks, i didnt think anything of it, they were red everyday all day. Then Saturday he started getting this rash thing on his arms, then sunday it was all over his whole body. Oh my gosh, im terrified my kid has some awful disease and is gonna give it to me while im pregnant. I take him to insta care sunday night and the docotr told me that it is called fifth disease. He said he is mostly common for children ages 5-15 and some adults get it but very rare. He also said once you get it you cant get it again, good news, lol anyways he said that some people get it and dont know it because usually the signs are flu like symptoms wiwth a headach etc. They are contagious at this point but in severe cases they get this rash and by the time they get the rash they are not contagious anymore. It can last 1-3 weeks and there is nothing to cure it. He siad you can be sure to wash your hands good and have better hygiene to prevenet it because it is a virus. He said it just takes time to go away but he can go to school cuz he is not contagious, however he said make sure you have him wear long sleeves or you will get a call home from the school. He gave me a note for his teachers telling them he is not contagious, he wore a long sleeve shirt, and I still got called every day this week, I was like o my gosh doesnt the doctors note explain to you that no one can get it because its not contagious. lol i mean yes it looks like it would itch and it looks worse then it sounds but the good news is it doesnt itch and its not contagious. Its been almost a week and the rash is almost gone now so thats the good news.

7-1/2 Weeks

I thought I was farther along then I really was that is why I changed the title of my last blog. Anyways the most embarrasing thing happened to me today. I woke up, ate an apple and was looking for something else to eat. Immediately I had to run to the bathroom, yes I couldnt keep it down. Well after feeling a little better I had to go to work so I dropped Kyler off to preschool. Then as Im driving to work, yes driving, I throw up all over in my car. Oh my gosh talk about embarassing, luckily it didnt get get on my clothes. It was so embarrasing, so anyways my conclusion to this is I think I have morning sickness. Lucikly it is just now instead of way sooner, and hopefully it wont last long, maybe this increases my chances for a girl lol.

6 Weeks


AHH!! It looks like an alien still. I was looking up stuff online to see how my baby looks so far, (since I have to wait till the 2nd of april for my first ultrasound), and this is it. Everything is still forming, that is so weird looking, hard to believe that is causing all the changes in my body and hormones. Anyways I was doing some old folk tests online to see if its a boy or girl, of course they are myths, but it said i am having a girl. I did the same one as if I were pregnant with kyler and it said a boy, so maybe I could have a girl, lol. Hopefully not too much longer before I find out.

Bummer

O man I was so excited to go to my first doctor appointment, but I found out my insurance is not effective until April 1st so if I go in before then they will not cover anything so I am scheduled for April 2nd. I have been really lucky, no morning sickeness, just very tired but im finally getting over that phase. I didnt get morning sickeness with kyler though so its not too suprising. However I found out that I dont like the texture of yogurt anymore, it made me sick and I seriously thought it was going to all come up but I ended up just dry heaving instead which sucked, so now we avoid the yogurt.
