What I Didn't Expect....

There's been a lot going on lately, most of which has made me feel like I stepped into the Twilight Zone.


I had a random cough for 2 weeks after coming home from King's Island. I didn't feel sick or anything, just a wretched cough that made people wonder how many packs I smoked a day. I went to work on the 14th day, thinking that things would be fine. I started feeling crummier and crummier. I barely made it through the night. Something was definitely up. Even though I was doing my best not to call in unless I had been run over with a Mack truck, I had to. I called and made an appointment with the doctor. I knew it was bronchitis, I just figured I needed some antibiotics.


The doc agreed with me and prescribed antis and a heavy duty cough syrup. He told me to rest so it didn't get worse and I should be as good as new. I faithfully took the meds until complete, rested like a champ, but I was still feeling crummier and crummier. It was time for another call.


They told me to come in. He was indeed alarmed that I was getting worse after completing a course of antibiotics and was running high fevers. It was time for a flu swab. When that came back negative (it even covered H1N1!) he then decided it was a very bad version of bronchitis and restarted a much stronger antibiotic and oral steroids. He told me that he wouldn't approve me to go back to work for a few days so I might as well not try.


Even more couch time later, I was getting tired of my house at an alarming rate. I was pretty much pacing the house when I felt ok and back on the couch when I didn't. I was running low on provisions so I had to get out and grab some stuff at the pharmacy since my hubby was at work. I decided to toss a few random things in the basket and then went on home.


We've been trying to conceive for almost a year now, so it's not unusual for me to take a pregnancy test every few months or so. I went ahead and took one, thinking that it would say 'not pregnant' as usual. When i did look at it, I was surprised to see that it was missing one very important word....'not'. Did that really mean what I thought it did?


It did. We're going to be parents in April. Things have been so hectic and so crazy since we found out, but exciting and wonderful at the same time. I know too much so it has been slightly nerve-wracking so far but I'm trying to just relax and let it be. I apologize that I took so much time away from my blogging, but now you all know why. It's been quite a ride, I can't wait to see what the future will bring!

What an adventure we are starting! I'm so excited!
