My period definitely started today! So this now becomes Day One of my new cycle. I feel a little sad, but I'm slightly relieved that I at least know the answer to the question now (the question being, "Am I pregnant this month?" of course).

I think I'm really sick. I have really bad congestion and have been coughing non-stop for two days. (Kevin is getting so annoyed with my constant hacking, I feel sorry for him.) I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to see about getting some medicine. I think I might have pneumonia, I've had it before, and it was a lot like this! Although, the doctors used to think I had pneumonia all the time and it was just my allergies. So maybe that's the problem again. Usually some penicillin and/or prednesone helps. I can take whatever medicine now that I'm not pregnant! Least, for a few weeks. ;)

I'm also going to see a allergy specialist next week. So I have to stop using all antihistamines to prepare to take a three-hour long allergy test (which means that my allergy symptoms may even get worse if that's possible). Basically they subject you to various allergens and see if you're allergic to them. Then, after the test, I'll be able to say, "I'm a pet dander, ragweed, mold" like they do in those Zyrtec commercials. I will then ask the allergy specialist about how to control my allergies and asthma during pregnancy. I think that controlling my asthma will be one of the hardest parts of being pregnant! (Of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about, since I've never been pregnant before!). Just because I have trouble with breathing now, and during pregnancy you get a chronic stuffed up nose due to pregnancy hormones. That would make me sooo miserable. Supposedly, some women experience a temporary remission from allergies during pregnancy. That would be nice if that happens. =)

I'm on vacation for a few days (taking a few days off this week and a few days off next week) so I may not be updating the blog as early as I usually do. Even though I won't have much baby news while "Aunt Flo" is here. Hehehe.
