26 Weeks

Here I am at 26 weeks (technically, 25 weeks, 5 days, but who's counting?)

I'm very glad that I had a good weekend, because things took an interesting turn within days of this picture being taken. Kyle had to leave work early on Tuesday because he was feeling feverish. By the end of the day, his temperature was up to 104, so I called Shelby to bring him to our local Urgent Care. He tested negative for strep and flu, so the doctor sent him home with a Z-pack and orders for bedrest. The next morning, he felt worse, so I made him an appointment with an Ochsner doctor. It turns out that he actually did have strep. I was just happy that it wasn't meningitis, which was my biggest fear.

Kyle stayed home for about a week, and it was pretty rough. My OB advised that I stay in a different house, but I just couldn't leave him. My compromise was to sleep on the couch, which I did for 4 nights. Let me tell you - sleeping on a couch at 6.5 months pregnant is no fun! Still, I'm happy to report that he's doing much better, and that I did not get sick. God is good!
