Pregnancy,Flu, pneumonia, Sinus infections, High blood pressure

The first 2 months of the pregnancy was a breeze. I kept waiting for morning sickness which never came. Yet while I was waiting my immune system, which is normally great, decided to take a vacation. It started with what I though was a cold, with in a day I was hold up in bed, running a fever, shakes, sweating and hurting so badly. There was an evening I considered going to the ER. Being pregnant I could take nothing! If you've never had the flu consider yourself lucky, it sucks! The flu subsided leaving a lingering cough. A cough that kept getting worse and worse, dh insisted I go to the dr thinking I could have pneumonia. Well damn it if he wasn't right. 2 weeks of nasty antibiotics, and inhalers later I'm feeling better, but 2 weeks later cough cough cough, yeap another or still case of pneumonia. Enter round 2 of antibiotics. Finally I get over that to be hounded by colds, and sinus infections. In my 3rd trimester my blood pressure starts to creep up, I get put on blood pressure meds, which keep it just at the top of the acceptable range. But even with all this I loved being pregnant. It was the most amazing time with my son. We had a mooring ritual in the 3rd trimester. I had hostess chocolate cupcakes every morning around 10 am. Little man would get a sugar rush and dance wiggle poke me.
