    So now I have to drive about an hour away and get weekly u/s's until Lennox arrives. I was not looking forward to those results, but at least I know why I felt awful last week. My twins contracted it from school and gave to to me. They got the red rash on their faces on the 2nd and 3rd of July! So I guess I'm one of those few that had not gotten it as a kid! And could you please pray for Lennox that he does not develop anemia!

    I was exposed to 5ths when I was in my first trimester with Julianna. Thankfully they tested me and I came back with the antibodies already. I think most women have already had it in their own childhood. I think I remember that it's usually worst when you contract it during your first trimester because it can cause m/c. So hopefully you are a little safer being so much closer to the end. Eat your spinich and broccoli and redmeat! Hopefully your little guy will come out with strong iron counts.
