Snag in the road

So on Monday morning I woke up to a text from the night before from Carter's babysitter, Lisa. She said her daughter, Kennedy, had a fever Sunday night but she was pretty sure it was just teething. So Carter still went over there. As the morning went on, Kennedy's fever got worse, up to 103.2, so I went to get Carter. It turns out Kennedy has fifths disease. This is a super contagious childhood virus that lots of kids get. The problem, however, is that it can be harmful even deadly to a pregnant woman's fetus. Lisa and I are both pregnant. So I called the OB just to see if I needed to be concerned, and they said yes, we needed to do a blood test to see if I have an "active" virus, if so they would be monitoring the baby very closely from here on out. There is nothing they can "do" if I do have it, but watch and wait.

I'm really not THAT concerned, but obviously it's in my head. I was in daycare growing up, so I am sure i was exposed to it at some point. Here's hoping I built up an immunity to it.
