I’ve been following local H1N1 news closely and I won’t hide the fact that I’m quite worried about it. Seems to me everyday, the news is reporting one or two H1N1-related death. Being pregnant makes me high-risk and that is especially worrying.

Even though we are suppose to move into our new home in Oct, we’ve decided to do so much earlier. Preferrably by middle of August, just 2 more weeks to go. The house we’re staying now is occupied by my in-laws and grandmother. They go out every single day without fail. Of course, I can’t tell them to remain home as much as possible. Neither would they be bothered about H1N1, I can tell you. So us moving out is the best solution I guess.

My husband started cleaning the house yesterday. Scrubbing the living room floor and ceiling. That alone took him 4 hours. It’s going to be a long and tedious task as most of the time, he’ll be alone with no one helping him out. Also we’ll be replacing the toilet bowls and installing an air-conditioner in one of the bedrooms by end of the week.

We have also bought some N95 masks as I’ll be scheduled to visit my OB-Gyn fortnightly for the next two months. His clinic is in a private specialists hospital which IMO makes wearing an N95 pretty much compulsory.

It’s a scary time to be pregnant these days.
