5 Sleeps to go

Am so sorry for the absence and if I have worried anyone, have just taken some time out to try and focus.

It is 5 sleeps now till I have my scan and although I said I was going to relax, I am starting to stress and worry a little.

I mean I still have all good signs, really sore boobs, constant nausea (still no throwing up yet but have been close to it a couple of times), poor sleeping, lots of trips to the loo and the constant fidgeting I get when I am pregnant. This is about 95% more symptoms than I had last time but still I can't help but continually think about Friday afternoon.

We have now told our parents and my brother over in Sydney (he is feeling very lonely and depressed over there so he is coming home next week) and Pete's cousin Becky knows too as she is my best friend (she has 4 weeks to go till her bub arrives).

I started feeling so ill that I stopped walking about Wednesday last week and have felt even more rotten since so must start doing that again, as it did make me feel good when I went, I just didn't want to risk having to throw up as I was walking but the feeling isn't easing up at all so must move on.

Went to my gym last week and told them what is going on and they said that if I feel I can't use my membership while I am pregnant, I can pay $5.50 and have it frozen for six months. Then I can come back and have it frozen for another 3 months and then I can start using it again and have almost my full 12 months after the baby is born, so am looking at doing that today.

Foodwise, am having problems at the moment. Trying to eat as best I can but there are days like last night where I couldn't even stomach the thought of eating tea. So I have changed from just taking my folate pills, to taking a supplement which has my full daily dose of folate plus other vitamins and omega 3 and other things vital for bubby that I might not be supplying. They are expensive $21 a month but worth it as far as I'm concerned.

This is my last week working full time. I tell you I did it last week and I was exhausted by Wednesday. It's not just the working but running around getting Bethany to school, shopping, cleaning and cooking on top. I can't wait till this week is over and I go back to part time, although I am dreading telling my boss about my condition. When they told me that she was expecting in August, they wanted me to take over full time while she was gone. I did say that I wouldn't be able to do it as Bethany would still be at school but I said maybe they could get another part timer and we could share the job. Now they are going to have to get someone in August to work part time and a part timer for me when I go or someone to start part time in August and become full time when I leave. I know it's their problem, not mine, but they won't be happy about it.

OK enough dribble from me today. I just had to get all these thoughts out in the open. Here's looking forward to a good week and an outstanding Friday (fingers crossed).
