It's all good

Yes, I am still around. I have been really, REALLY ill with morning sickness over the last week. It grew so bad that Monday I couldn't go to work and found it really hard just to stand. Did my first run to the loo for that all anticipated throw up and then collapsed while mum looked after Bethany.

So once Pete came home I went to the chemist to get some accupressure wristbands that I had read about in one of my pregnancy magazines.


They have like a plastic ball that sits on your pressure points on the inside of your wrist to stop nausea. I put them straight on and within about half hour felt 100% better. I managed to go home, cook dinner and do some cleaning.

Yesterday I put them on before I got out of bed and wore them all day. I didn't feel sick once, just hungry. I took them off early yesterday evening and felt ill within an hour. I can't believe what a difference they make. And if you do start to feel ill, you just push the balls a little to increase the pressure and it makes it go away.

I said to mum that if they keep working so well, I might be able to start walking again. How good would that be?

Unfortunately, they don't get rid of needing to pee, yucky tastes in my mouth, dizziness, tiredness, certain smell adversions and everything else I am feeling. But hey if they could do all that, they would be a miracle.

Weightwise, I was reading in my magazine last night (told you I read too much) about your weekly progress while pregnant. I says "at about 12 weeks that you may have gain 1.7kg by now". Well I am 8 weeks and am now 83.4kg, a total gain of 3.1kg. Not good. But if I can start walking again, it may just slow the increase.

Last Sunday was the day of my annual 5kg walk around the river for charity. It is the first time in 3 years I haven't done it and quite missed it. But ce la vi, I can do it next year.

Well that's enough dribble from me. Just letting you all know that now that I am starting to feel better (touch wood) I will try to improve my updating and get in touch with you all again. I haven't even had the energy to turn the computer on, let alone sitting upright and reading so am trying to catch up with all your journals over the next couple of days.
