I've been off the radar for some time which, in part, was due to the fact that my Internet has been down and I've also been away. But here I am!
I've become a bit of a lump that sits on a couch all day feeling sick, emotional and shattered. No kidding, the constant nausea, which I am told by all and sundry is a 'good sign', is pretty waring and I'm only 10 days in to the sickness stage... it could well last another 7 weeks or more. Eek.
This, of course, makes it difficult to eat all of the good stuff that I am supposed to be consuming at this time. Dairy and fruit and veg are the last think I want to eat as they make me want to put my head in the toilet but I'm supposed to be consuming 5-6 portions of dairy and 5 or more portions of fruit and veg a day. I reckon I'd be lucky if I was getting half that at the moment - thank god for Pregnacare multivitamins!
Having said that, I did have lunch with someone at the weekend who vomited non-stop for the first 14 weeks so I'm not doing TOO badly. Hmm... let's hope it stays that way!
Monday is the day of my first scan. Very nervous. I am assuming everything is okay as I have all the positive signs, but you never can tell. I've heard all the horror stories so I'm prepared for anything. We will also find out if it is one 'bean' or two. I'm clearly hoping for one but we'll take what we get and as long as they are healthy and in one piece we'll be over the moon.
As ever, watch this space.
