So I Keep Getting Asked For Belly Pics

Posted on by

Which I would be happy to supply, only our digital camera died on us while we were in Tuscany.

However, Simon pointed out this morning that we have a Flip, which you can pull single shots from.  So we’ll do a photo shoot this weekend and see what we get!  Because the ‘OMG how much pizza did you eat girl?’ has most definitely turned into ‘OMG there’s a baby in there!!’

In other news, 8 more hours and I’m off for 2 weeks.  During those two weeks I will be: –

  1. Going to In-Laws for 5 days for Christmas
  2. Clearing out the closet in what will be the baby’s room, to see if I can organize it better
  3. Clearing out the closet in the guest room, ditto above re organization
  4. Sleeping
  5. Shopping
  6. Eating nice things
  7. Sleeping
  8. Sleeping
  9. Running to the loo every 2 minutes

What’s everyone else’s plans for the holiday period?

  1. When you sneeze, the muscles across your bump pull.  So you sound like this: ACHOO OUCH!!
  2. Even early in pregnancy, the loo is your friend.
  3. Your lower back will hurt from practically day one.
  4. You become the Queen of Burps (TM).
  5. Worrying starts from the moment you get the positive HPT.  And apparently never goes away.
  6. Morning sickness can last all.day.long.
  7. Your skin gets so dry you should really buy stock in Body Shop for their Shea Butter.
  8. Except on your face.  The pregnancy glow is actually oily skin which leads to
  9. More spots than you’ve had since you were 15.

Had A Good Saturday

Haircut.  Shopping.  Lunch.  Nap.

At least once every festive season, Simon and I take advantage of 4 for 3 on party food at M&S and have ‘nibbles’ night.  That night is tonight.  We have assorted indian chicken, assorted chineese dumplings, assorted shrimp toast things and mini-pizza.  YUMMY!

Had a hypo while in town.  Even after eating two breakfasts.  Good excuse to buy chocolate coins at Boots!

So, Yesterday I Was 12 Weeks

Posted on by

So one more week and officially out of the first Trimester.  Too bad I’m still feeling nauseous a lot.  And exhausted.  And in a new symptom, slightly heartburnish.  Yay!

Wacky numbers from yesterday have evened out, so that was apparently just a fluke day.

I got my Christmas box from my dad today.  I wonder what’s in it?

Huh.

If you had held a gun to my head and asked me if I took my hat and gloves with me when I left the office, I would have said yes.  And you would have shot me for lying.

When I got in this morning, there they were, on my desk.  Huh.

In other interesting news, I received an email today from the assistant to the PA of a CEO.  Since I am the PA to a CEO I asked if I could have an assistant.  I was told no.  Mean bosses.

In other other interesting news, the hypos are getting very old.  But do give me an excuse to eat a bit more than usual!

Saw Endo Today

Insulin being increased, cuz my morning numbers are a bit high.  That was about it.

Had my first hypo at work today.  That was fun.  I keep juice in the fridge there, so I was fine in a few minutes.

And I lost my favorite hat and my gloves today!  No idea when or where.  I am so bummed!  And its frickin’ freezing!

First Day Back To Work

Posted on by

and it was okay.  I was nauseaous pretty much all day, which was less than fun, but I made it through without hurling, which is fab!

Totally exhausted and probably heading to bed around 9!

I think I can make it through the next two weeks and then I’m on holiday for the following two weeks!

Gotta love the end of the year!
