Tuesday's curse maybe???

Well I was feeling a little blah when I woke up this morning, managed to eat a banana and get some milk down with the pills...got to work and then everything came back up again. Seems last time I was worshiping the toilet was last Tuesday as well so maybe there is something with that?

Man will this morning sickness ever start to subside?! Very tired this morning so that doesn't help, woke up at 3:30 am and had a really hard time going back to sleep then it was time to get up /sigh. I probably should have just stayed in bed longer...but well hard to justify it when the only thing really wrong with me is I'm pregnant...

Another week another bout of nausea

Week 11 and starting off the same as the last few weeks with the same old feeling first thing in the morning. Man I really hope next week when I hit week 12 I might start to feel a bit more normal again. I'm also wishing at this point I could skip ahead the next 5 mths so I can finally take vacation! In an attempt to not loose out too much income I'm saving up all my vacation till my maternity leave. It kinda sucks tho as other than a day off this year so far and a few sick days I won't have had any time off again for almost another full year.

But the more vacation I can save up for the maternity leave the easier it will be financially. I think I'm owed almost three weeks vacation anyway as I really have taken much time off in the last well it will be three years almost by the time I do go on vacation. I'm hoping I can convince my boss that really I am owed about three weeks at the moment vacation...two this year and at least one more weeks worth which I haven't taken in the last 2 years I've worked here. Family leave is pretty brutal you have to have worked at a company for at least 5 years before you get an extra week...then again China you have even less perks than the US.

Ah well I can wish at least.

Week 10 and worshiping the porcelain god...

Just entered week 10, had some spotting blood over the weekend which had me a little concerned so I moved up the OBGYN visit to Monday from Wednesday. Dr took a good look at each of the little bundles of joy...heartbeats are strong, both babies are right on target for size at 10 weeks and she couldn't find any obvious reason for the spotting no tears etc. She did say it was 'old' blood which I had noticed being that it was a lot darker and said really not to worry too much and was possibly from when the placentas attached to the womb, since I've been there the spotting has more or less stopped now.

Course this morning was going just great until after my shower and when I promptly ended up over the toilet not that there was anything in my stomach but I guess it wanted to heave anyway. After which I actually felt somewhat better so I shared an apple with James took my pills and left for work. Got to work and the apple promptly ended coming back up again.../sigh. Stomach has been feeling unsettled ever since but I did manage to eat some bread and hold it down.

Bit of advice I've learnt from today tho, keep a spare pare of undies handy, lets just say vomiting can have some unforeseen effects.

I'm less worried these days and the effects of the MS medication I was taking during the very early stages of this pregnancy. There is so little information and research out there on the effects of rebiff on the fetus that I'm more or less in no man's land, although from everything I've seen I think it's going to be ok.

I have a perinatal consultation this week, and week after next I look forward to the first trimester screenings.

I can also say I am not really enjoying being pregnant a whole lot...the tiredness, the nausea...the vomitting. Thank goodness I probably won't carry full term! I guess having twins can be a small blessing :)

Yuck will I ever feel normal again?!

Ok so the nausea continues.../sigh it's not as bad as it was but it's certainly still there. Definitely starting to get more than a bit tired of it. I guess I'm into my 9th week now, crazy...I'm doing what I can to watch the sugar and salt intake going to try to do some exercise this week.

Oh James's car didn't start this morning just to make Monday morning's fun he thinks it's a dead battery so with a bit of luck he can take care of that today. Taxes were finished yesterday (man I hope it's not as bad next year, then again we should have 2 kids to help hehe).

For some reason I'm extremely tired this morning, shame I can't have a cup of tea to help, but the less caffiene I can consume the better, not just because of the risk of miscarriage but also because of the hypertension. It sucks! Bring back mah tea /sob.

3 more weeks and I'm out of the first trimester and over the worst of the high risk period for a miscarriage although something tells me I don't think that's likely to happen anyway.

I've been slacking...

I know I haven't made a post here in awhile but it seemed about time. So the last few months have been a crazy ride. I've had the flu, recovered from the flu, then well found out I am pregnant. Then to top it all we had the first ultra sound scan yesterday and well it seems at the moment I'm expecting twins! Holy moly! Just when we were getting used to the idea of having a new addition to the family and along comes another curve ball.

The little ones were conceived pretty much on Valentine's day. Due date is November 15th, although something tells me that will change.

So right now I'm 8 weeks and 3 days. I've had almost a month of constant nausea (not fun I can tell you). This is going to be a high risk pregnancy so we have a long ways to go. I am overweight, I have hypertension and now I have twins.

Oh boy!
