Things are just ticking along.


I am still suffering with exhaustion which gets me down - feel bad that I have sleeps and don't have much energy to do things, feel like im letting people down. I also get daily headaches which I hate - nothing worse than a constant fuzz in the head! But all in all preggie wise I have been ok - there is a girl in my due group who is still having regular hospital admissions as she can't hold anything down and is dehydrated constantly, must be so hard!!!


Still looking around at the shops getting ideas on what bubs will need. Have tried out some buggies and chosen which one we will get - its nice and light and easy for me to use which is what I need. Doesn't have the ability to have another seat added to it but we decided that if we were blessed to have another bubba we will worry about a double pram then, for now will just look at my needs which is the Mountain Buggy swift... can't wait to get it! We have put the cot up in the baby room, looks great!!! Can't wait to get the rest of the room sorted... exciting!!!


On Saturday I did a fasting glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes as im at risk of this. I had heard things about these tests, how gross they are. It wasn't too bad - just quite sweet which is hard to drink when I had not eaten for so long. Will hopefully get results soon.


Following this we went out for breakfast - I was hanging out to eat, particularly bacon!! Got to the restaurant, ordered my food... and got served a chop!!! I was like "im not eating that", I felt like crying cos all I wanted was bacon! My hubby gave me one of his rashers and was going to have the chop but he couldn't cut it.... turns out it was raw on the inside!!! Eeww!!! I complained of course, raw meat to anyone is fowl but giving it to a preggie lady is definately not ok.


Since Saturday afternoon I have not been feeling well. Naturally I started worrying that it was related to my breakfast experience as all the food was stacked on top of each other (could have contaminated it??) but went to the GP today and they seem to think its just morning sickness rearing again.... even though I said I felt it was different to the other illness I had had. So I guess I will have to try and not worry and believe that all is ok with our baby... please please please be ok.
