That sickening feeling

Image
As i type this i am in bed on a Sunday morning And if you no me well you will no that's just not me, i hate blobbing in bed wasting the day away. But today i have no choice my sickness has got the better of me. I was feeling much better and enjoying my 2nd Pregnancy having passed that horrid sickly first 9wks but low and behold the sickness has come back. As much as Ive tried to not let it affect me and carry on with my daily routine and do all the fun mummy things today it has me beat. I feel yuck an awful taste in my mouth teamed with gagging every few minutes and feeling rather dizzy and achy. I haven't been sleeping at all well catching just a few short hours a night even though i am so tired i cant sleep and it is becoming very frustrating. I wonder if this is still just (Morning sickness) or whether i have caught some kind of bug. Trying to get my dinner down last night was not a goer and as i write this the thought of it makes me gag. There was nothing wrong with the me

The Decision

With the decision having been made brings lots of questions worries and thoughts about how this will all work. The decision being Having a baby in New Zealand not Australia. Lots of things made us decide New Zealand but the main reason is realistically its the only way it would work. I cant live in Roxby Downs from 36wks as we have no Midwife here and nobody or the equipment required if a problem arose. So then comes the thoughts well what about Adelaide but i don't no Adelaide very well and its from 36wks what if i was to go 2wks over my due date. I mean the expense is one thing the idea of a possible 6wks paying for an apartment would be through the roof. Then theres the what would i do? Mum would only be able to take 2wks off work and with Katie working full time that wouldn't work with her either. And i would need someone with me in case there was a need to get to hospital quickly or for my appointments at the hospital, So Aaliyah would need someone to watch her. So really

Pregnancy No 2

As i fastly approach the end of my First trimester of my second pregnancy i have a range of emotions. Part of me feels a big phew I'm glad i managed to get through this first part as i was so sick for the first 9 weeks. It wasn't just a morning sickness either it was a all day sickness, constantly feeling nauseous and so drained , Headaches,body aches everything.It was honestly like the worst hangover you could ever have but lasted for 9weeks straight. Its so bizarre how the body works and how each pregnancy is just so different as when i was pregnant with Aaliyah i never experienced sickness like this at all, i was mainly just really tired. The annoying part is i cant sleep i lay in bed for hours on end and quite often am lying awake still at 1-2am trying to finally get to sleep.The Dr said that this is common with pregnancy. Its so frustrating as your body is so so tired and your head is tired and you want to rest but just cant sleep.. Then there was the mix up with be

Summer in the Desert

Summer in Roxby Downs has been a real eye opener and something my body is not used to at all to say the least. Everyday the temperature sits on around 43 degrees and that is so so hot.Honestly imagine a very dry heat with no wind. You open your door and whoosh it just hits you, i find it quite hard to catch my breath outside but that could also be because of me being pregnant. The heat hardly drops overnight so basically there is no letting up its air con on 24/7.....And with the power being so expensive here i am scared to receive our power next week eeeeek.. With heat brings BUGS and lots of them Our house is over taken with xtra large Cockroach's, they are so huge i thought they were awful in Qld but there size difference here is unreal. There are so many different species of bugs flying around and the most are bizarre fluro reddy colours or huge bright blue Dragon flys. Spiders that's another big problem and red backs but you do get used to all of this and learn to accept i
