26 weeks today!

Today was a bit of shocker for me . I don’t think I have felt this sick in a long time. I woke up feeling like always...sick (with my daily vomit); but of late it has been getting much better during the course of the day (often with the help of Zofran). Today, I had one sip of orange juice, went to make some crackers (ate one) and then I thought – I feel really ill . OK I will take a Zofran now and hopefully it will kick in ASAP...nothing happened! Meanwhile, I started to feel green, and my face was turning white – there goes my OJ and cracker. From then on, it was like the good old days – that I long to forget.

It also happens that today being a Monday, Byron was home with me. We had made some plans today; nothing special but plans all the same. There was no way I was going anywhere. I ended up having to go and lie down in bed. Byron was a good little cherub and sat in bed with me for 2 hours watching the Playhouse Disney channel.

Trevor offered to come home, but in then end he rang his mum who took Byron to her place for a few hours this afternoon – hopefully he could run off some much needed energy. Meanwhile, I decided I wasn’t going to feel this crap for much longer and decided to pop another Zofran (there goes another $12!). This one seemed to do what it was supposed to and I started to feel a little bit better – enough to cook Trevor and Byron some dinner – enough to eat something myself.

Fingers crossed, things won’t start again on that down hill slide; a slide I thought I may have been slowly conquering!

I have finally reached that point in my pregnancy where I feel somewhat safe; that the baby, if born now, would have a good chance of survival. Although, fingers crossed she doesn’t want to make an entrance anytime soon (NB: if your listening Lily – 10 weeks from now is fine!).

At the moment, she is weighing in at a little less than 2 pounds (907 grams). Measuring her from top to toe (with her legs extended), she is about 35 centimetres. Apparently she still looks wrinkly but will continue to gain weight steadily until birth. She was a real wriggly worm today – I guess I noticed it more spending so much time in bed!

As for me, I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow and I will get my ‘vital statistics’ – ie weight – then. Lets, just say I am feeling quite frumpy at the moment.

OMG as I write this entry, Byron is quiet (yes quiet) and possibly asleep in bed - already. I say this in excitement because the last few days have been quite difficult on the sleep front.

On a funny note, his new thing to say when he is getting into trouble is "your not my friend anymore" . Oh one last thing...Trevor informed me that Byron had told Poppy (FIL) that he was the adult and poppy had to do what he was told . Lets just say Poppy wasn't impressed.
