Another day at work

I'm in a meeting...actually an info meeting that will last about an hour. So far all the information I receive have been decoded to 'blahblahblahblahblaaaaahblblablablablablablahablabee' I wonder if it's just me or is my brain just mushy today. Nevertheless, I'm trying to cope up with my mails...Thankfully only 20 at the moment...Not too many high flyers over the weekend.

I'm working from home today since I did not see a point to be at the office to be locked away in a meeting room the entire day. At least over here if I mute the phones and grab something to eat. It's a great compromise. Peanut has been a good boy/girl over the past few days although its kick still bothers me. For some reason I'm getting constant migraines...it comes and goes but it never fully goes away... :-/ I have this emulating hot sensation on my back that's causing aches but after a few days of that I'm starting to get use to it. All I can say is that I'm pretty broken to the core at the moment but I'm still doing 'cartwheels'. For some reason I feel normal... <_< If you can call being overly fat in the front normal.

I weighed myself again and to my surprise, I'm still the same weight as last week...huh? I've been eating much more and much better...It's not possible to stay the same weight with the baby's water bag growing and weight increasing... I'm either seeing things or I should throw the machine out the window.

My dear hubby on the other hand has been really stretched out at work...He's been getting headaches that linger for days and after taking an elephant dose of painkillers then it went away. The problem is, it doesn't stay away for long, it comes back after a day and in worse case scenarios it comes back after a few hours of work. I think his blood pressure has risen and I urged him to see the doctor to get some shut eye. It pains me to watch him suffer like that and still try to carry on. For now I feel like super mega mum since I'm up and about with pains that murmur in the back just like a mosquito in summer. I'm not so to say rearranging the nest since we are moving 'soon'. I'm still cleaning up pretty much without bending or climbing too much.

I found that some of the detergents I use irritate my nose so I have to avoid using them at the moment and just use regular hot hot water to clean up. The grimes don't go away so easily but if that's the case I hold my breath and squirt a few, wipe, run to the window and exhale and inhale frantically. Nemu has been a gracious dog....she hasn't caused me much trouble indoors (at least). I'm still iffy about the fact that she gets over excited over babies. So I'm planning a sort of play area for Nemu so that she doesn't come near the baby unsupervised. My 24 weeks tally is almost up (tomorrow) and I'll be counting down 24 weeks +1 day the day after tomorrow. Heading boldly into my 25th week. So far the journey has had its ups and downs. The downside was memorably tough but the up side was surprisingly enjoyable. He/she is not such a bad little one, it doesn't really know what it's doing inside, just wanting to find a comfy spot to sleep isn't being rebellious. It also gets up and jiggle and samba here and there. I mean you can't possibly sleep the entire time, I know I couldn't even if I'm dead exhausted.

So in theory I only have about 2 months and 1 week before I go on maternity leave. I'm feeling liberated and free :). Although not too free yet since I have a big project going on I have to start and get it to handover condition before I leave. In the meantime, back to listening to the 'blablablablablaaas' hopefully there is something I'll catch so that my time spent won't be too useless after all.

Cheerios! ^__^

My poor Nemu

Nemu had to go to the dentist at the vets and this is the first time she's ever needed to get sedated for an operation. They discovered she has tonsillitis and on top of that her teeth were so bad they had to sand it down and remove all the dental plague and stones, she also had bacterial infection on the gums but that was minor... They wanted to sedate her for longer but I guess after convincing them it was only so that they could do just enough for Nemu. She's still strange today, who can blame her. She had an IV drip on the left paw and was still weak last evening that peeing was difficult as she couldn't get to her pee stance not to mention walking straight <_<. I'll bet my neighbors thought Nemu had one drink too many at the pub.

Today Nemu's better however she's still not fully herself. She took her first 1/2 tablet of antibiotics and tried to cheat... <_< She ate all her yummy food while cleverly avoiding the pill but I caught her so I forced it down her throat...not a nice picture but someone's got to do it. She didn't put up much fight...she doesn't normally anyways...

All in all she's been rather baby-ish today and was whining a little...She fell asleep on the couch but awoken to a terrible nightmare...It shocked me cause she was half asleep and was tearing the couch into bits and pieces with her claws...Oh well...Now we have Nemu's claw marks all over the couch, thankfully the material is 'rather' strong but still it now looks incredibly horrible...Anyways a short video of her before and after operation.

Horrid pain in the ribcage :S

Okay... I'm going to be a b*atch and complain now about this stabbing pain on my left rib cage just underneath the breast...It feels like someone has done a yiihaw and a flying flippin' kick on my ribs and now I'm left with nothing but this sharp pain that makes it difficult to breathe. What makes it worse is that I have this lingering cough that doesn't seem to go away. So everytime I clear my throat I feel like my ribs are going to explode or crack. Oh yeah! It's fun to be pregnant, so everytime someone asks how I feel...I swear one day I am not going to be able to control my hormones and things will start flying out of my mouth and it will begin to sound something like this... "I'm friggin' pregnant you helmet hut, my belly's the size of a watermelon and probably weighs as much as one, my back started to intergrate some new pain receptors, my face is like an exploding volcano of pimples, my ribs are shattered on top of that I can barely breathe and I feel hungry even when I'm full! so what do you think I feel <_<..."

The person would probably freeze on the spot staring blankly at me for about 10 secs and go "Oooooookay...have a nice day...." and run for the hills. I'm normally cranky but the pains that won't just go away makes me even more cranky. I have made a goal for myself tonight...It's to sleep and not be waken...let's see if I achieve this with a bladder the size of a grape <_<.
