Can't eat can't sleep....(Not for the faint of heart)

Yesterday was horrific for me as I spent half the night awake with pukey feeling. After I got a few hours nap. I got up with the same pukey feeling. I couldn't eat anything that smelled more than paper. Even Nemu being 10 meters too close caused some problems. Stinky armpits in the elevator was another thing that got me barfing in the snow while walking Nemu. I manage to hold it all the way to the park. Oh joy! <__< People must think I'm drunk.

In the morning I had one grape!!! That was fantastic...the second one didn't go in :/. I tried oranges...blegh...Pears...blegh....Apples...blegh....Then I called me mum to complain. She said try to eat anything (just like the doctor said) so I tried peanut butter. That stayed quite well so I got adventuress and decided I'll cook one MAMA brand instant porridge....The rest...erm well...didn't go so well... <_<. Let's just say I spent this day hanging my head over the sink or the toilet bowl. What a sexy position! <__<

I'm happy that dear Tony will hijack Nemu for a week :). This may save my poor nose a little. I'm hoping that I will be able to eat more today. My food aversion stopped around 22:30 last night when things stayed in. After the doctors, we went to fuel, then I ran into the video rental store to get some gummy candies and an Ice Tea. I took a sip of the Ice Tea for fear that it might go out in the car O_O. Also one or two gummy candies! So far so good. Then we went for a pizza at Jumbo, I couldn't eat more than 2/5. I manage to hold the pizza in until I got home then wasted about 1/4 of what I ate. I thought not a bad amount at least most of the pizza stayed. Then I finally decided to take a sip of mango/apple juice. Also took one of my multivitamin pills with the juice. So far everything stayed until I brushed my teeth. Half of the liquids came out. Sigh...I was depressed...so I went to bed after brushing all the stomache acid away again....

Let's hope today's a better day as I'm meeting the baka bunch for Little Christmas Dinner :).

The tire had to blow...now.... -___-

What an exciting day to have a blown tire in the highway... Luckily I wasn't driving and wasn't alone at that point. If not I wouldn't have known what a preggie lady could do :/. I'm all out of whim and energy and yet I cannot sleep. This is starting to bother my work performance. I have to find the energy somehow to keep going. I'm hoping this new project will bring new meaning to me :). Baby's behaving like a baby should at this point, keeping me awake at nights and making me a zombie all day through.... Anyways I'm hoping that I'll finally nod off and fall asleep. I'm still having the slight nauseas feeling that I cannot seem to kick off. If this doesn't stop soon I need to visit the Doc to ask what on earth is wrong with me.

That's me over and out!

PEANUT'S FIRST PHOTO SHOOT!

I know I know...Nothing much to see but for the first time I saw life! Peanut had a heartbeat and it looked sooo cuuuuuute! (Yeah every parent says that :P) It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! (Alien-y and big headed blob for now) Soon it'll have buds for arms and so on...It's really exciting!!!! :D I'll update in 2 weeks when I get a new mugshot.

A Heartbeat!

What an amazing thing to witness!!! It brought tears to my eyes. I was a bit pessimistic going in thinking there will be nothing but just my imagination but when I saw the heartbeat...all doubt has been erased...Now I need to take good care of myself and just live normally and do some minor exercises to keep fit. I think I can do it...although some days it feels a bit tougher when you barely sleep at night. Nemu on the other hand has been quite curious with the changes, I suspect she knows alot or at least feels alot. It's hard to read the little one....Will post more later ^___^

Over and out!

Peanut Tracker....

Okay, so it's not such a great name for a kid but at this point he/she will be called 'Peanut'...at least to me. My husband begs to disagree with such preposterous name. It's my ticker and I shall name it however I want! Tee hee hee! I've had a slightly hard time charting this so I'm getting confuzzled as we go along. I'll get a clearer view on when I'm actually due so I can make changes to the ticker. In the mean time...Peanut is growing...slowly and steadily just as long as cranky mum doesn't do stupid stunts.

Long time no post?

Heh...Sorry for not blogging in a while...I've been battling all sorts of issues that I did not have time to write this... I found out that I'm preggers! Hooray for me! Oh no wait....but then again we're not sure if this one's a keeper... Oh well... I'm happy and I'm trying my best not to do any extreme sports so that the little chipper will stay. I'm going for my first preview of the "Peanut" in 2-3 weeks. It's so exciting I cannot wait! What will it look like? hmmmmm?
