29-6-2009 - Week 9

My mood while writing this blog:
Fine & dandy!

Well, we've made it to week 9. Every new week seems like a hurdle I have jumped and conquered. I'm in an exeptional mood today for some reason, and as you all know, during pregnancy any change is a cause for concern! Up until now I have been feeling quite down, and not my usual happy self. I think I've been filled with so much trepidation that it's just dampened my whole mood lately.

I'm really hungry at the moment. I have been snacking all day; and although I've been REALLY good eating fruit, health bars, salad roll for lunch......... my friend on Twitter mentioned that he baked a chocolate cake and that was it! I HAD to have a piece of chocolate cake! I'm at work, so it's into the car I go and off to the shops to get some. I tell ya, it was GOOOD. Normally after eating lunch, fruit and then a slice of cake I would be feeling pretty stuffed, but for some reason I feel fine.

I have no signs of morning sickness at all. None. I wish I were sick, because although being sick is horrible it's also reassuring! My boobs are a little tender. I'm sure some of you are feeling a little pot belly coming on, but as I'm a chubby girl, all I feel is fatter. I've been having some fleeting cramps in my tummy. Fingers crossed that it's just growing pains.

I've been very tired, but as I've been getting 9 to 10 hours sleep a night, It's not effecting things much. I've been more lazy than anything, not wanting to cook dinner when I get home, or do the housework on the weekend. I don't think my house has ever been so dusty!! The poor dog hasn't been walked in days!

I'm finding it so hard to concentrate on ANYTHING, especially at work, but I think that's mostly because I can't think of anything other than the baby growing inside me!

Hoping and praying for a sticky, sticky baby!! Hang in there champ, and hold on tight!

Love Tanya.

Try not to worry! Think positive! I have had horrible nausea since week 5. Everyday this week it has eased up in the morning, but returned in time for lunch. Yuck! I've been so tired. I slept like 12 hours last night. Of course I got up 6 times to pee, but I fell right back asleep. I've only been doing very minimal housework and cooking. My husband is very understanding. Hang in there! We'll all hang in there. Take it one day at a time... sometimes one hour at a time. =) Sticky baby dust!!!!

I understand how your feeling - when I'm feeling down, I try and think of something else or try and keep busy, which lately doesn't seem to be too hard between a husband that works night shift, me day shift and an 8yr which has a better social life than me and the dog, it's great to get 5mins peace.
I'm sure i use the pregnancy as an excuse to do what i want to do eating, lack of house work although i always do the minimum and the bits that you see (downstairs).
I wish I had morning sickness too just to reassure me, but i get that from knowing on Monday i've got my dr's appointment and he'll hopefully tell me all is fine. Then we'll have a chat about cvs which i still have to decide what to do as i would be booked in the following week. It's also reassuring that my boobs are tender. I've come to the conclusion if I'm not double over in pain and there's no sign of blood everything else is normal.
As for tiredness that's normal i imagine but it hasn't helped the last two nights there's been thunderstorms and last night's one felt as if it was the end of the world.
I'm sure we'll both be alright and have healthy babies, just try and stay positive and don't let things get on top of you.

Hey! Gosh i can totally understand everything u have written there! Seriously i have been eating soooo much and it never seems to fill that hole, and i must add it has not been as healhy as u lol the tiredness is terrible, i just want to nap! Dont stress baout the pains, its most probably just stretching of the ligaments making room for baby, i had them really bad with my first and went to doc about them and he just said that. The morn sickness (well all day sickness really) is shit, i really hope it passes soon! Its great to read about how excited you are! Just wait till u feel it move, thats THE most amazing feeling and something that only mums can experiance! Take care chicky!!
