A little addition

It took me 3 holidays to get over the emotional trauma of losing the baby earlier last year. In July 2011, I took the plunge again and was rewarded with positive news! Positive news were followed with countless visits to the hospital as I was spotting from early weeks. Seriously, why does it have to be so difficult?? I really thought it was another goner.

The spotting finally stopped in Week 7. What followed were however months of misery. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis. It meant I could not work and was literally bed-bounded. I am so thankful to have an understanding boss. I stayed away from office for nearly 2.5mths and lost 8kg! Not surprising when I could not even swallow water without puking it straight out. Some lucky ones suffer from just 3 weeks of MS, my puking persisted till I was 24 weeks along. Once I could eat, I piled back the weight! To date, I put back 12kg but given i lost 8kg, it's just 4kg that i gained. Phew!

I am 35 weeks along today. It is fascinating to feel the little one move everyday. Honestly, I am not prepared. On one hand, I cannot wait to see the little one, on the other, i cannot imagine how our lives will change. It will be exciting times ahead.
