Sorry I have been such a slack blogger! Quite simply, I really haven't had much of interest to report! I had a wonderful Christmas with family and the MS buggered off long enough for me to have a nausea free day and eat to my hearts content, which I may have done too well as Boxing Day was a disaster! I felt so ill again and vomited my heart out (and probably most of Christmas lunch) and felt pretty darn miserable. BUT it only lasted one day and the last few have been great (phew!) on that front. I think it might actually be starting to go away which is such a relief. I know it probably irks to have someone who is pregnant and should be embracing all that comes with it including the miserable reality of MS moaning about it, but I have since learnt that it is difficult to embrace something that takes over your life and makes you feel so miserable. Having said that though, I certainly appreciate the fact that I am pregnant! I am a few days away from the second trimester now (currently 13w3d) and super excited to jump into the next part of this pregnancy and out of the critical danger zone. I don't think I am ever going to fully relax until this baby is in my arms though.
I have spent the past few days really relaxing and not doing much at all except a bit of housework but it's been good and probably what my body has been craving. God knows I couldn't wait till work had finished so I could just have a break and put my feet up. Now though I am starting to get a little restless and should really tackle the spare bedroom (AKA the nursery to be) and start clearing it out but it is such a daunting task that I am procrastinating like crazy! It is currently our spare bedroom aka the HG's fishing/diving/surf gear storage room. Problem is we only have a 2 bedroom house and no storage (we don't have a garage and can't afford to build one at this time) so the task ahead of me is almost impossible. We really need to figure something out and soon. Not only that but I accumulated so much stuff when my mum died that was precious to her but I personally don't know what to do with it all. So many beautiful linens (she was really into her luxury and antique type stuff) that you couldn't possibly actually use it as it's far too nice so it sits in drawers untouched. Also scrap books of her gardens, craft ideas etc that she pored over and spent hours on that are of no interest to me particularly but I feel disloyal to part with. So hard. Anyway, I will procrastinate another day and worry about it tomorrow!
Oh, and a little birdie mentioned on their blog that next year is the Year of the Rabbit so I have a good feeling about 2011 and the remainder of my friends getting their long awaited BFP's!! Bring it on!
I totally hear ya on the MS front.. it is starting to subside for me too, finally!! We also have a 2 bedroom and my husband uses it to store his neverending supply of clothes! Let me know if you come up with any good storage ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the organizing! I am sure you will come up with some really smart way of putting it all away! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletecould you hire a storage unit for all your stuff... HG can go via the unit when he needs his gear and your mums stuff can sit there a bit longer until you feel ready to do something with it... can i add that if you have a pink bundle, some of that linen you can bear to use, could be *shock* cut up and made into some amazing dresses for your little miss...
ReplyDeleteThe first trimester is just so exhausting, along with the MS coming and going. Rest up all you can! :) It's good you gave your body a break.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to get rid of items with such sentimental value. Hope you get the second trimester buzz soon that gives you the energy to tackle the nursery-to-be.
