End of week six

Well I have made it through another week although my body has had it's ups and downs. Friday, I basically over did it and paid for it on Saturday by having a weird tight stomach and an out of body feeling in my head. Enough that Dom had to take Meg shopping and then dig the garden alone. This is frustrating for me as I love getting my garden ready for the Summer season. However, Dom did a fab job and didn't get frustrated hardly at all! Major break through, considering it's gardening as well! This continued into Sunday morn. I was feeling much better by then and was allowed to do a little pruning. We then did an afternoon of garden centres buying lots of lovely fresh new herbs and two types of passion flowers.

Yesterday I was back to feeling crap again and didn't even have to do anything. I summoned the energy to take Meg to her swimming lessons but quite frankly she wasn't in the mood to do as she was instructed.

I think I have felt a lot more worried and paranoid with this pregnancy but luckily I have been to the docs today and I feel 100% more confident. He is doing all these tests for me as I have an underactive thyroid and am showing signs of it getting worse. I am permanently freezing! I will also be having regular UTI tests as they were the bain of my life during the last pregnancy. In all the questions I put to the Doc, I forgot to get my due date, although I know it is around the 20th October.

This pregnancy is certainly very different compared to the last but luckily I have only had a few minute bouts of morning sickness.....in the middle of the night! I am feeling very, very tired and sometimes extremely ratty, especially with Meg. I do apologise to her after though.

Well, I am off to my cookery class tonight where I am making a roasted hazelnut and bitter chocolate cake! Oooh, forgot to say, Dom and I are booked in for a 9 week course in jive dancing, starting in March! Can't wait! Hope the baby won't mind.

Take care x x x x
