Morning Nausea & B's Book

Well today I am officially 7 weeks pregnant and as a gift from Herbert I got... 

Morning Nausea! 

Morning Nausea is not be confused with Morning Sickness (which we will not be suffering with).

It appeared when I was getting dressed this morning and then it reappeared when I went to have a mouthful of cereal. 

I had to put the bowl down.

Take a couple of mouthfuls of water. 

And a few big deep breaths... 

I felt hot, bloated and queasy... 

Queasy - I've always liked that word, it's wonderfully onomatopoeic.  I feel queasy - like being squished and turned upside down and shaken a couple of times.

Queasy...

Anyway, B read to me last night, while he was in the bath.  This involved me perching on the toilet seat lid and  trying to get comfy.  He read to me from the book about Fatherhood I bought him and it had a very apt description of the exhaustion I am currently feeling... 

Crippling tiredness.

I am

Crippled 

With 

Tiredness.

So tired... I've said to B a couple of times - did you think this was going to effect me as much as it has... 

He said...

"Not so much" 

I have to agree. 

There's a lot of work in baking Herbert!
