I suppose this blog should include good days as well as bad days. Crazy to think morning sickness pretty much kicked in immediately for me. I've never actually been sick yet, but there's a constant nausea. My appetite has gone (so unusual for me!) and I'm so damn exhausted all the time.
Today was pretty bad after the pavements and roads being drilled up all night outside my flat last night, I had the worst sleep. Followed by some pretty awful nights sleep previous to that. Drilling still going too so tonight could be worse!!
Got sent home from work today after a very bad dizzy spell, blind spots and flashing lights in my eyes. Could not understand what was going on or even string a sentence together. Thankfully Kenny came and got me and took me to the doctors. Good thing too as on the way my arm and face went totally numb. I burst into tears thinking I was having a stroke! Crazy.
The doctor thinks a mix of hormones, lack of food and sleep has contributed to a very strange and quick migraine. Thankfully it's passed. I also got prescribed anti-sickness tablets as I feelso nauseous all the time it's put me off my food. And my tests showed I'm ever so slightly starved of nutrition. Thankfully i've been taking folic acid and vitamins so that will ahve helped at least.
So, I got a 50 min nap before being woken up by more drilling and then managed to gather enough energy to do a shop. Got lots of healthy little cereal bars/raisins/fruit snacks to have on hand at all times. And I managed a bowl of fresh tomato soup, some bread and a pudding. Feel tons better for it.
Now....off to pee for the 298479847th time today. Joy! :o)

Test Time! This is just the beginning....
Well yesterday I took a test and although it said to wait 2 minutes...it changed to a definite positive within less than a second...so there we go. Terrified, excited, disbelief, worry, extreme happiness....everything filled my head at once.
Kenny wondered why I even wasted money on a test, apparently he knew for sure at least the day before I even took it! The symptoms were kind of obvious all arriving at once, but you don't seem to believe it until you've seen that proof!
We're shocked to say the least, it had been discussed but not this soon!! But it's happening now, and I suppose with the jobs, the flat, the relationship, everything is as good as it would ever be!
Told my mum (you're gonna be a granny!!) and it's the nicest feeling in the world having your mum support you in something like this. Douglas sent me the nicest text saying he was so proud of me. My friends Christine and Lucy have been great and so supportive. We visited Kenny's parents today too and they were thrilled. So it seems support from every direction possible. A handful of friends and family know, but I will wait until I've visited the doctors and everything before I spread the news. Jesus I wish I was 12 weeks already!
Need to register with a doctor and get an appointment on Monday, will be updating this as more happens! And eventually when there's things to see...I'll post pics too.
