We have good news and we have bad news.
The good news is that my pregnancy symptoms have hit big time. This is obviously a good sign. And they're right on schedule, which is another good sign. The only other time (other than Bella) that I've got this far along (how can it still only be 6 weeks! This is already the longest pregnancy ever) I had hardly any symptoms. However, these symptoms are just like the ones I had with Bella. Another good sign. Obviously things could change at any point, but the strength of the symptoms is making me feel just a smidgeon more positive. Only a smidgeon mind you. We're still talking caution here.
And the bad news? My pregnancy symptoms have hit big time. BIG TIME.
I feel like absolute shit. Which is only aggravated by the enormous joke that is the phrase morning sickness.
24 hours a day sickness is a little more realistic.
I know that I should be grateful that things are doing what they should be doing, but honestly, I had forgotten just how bad I feel whilst pregnant and now I'm more than just a little panicked that I'm not going to be able to cope with the symptoms, Bella, Treefall and the blog.
I've thought more than a few times today that I'm just going to have to shut up shop for a few months - not necessarily the blog, but maybe the actual work side of it.
But then I also think that having something to focus on can only do me good. And that this time around can't be as bad as the last time, if for no other reason than the fact that I've got Bella - who seems to expect some kind of parenting from me! (take, take, take, with that girl!).
I'm really not moaning though (well maybe a little), and obviously I'm grateful that I'm in a position to feel this bad. But for the love of all that is good, can the morning (hah!) sickness just cut me some slack?
In the mean time I fear we may be having a little Blog Lite around here. Unless you guys can do the thinking for me (thinking makes me feel sick) and tell me what I should blog about! In fact that's an idea. All I need is one person to come up with a question or a theme every day for the next, well the next little while.
Please? Pretty please?
The Princess and the Pea set is available again in the shop - but it's only being made to order at the moment and takes about 4 weeks.
And I meant it about the question or theme thing - Me and the blog are looking for some serious help here!
