Thanksgiving:
- That I've made it this far in the pregnancy
- That I survived the church retreat in early June, when I was just 11 weeks along and wondering if taking the 860 km road trip to Bt Tinggi, M'sia, and back was a good idea
- That my appetite is picking up (tho' I'm nowhere near having serious cravings or developing a fondness for large and frequent meals)
- That I'm not working F/T (yay!). I really cannot imagine commuting to and from work at peak hours on public transport, jostling with thousands of other commuters and having to stand all the way
- I've started experimenting in the kitchen again (last night it was grilled rosemary chicken; before that it was roast root veg/pan fried chicken breast with mushroom sauce/a Spanish chorizo rice dish that failed spectacularly and had to be hastily buried/tuna macaroni/fried rice which I finally got right after slavishly following a recipe/fusilli with ham and peas in a cream sauce/pear tart and creme caramel for dessert). The hubby has been very encouraging. Just last night he commented that it was a good thing I'd stayed home so he could enjoy his meals.
- Not putting on weight yet. Plenty of time for that, I'm sure. Still hovering at 49 kg mark. When I had Beth I put on 18 kg, which took me a year to lose!
Pet Grouses
- Backache
- Breathlessness (my growing belly feels like it's obstructing my breathing)
- Constipation and digestion issues
- A strange tap-water coating on the tongue that keeps me from fully enjoying the taste of my food
- Interrupted sleep
- Mood swings
- Fatigue. I'm so tired of feeling tired!!
