Like doing time
I haven't been more sick. Pay back time? Maybe. My first was a breeze and I mean it. I'd never felt more invigorated and alive. Like I was glowing the entire time. There was no suffering of any sort whatsoever. And viola! what a bouncy bundle of sunshine he turned out to be too!
My second was a tad painful. She turned out to be a beautiful girl so I figured that was the cost of having a precious baby girl.
Painful is an understatement for this one. I loathe to wake up. I loathe to sleep (coz I can't!). I'm sooo nauseous, soooo generally unwell, dizzy, grumpy (I'm dying to type "pissy" though. There, did it.) and sooo lethargic ALL the time that I feel I'm seriously doing time this time.
If this is another girl, she'd better be one helluva chick!
Ok. Lousy joke. I'm bad. This is a blessing. How can I even complain?
But this is it, I believe. My body's winding down. I can't have more than this. Not that it's within my control completely of course. But, please (ask and ye shall receive, right?), help me through this and double please, help me through the 1.5 years of sleepless nights, and triple please, help me manage 3 bravely and sanely, and quad please, erm...perhaps no more after this?
I mustered enough energy to do this entry and now I feel drained. I wouldn't joke on my last ounce of energy.

Siong man. Anyway, you had G when you were... 29? That's the magical age you know - got the strength of a 20-something but the income of a 30-something. Plus it was just you and The Man. Magical days.
That's cool. If I had stomach flu, all I'd be thinking of is me.
Gosh... after reading this, I seriously wonder whether I'm ready for this again. Been trying, but no success yet. You know what they say about the nausea tho'; its good cos it means you've got the right hormones going to sustain the babe. Still, I soooo understand how it feels. The worst bit was the smell. I stayed away from food courts throughout and didn't make a comeback till I think C was abt a year old.
Couldn't eat too but citrus fruits worked for me.
