So on the 31st we went and saw Dr Mary Yang and we’re not as pregnant as we thought we were… seems my cycle was extra long or something so in technical terms we’re 4 weeks along but in actually fact we most likely made the baby in Phuket!! Imagine, during my trip I packed a week load of tampons! Basically, right now we have a gestational sac! I have to admit, I hate knowing this early it just feels like there are more things to worry about and I wasn’t in a very good mood and then the husband said something that helped me snap right out of it… fact is we thought it would be the hardest thing in the world for us to even get pregnant so the fact that we did and it wasn’t hard we should appreciate our blessing.
I was in a much better mood for Ann’s lil NYE do. We wanted to tell everyone but since the tyke is just a lil sac, I decided to wait. I had a lil champagne, this giving up drinking is harder than I thought… seriously, I’m not a drinker and but I like to a few drinks every now and then, to give it up cold is oh-my-gawd… so hard. I didn’t think I’d have problems but I do!! Argh. It’s bloody annoying but I have a whole new appreciation for caffeine and booze, I used to just take these thing for granted. *Blah*
We came home (around 2am) to R’s dad going on and on about how he’d love another grandchild and how by next Christmas he’ll only wants good news as a Christmas present etc etc… I felt a bit bad but R said shhhh…
1 Jan, we had a lunch at R’s place, we had the Reveal, I was in two minds about that one cos well, I really would have prefered to have waited but R insisted we need all the prays we can get. We have family members lil folded pieces of paper asking them to guess the name of the Newest Addition to the Eber-Roche family. Heh. Way too many hugs and kisses… oh and just 15 mins before that, R’s dad had asked Florinda to tell me how mice it was being pregnant etc…. Heh.
The spat, I can’t believe that the gym nazi is being such a stick in the mud about exercise! I mean, really!!?? Of all people I never thought that R would bug me to take it slow. I know I can’t do the Aquathlon in Feb but there’s a huge fear of getting fat, I can’t explain it enough. Fact is, I hate diets and I do watch… to a certain extent what I eat but only exercise keeps me fit and well… sane. I especially love body pump but… I was looking around and I guess he is kinda right, I do have to take it easy, so for now lotsa walking, cross-trainer work, cycling (spin class), some arm weights. I know I might come across as selfish but to ask me to just do power walks and swims is like …. yanking my wisdom teeth out. I’m terrified of turning into a lump and I know myself I’m very capable of turning into one! I’m looking into some aerobic classes and aqua aerobic class later on and of course yoga.
