Morning Sickness

This is my second pregnancy.  I'm entering the 2nd trimester.  Yet my morning sickness is still as bad, if not worse.

I was still working when I was conceived with my first baby.  I lost my appetite altogether.  I couldn't even stand the smell of cooking.  Thus, a lot of times, hubby needed to bring me out for meals.  Nevertheless, I like Zinger Burger from KFC.  Hubby enjoyed taking me over to the fastfood restaurant, since he's a fan of KFC.  Other than that, I don't recall fancy anything else.  I suffered all 9 months, although towards the end I was able to eat more.

This second pregnancy is quite a different one.  Since I have previous experience, I detacted my conception quite early.  I developed back pain right from the beginning.  I feel hungry almost all the time, but I can only take small portion of food each time.  That is very frustrating.  I don't like to keep looking for food to eat now and then.  After all, I'm not a food lover.  I eat to live, not live to eat.

Though I'm a fulltime mom, I feel tired most of the time.  Elyse craves for my attention a lot.  Thank God for hubby and in laws.  Many days and nights they relieve me from all the household chores and helps me to take care of Elyse.  However, there was a season, I think approximately 2 weeks, I couldn't sleep at all at night.  Then, another season, where I practically sleep from day to night and night to day. 

The latest was food poisoning after the Ipoh trip.  I think the culprit was the pisang goreng from the road side.  I only ate 3 pieces.  But the whole evening I was vomitting, practically everything I ate and drank.  I couldn't even take in 2 mouthful of water.  It took me 3 to 4 days to recover.

And now this week I am suffering from sore throat.  It has now led to coughing and running nose.  These few nights I have difficulty in falling asleep as well. 

With December coming to an end soon, we are starting to pack our stuff for the moving.  We'll be paying a visit to the church as well as the parsonage shortly.

It is such a roller coster ride for me with this second pregnancy.  Nevertheless, I'm ever grateful for my baby in the womb.  He/she is a gift from God and we will treasure him/her and shower him/her with our love and care as much as we do with our little princess, Elyse.
