I was going to post a 9 week update questionnaire but most of the answers were pretty repetitive so thought I would do the questionnaire every fortnight. But will still do a brief update. This week I have been terribly sick. Going on 8 days now. Two doctors visits in three days and the rest on bed rest. I started out with a throat infection that quickly turned in to a sinus infection and now looks like a chest infection. I have been through more boxes of tissues then I ever thought existed. I'm tired, hungry, sore, grumpy and can't breath. In short, I haven't been in a good way.
On a lighter note I have received my 'save the date' for my first antenatal appointment with the hospital which is the 19th of January and made the appointment for my 12 week Ultrasound which is the 3rd of January (only 22 days away!). And next week I have another set of blood tests that need to be done. Let the pocking and prodding begin.
The whole work situation has kind of gone from bad to worse for me. Just before finding out we were pregnant I got a new job which even after 2 months I still don't feel comfortable there and to be honest don't even know what my job is. I have had last week off sick and the doctor gave me a medical certificate til this Wednesday (which being a Casual I don't need but wanted to get to show them I wasn't just faking it cause apparently that's a thing that happens there). My mum dropped in to my work to speak to my boss and give her the certificate where she was told that the admin office (where I work) closes from the 19th for Christmas, which I was never told. And then my boss told her that she won't be back in the office til early February. This comes as a blow to me considering she tells me not to come in when she's not there - this shows how much I don't really have a set job as I need to be baby sat still after 2 months. I will call on Wednesday to find out the go but to be honest I am partly pleased I won't hopefully have to go there for at least a few weeks as it's not a friendly place at all and I feel horrible there. On the down side, money! That makes life very hard for us. We just got a mortgage on our first home and are saving to buy all the baby things. It's not like I can go out and get another job, who wants to employ a pregnant woman? And to be honest I don't think I would be able to work much longer with getting sick so badly already. So really I'm confused, angry and annoyed! Plus not sure what to do next to be honest.
Right now all I want is to be able to breath and go 2 minutes without having to blow my nose! People should never take cold & flu tablets for guaranteed. Not being able to take anything is a massive struggle!
