This Afternoon, Craig heard a lot of squabbling coming from our backyard and upon investigation, he discovered that once again, the rainbow lorikeets had returned and this time, they were feasting on the dark red fruits of one of our umbrella trees. Now Meg had told us that the lorikeets were fond of these fruits but this was the first time we'd actually seen the lorikeets feasting. Craig managed to take some snaps of one of the lorikeets. There were three others but this one was a bit greedy and seemed intent on chasing its mates off. Needless to say, its looking rather pleased with itself!
Much like the lorikeets, we've had a pretty lazy Saturday. Actually, its the first day of the week that I've been able to put my feet up and just unwind. It's 7 weeks into the pregnancy and I can barely get through a full working day without feeling exhausted. I have to squeeze in catnaps whenever possible! Also little Dragon has unfortunately brought other friends - the morning sickness kind. While I've not actually barfed yet, I constantly feel like I'm standing on a boat on rough seas.
It's amazing the variety of advice and stories you hear about pregnancy. I had someone sympathetise with my plight, only to tell me that they themselves had morning sickness for 8 months. I even had a sales rep tell me that his wife had morning sickness so bad, it only stopped 2 hours prior to her giving birth and also that she'd been vomitting so much that the acidity rotted her teeth...
Comforting stuff, eh? Anyhow, little Dragon is now the size of the blueberry. I brought an prenatal yoga manual as I'm determined to try to be as fit as my body will allow me (respecting the morning sickness & fatigue of course) so I can keep us both healthy. Have you got any morning sickness stories to share? Let us know.
