Time Drags/Time Flies
Posted in: Pregnant Again
I’ve been gone for ages, I know. Thank you everyone who dropped by to wish us well. I see I have a lot of comments to read through. I didn’t think I’d be gone for so long but feeling like crap wasn’t conducive to doing much. You haven’t missed anything though. Nothing exciting has been going on here. I’ve been pretty much planted on the couch, barely touching my camera. I’ve barely left the house. The time just dragged by, a seemingly never ending amount of days of feeling so awful that I could just cry. In fact I probably did and most likely during one of those times when I was puking my guts out.
I know when I was pregnant with Isabelle I was still able to blog, even with the nausea and puking of guts. But this time it was different. Not the nausea. That unfortunately was just as bad as before, lasting all day and night, even when I was sleeping. But the biggest difference is my sleeping.
I’m usually a great sleeper. But this time around I’ve been having the hardest time with sleeping. I don’t know if I didn’t have this problem the last time or if I just don’t remember. So I’m in bed for extra hours trying to get a good night sleep. 8 hours isn’t cutting it anymore. And even when I’m dead tired and I try to take a nap it doesn’t work. I just toss and turn.
I guess maybe that’s why I haven’t been on the computer. I just wasn’t up to it. And as Alan said, “what would you blog about? Every post would be about how crappy you’re feeling.” Alan’s right. I would have bored everyone to tears about my crappy days.
Well my slow tortuous days have just flown by for Alan. He’s been so wonderful. He has taken over everything: the cooking, the cleaning, the shopping, and Isabelle. He’s been so busy he can’t believe we’re halfway through with this pregnancy.
Alan would occasionally remind me that I’ve said before that I enjoyed being pregnant. When the hell was that?!? Well the answer would be: this far along, I guess, because I AM feeling better.
Now the nausea is manageable with food. Before, it wouldn’t go away no matter how often I ate. And my butt is actually not melded to the couch anymore, lately I’ve been up to leaving the house. Also sitting at the computer isn’t so vomit inducing anymore.
So I thought I’d pop in to say, hi, and let everyone know we’re doing fine. I tried to do that yesterday but was too bothered by seeing my winter banner. It’s warm now and we have the AC on and ack a snowy Christmas tree for a banner. NOOOO! I desperately wanted to draw something new but wasn’t up to it. Instead I copped out and used the ultrasound I’ve been meaning to blog about since February. FEBRUARY! I made a new banner. Yay! After doing that and trying to catch up with emails I was too pooped to blog.
Today I still need to catch up on my emails but the task is so daunting I thought I’d blog first. I mean it has been ages since I’ve been on. And I’m sure you all want to know that we’re o.k. more than I need to catch up on my emails at this point since they are sooooo very embarrassingly old.
O.k. I’ve had enough of all this typing and sitting here. The baby is kicking and I need to feed the nausea away again. Catching up on emails will have to wait for later and hopefully my next post won’t take so long this time. 
Yay, so glad you’re feeling a bit better! I’ve missed you.
And don’t worry about replying to any of my emails, I’m pretty sure they’re of the just-thinking-of-you variety. Feel free to read those suckers and then delete ‘em with my blessing!
I’m so glad to hear that you and baby are doing well. I enjoy reading your blog so much! Congrats and best wishes from Tennessee!
I was so happy to see your post and to know that you are feeling a little better. Congratulations again and hugs for hero-man Alan and darling Isabelle.

THANK GOD! I was so scared that no news meant bad news! I’m so happy you are feeling better and that everything is going fine. Take care.
I’m so glad to see a post! And to see the ultrasound! Hopefully you’re getting into that “good” part of pregnancy I hear about (haven’t experienced.) The part where you’re gorgeous and feeling great and full of energy.
I hope we get a family photo soon, too, when you’re feeling up to it. First, though, feel better!
Hello! I actually squealed when I saw you pop up in my Bloglines. You haven’t been doing nothing, and making a baby is dang exciting. :0) Please keep us updated when you can, I’m very excited for you. Take care of yourself!
Welcome back! You were missed. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Oh you poor dear! I’m happy you’re feeling a little bit better. I feel guilty to say that my pregnancy have been quite easy, I got nausea for the first month only. Well, here’s to better times ahead! And will it be a boy or a girl?
I’ve been watching the blog feed for a while wondering when you’d be back around! I’m so glad that everything is going well for you with your pregnancy (despite the illness!)
Hi, I found your site while searching for instructions on making skirts for my two little girls for Easter. Thanks so much for posting the tiered skirt tut. I can’t wait to make more for my girls.
I’m so glad to see that you are feeling better. I had horrible “all day” sickness with my kidlets too. I’ll keep you in my prayers.

glad to hear you’re fine. i agree, don’t worry about catching up on everyone’s emails…bounce back here when you’re ready.
Oh I feel awful for you. I sort of know how you feel as I am almost 17wks and was tired as hell in the first few months. You’re a trooper. Congratulations and I hope you have a great pregnancy and speedy labour!!XOX
Oh thank God! I really had imagined the worst. So glad that baby and mama are doing fine. WHEW!
Great to hear that you are doing great! i know all about the not sleeping thing: baby is almost 5 months, and i still not sleep…
good luck to you all4
YEAH! You’re back! Good to hear from you again. Kinda got a little worried when you stopped posting on your blog and Flickr… Glad to hear you’re feeling better too.
Yay! Glad you’re feeling better.
I miss you.
It warms my heart to know you’re all well and to “have you back”, Kuky. Sending you and yours some warm, healthy, happy thoughts!
welcome back- just heard on the radio the other day a study that found a correlation between morning sickness= higher IQ (Motherisk at Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto). So maybe that could be your silver lining?
Great to hear you’re feeling better! Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly for you and your lovely family.
Hi,I am glad you are back and feeling better. It looks like you have been busy there’s lot of back posts I need to read. Take care x
