The one in which I moan.

I apologise in advance for the slightly negative slant on this post.

If I am honest, life is currently great. I have a wonderful, caring husband who works hard for a living. A dangerously cute, chubby-cheeked daughter who makes me smile every minute of every day. We are also expecting an addition to our little family who practices kung-fu inside me daily.

So why the moan?

I'm just so fed up of feeling ill. Ever since becoming pregnant with this baby it has seemingly been non-stop.

2 days after the positive pregnancy test I had a little bit of bleeding and cramps. After having tried for a year to concieve we were terrified. After that subsided I had little time to feel overjoyed. The morning sickness and exhaustion kicked in. Having not had this with Lizzie, I didn't know what to expect. I can honestly say I have never felt so ill in all my life. I barely had the energy to look after Lizzie and the perils of potty training. Her nap times were my aim every morning so I could just lie down and wallow in self-pity. It went on for 2 months. (Shudder.)

Once I was starting to feel better from the sickness and my energy levels crept up, I cautiously started to get on with life once again. I had my first scan, and saw the product of my suffering. I had made a baby! Awesome!

A couple of weeks after I could really say I was starting to feel myself again I developed a DVT (clot in my leg.) I looked like elephant man. Plus I had of course not shaved my legs in a while when I presented in A+E (sod's law.) So I was feeling sexy with my hairy, swollen leg for all the doctors to see. I could barely walk for a week, but it soon went down thanks to the lovely twice daily injections.

More time off work.

After finally returning to work a couple of weeks ago, I was starting to get my hopes up of having some respite. Nope! On my days off last week I had a nasty cold immediately followed by a lovely dose of tummy flu.

So am I due some 'normal' days? Please?

I never used to be a poorly person. Maybe this will be all my illnesses over for the next few years.

So now when I wake up in the morning feeling fine, I praise the Lord for that day. And I suggest you do too. Cus ya never know guys, when you will end up like me :)

Rant over.
