This pregnancy...

Today I'm 30 weeks pregnant. That means it's only 1/4 left, or 10 weeks before I'm the mother of two and H is the father of three! I can honestly tell you that I didn't see this pregnancy go by...

In the beginning of August we were on vacation in Sept-Iles (H:s hometown in the east part of Quebec). I was feeling a bit weired, very irritable, tired and my face full with acne! My acne was so bad my mother in law gave me a anti acne cream, I didn't now if I should thank her or be a bit pissed off at her...

Anyway, I just stopped breastfeeding Lovisa, I only had two irregular periods so a pregnancy didn't seem very logical. I took the test secretly, just to "make sure" I wasn't pregnant. I mean we wanted to get pregnant but we didn't expect it so fast... So I was surprised, H even more surprised, H:s family were chocked. But as my very wise mother in law said "I had seven kids in 8 years so I shouldn't be surprised at all"! Well, everything is relative!

This is how I looked like just after we found out we were having another baby:



In the end of the vacation when I was around 7 weeks pregnant I started to feel sick. When we got home it became even worse. I vomited a lot, felt very weak and I remember I was laying on the couch, unable to get up, while Lovisa was playing around me, making a mess of the livingroom, probably thinking her mum was a real bore!


We took of to Sweden when I just started to feel better, around week 13. Lovisa and me spent October in Sweden and time just flew! We returned to Montreal in the beginning of November and I started to write my thesis.

This is how I looked like "halfway", around week 20 (end of November):

Do you see the little bump?

In December the whole family got sick, I had a terrible cold for over 2 weeks, Lovisa had double earinfection and I can honestly say I didn't see Christmas go by, I was to tired from being sick, taking care of Lovisa and writing my thesis. Was I pregnant? I don't remember!
After new year, I got the stomach flu witch lasted around 2 weeks.

Now, here I am in week 30:


From now on I want to enjoy this PREGNANCY! I want to be healthy, be able to take walks and feel energetic again! I'm tired of feeling half-dead, worrying that the baby is affected by my weak health. I'm used to be strong, fit and independent. Lately I've been a whiny, miserable, doubtful, weak bitch! And my temperament has really been very unpredictable, to say the least. Poor H and Lovisa! It's a good thing you can blame it on the hormones...
