Morning Sickness... Sigh...

Morning sickness... some people are blessed with(out) it... some poor souls have a hard time of it... those who go through it, some are lucky to get it for a short time, some even more challenged folks go through it for the whole 9 months!

Me? I am just coming out of the worst phase so far... I had a really bad month of it, but alhamdulillah this past 5 days have been sooooo much better than before. I remember going through both of my previous pregnancies having really bad morning (afternoon, and night!) sickness during the 1st trimester, and was really hoping this time around would be different. No such luck though! Went to (and through) work like a zombie, throwing up food and stomach juice throughout the day, and looked almost as pale as a dead person! I had plenty of plastic bags stashed in Hubby's car for sure! Didn't even have the mood to put a touch of color on my lips (cos it'll all be wiped out after a session of vomiting!).

Don't get me wrong... this was a planned pregnancy (albeit slightly off in terms of proposed timing), but I was really not looking forward to the sickness part. Luckily I seem to have gone through the worst of the phase without being hospitalized for dehydration (which has happened before), and I managed to get through the most critical part of the working year in this condition, so things are definitely looking up! 9 weeks down, 31 more to go!

Heck, I'm finally posting another entry after more than 1 month hehehe... that's an indication of improved health, dontcha think? :)

Now... I wonder when I'll be OK enough (or be in an able position) to start sewing again? My poor sewing machine's been in storage for ages now, with all my works-in-progress still in progress too!!!
