6 Weeks

This past week I have been feeling extremely nausas for pretty much the entire day. I have also been feeling unbearably tired. I would wake up in the morning and feel as though I had not had any sleep and I would nap throughout the day - when I could, poor Morri had to put up with an untidy house and no outings! Thank God for Hi-5!! This second pregnancy is already a lot tougher than when I was pregnant with Morri - I don't remember being this tired or sick. I went to see the doctor on Friday morning - I had already booked in to see my regular GP today, but I couldn't wait as I just felt so strangely tired and I was a bit concerned. I couldn't see my regular GP so I rang some clinics around my area to see if someone could see me. I had several blood samples taken, I think about 7!! The doctor did the usual tests, blood pressure, checked my heart, breathing and abdomen. All were normal, as I was complaining of heart palpatations and breathlessness. I go back to see the GP tomorrow for the blood test results. I suspect low iron levels are the culprit. I took Morri with me and he was so good. He was fascinated with the blood pressure monitor and showed great concern when I had to lie on the Drs. table so he could palpate my abdomen. He wanted to lie next to me. Sweet boy!! I had to take a urine sample of course and the receptionist offered to hold Morri while I went to the toilets. I could hear Morri calling for me from inside the toilets. He didn't cry but jumped into my arms when I came back!!

We finally told our family. We figured that I couldn't hide the fact that I am so sick for too long. They were all shocked but very happy - just like us!!
