Less sickness, less nausea. More getting on with things, more enjoyment.

I saw the midwife yesterday which is always fun when I’ve got three small children on the loose in an office full of sharp needles and drugs. (Actually, littlest was confined in the stroller with a bag of snacks as a bribe but that lasted all of two minutes before the tantrum began and somehow a toddler on the loose seemed the lesser of two evils.)
The circumstances made me somewhat stressed and I could feel my blood pressure rising. All the way to 80/50 as it turns out so it’s probably just as well or else I might have fainted on the consulting room floor.
Fortunately I don’t have to see her again until somewhere between twenty four and twenty eight weeks pregnant so it is weeks before I have to drag an unhappy, unwilling toddler out of a shortened nap again in order to have the next baby checked over. Regrettably, baby number four seems to come a long way down a very busy list of Things I Have To Do For My Children but at least it won’t come to expect anything more when it arrives. At this rate it’ll be lucky if I can remember it’s name.

Bringing the kids to doctor’s appointments is about my least favorite thing to do, particularly when there is no one to watch the kids when I have one. In fact, just got back from my doc with my daughter. Luckily my mother was able to drive out to watch the other two.
So glad to hear you are feeling better…it really makes all the difference in the world, doesn’t it?
It’s always an adventure, isn’t it? Sounds like you have things under control, though — as much as they can be!
