It's been so long since my last blog!
I shall summarize the 6 or so months since then...
I had a multi-tude of essays and exams - the result of all these was that I passed my four papers for the semester, but not unscathed, having for the first time ever been the recipient of a full-blown migraine. I had always rolled my eyes at friends who were unfortunate enough to suffer from regular migraines, thinking them nothing more than a powerful headache but felt nothing but guilt and empathy as I tried to get an essay in on time...squinting at the computer screen as a cold sweat broke out...stumbling, almost blind, across the road to the arts department to hand it in....spewing in the toilet with silent tears mingling with the sweat that was pouring down my head....stumble-crawling down the street for the ferry...crying once more upon being picked up from the ferry by boyfriend...spewing once more at home befor taking a sleeping pill and passing into a coma-like sleep for 13 hours. I treaded carefully for the rest of the semester, trying to organise my workload a bit better...drink lots of water etc...but not being experienced in the world of the migraine I'm not really sure what triggers it. Luckily though I haven't experienced another one. Am putting it down to lots of water and sushi.
Ho hum - so yes. The semester finished, I got a few more hours at work and then xmas was upon us!
Nothing eventful there.
But come New Years and THE CONCEPTION....or at least I think it was around new years...or maybe it was X'mas and if so then it WAS eventful!
Anyhew - yes, I'd been feeling really tired all the time at work. I started pretty early though, 7am, and finished at 3. But this was extreme tiredness - I was getting home and napping for like 2 hours!
Then came the morning sickness....uuuurgh. And I knew. Did the at-home pregnancy test to confirm. And yes, there it was, the little pink cross - YOU'RE PREGGERS! - I had been expecting it but it still came as a bit of a shock.
Told the boyfriend. He was really good - as in HAPPY about it - which was a major relief and made me feel instantly happy and excited about the event too. Told the mother, she got the glassy-eyed faraway look in her eye that spoke of dreams coming into fruition. She has been pestering me and my sister about having kids for a few years now, "I'd be such a good grandmother! When am I going to get some grandchildren!?"...so yes, grandchild number 1 is on its way.
It is for this reason that I have changed my blog title and description a bit. Well, that and that I was sick of the old name. My freckles are annoying enough, one in particular, without me giving it its own place of honour in my title bar!
I don't want to scare away any of you (Cass) though with my rambles and would like to assure you that they shall still be all me, though with some embarrassing pregnancy stories thrown in the mix. Like a happy BONUS! Just because I'm preggers doesn't mean I shall lose interest in the rest of the world. I shall demonstrate my up-to-date current knowledge below;
Japan - Earthquakes! Tsunami's! Nuclear Reactor Catastrophe's - oh dear....horrible stuff....cold....not enough blankets or rice.....hello kitty lunchboxes squashed under tonnes of fishing boats....old people homeless....dogs and cats misplaced.....unable to smell their way home for all the water...sadness.
Christchurch - Much the same as above minus the extreme temperature drops and tsunami.
Politics of the World - Lies, lies, lies.....conspiracies....lies, lies, lies....
Libya - fighting? There's fighting somewhere - any help here would be appreciated, because I was interested but then boyfriend and I stopped watching the news as there was too much "bad" news on it. Depressing.
Movies - Black Swann sweeps Oscars and Golden Globes. It's all about Black Swann and Natalie Portman and babies.
So yes. I am currently 4 and a half months preggers or thereabouts. I may record my weight and baby bump progress on here....see how it goes.
Peace Out.
