Come Back to Blogger

Ah yes, I'm coming back to Blogger, no less than after 3 years.
I remember the days when I used to write on Yahoo! 360 blog. Then it went away, and I became terribly lazy with writing. Besides, I kept thinking none of my friends are on Blogger so who am I writing this for? Oh well, if anything, this will be kind of my record keeping place. So what has prompted me to start again this time? The answer is: my little parasite!

I've had a little parasite growing in my belly for about 13 weeks now, and I've gotta say it's the weirdest thing (and the most exciting thing) that's happened to me yet. There isn't a day that I don't think about it (still calling "it" now because I don't know the gender yet). It sucks that I won't be able to find out if it's blue or pink for another 8 weeks. Eight more weeks!!!! Don't know if I can wait that long. *sigh* I'm so eager to start shopping for baby stuffs already.

So far I haven't felt too terrible. Morning sickness, or should I say all-day-sickness lasted for a few weeks where I just got so tired and only wanted to sleep. It got better for a couple of days, then I came down with something else. Sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing, chills, mild fever, sore throat, etc... prompted me to be subscribed antibiotics, 3 times a day for 10 days. I have to drill it in my head this time that I absolutely hate antibiotics (you see, I have a very forgetful memory and I'll probably forget about my disgust for antibiotics 3 weeks from now). It makes me gag, makes my pee stink, and kills my appetite. Although very tempted to dump the rest of the antibiotics down the toilet since I no longer have irritating symptoms, I must brave myself and try to finish all of them. I'm always exhausted, and hungry, but at the same time bloated and feel like there isn't room for food. But the worst is I have no desire to eat anything, except ice-cream and fruits. I'm afraid I don't know what to do if I start hating fruits too.

Today, I discovered crackers. As soon as I get up in the morning, I start eating crackers. Right before bed, when I start feeling a wee-bit hungry, I eat crackers. But still, my stomach and my chest burn like no tomorrow. Ahhh, when will all this go away???

I'm so ashamed to report that I haven't started studying for my MCAT test yet. I thought I'm strong and tough, and pshhh, pregnancy is a piece of cake. I was very sure that I could study, work, volunteer, and shadow my doctor in my first trimester with no problem. HAHA, how wrong I was!

I was able to work, shadow, and go volunteer training but I could not bring myself to read the MCAT books because my brain could not function right when I sat down. I kept dozing off or getting headaches. And that was before I got sick. While I was sick, all bets were off. Starting next week, I PROMISE to follow my schedule and stop lounging around feeling sorry for myself.

Ouch, my stomach is acting up now so I should probably go lie down or something... I don't understand it, I just ate! Little baby, you're a naughty naughty one for torturing your mommy like this. But I'll still love you anyway!!!

... Aawww... mommy... I'm still quite in shock and can't believe that I'm going to be a mommy. It's a feeling I could never describe!

Until tomorrow...
