I suspect you're a bit moe prepared for that than most first-time pregnant ladies, thanks to Crohn's - I found a few similarities. How're you doing with the Crohn's anyway Becky, because I couldn't quite imagine dealing with the two at once, so I was wondering last night how that side was doing.

actually it's not that far off what I'm doing either but I don't really have a good medical excuse, and it's not doing me much good. I added together aching all over, bad throat and a little sneezing and decided I might have something nasty, so I took a couple of tablets and went to bed this afternoon. Again! Actually I slept from about 10pm till 7am solidly, despite a short nap yesterday afternoon. Maybe it was just the comfort of having DH with me (and not being kept awake by his jet lag like the last time he came home). I still feel like a zombie. It's getting hard to even know if I'm healthy or sick any more and my Coke consumption has risen recently - staying hydrated on Ribena alone isn't going to work in this horrible sultry weather. It's like a living thing settling round your shoulders - nasty!

But at least I'm not amongst the 22% of people who don't eat lunch... at the moment. That could change since we ran out of boiled eggs today. I hate having to think about lunch for DS and myself.

Two glasses of Coke and I'm yawning my head off. Isn't the combination of sugar and caffeine supposed to have me bouncing off the walls?? That's why I buy it! I've never had problems sleeping through caffeine though; I could probably sleep through almost anything if I tried hard enough!

the New Me is still a long way off over the water I'm afraid guys...

Kerri.
