Pregnancy (with photo) and poo (without photo for once)

Okay, I'm going to do a pregnancy post anyway. I promise not to go on about it all the time, but it can't be all gay porn all the time, you know. Besides, I like reading about other pregnancies so I thought I would join in.

I will do bullet points. Bullet points are so comforting to me, and so helpful to you. (By the way - on a completely unrelated topic - can you catch bad breath? I just talked to someone with bad breath for an hour and now I have the memory of the odour in my mouth. I'd better not have caught it. I suppose in theory you could, as it's bacterial. Yuck! I'm going to have a random selection of sweet stuff now, just to be sure.)

• My first trimester is nearly over and thank fuck for that. I'm still gagging a bit throughout the day, and I threw up this morning, but at least I have some energy back, and I am so grateful. At least I don't want to sleep every single second any more.
  I managed to drive for the required hour to see An today, so all is well with the world again. I nearly fell asleep while driving, but nearly is not all the way so hooray.
• Another reason all is well? My poo is back! Nauseous and constipated is just too much of a good thing. Now I'm regular again, and I'm thinking of having a party.
• My thyroid went a bit hyper according to my doctor, and that's said to make you "nervous and tired." Which for me translated into "negative and exhausted." I've now decided to stop thinking everything possible is wrong with the baby.
• I have a bump picture. I know it's not very original, so I promise not to do this too often.
  
  
  
  
  
  Did you notice how I cunningly removed the wattle from the photo, but kept the boots? I realise that is a very thick jumper, but the bump could use the help.
• Because of this huge bump, I can't sleep on my stomach any more, so I'm hardly sleeping at all, and I have a crick in my neck, which is a real pain in the neck. (Not funny from where I'm sitting, but then probably not from where you're sitting either.)
• My mood has been going all over the place. I've been trying to compensate for the children, by playing with them a lot and giving them good attention, but I think I've not managed completely.
  This morning, I was talking to Jack after I had been a impatient with him at the breakfast table:
  

  Me: Sorry I've been a bit difficult this morning.
  Jack: This morning? Don't you mean this week?
  

  Ouch. Luckily he didn't seem too bothered.
  
• And then there's all of you, my lovely lovely internet friends. Marie's naptime used to be my quiet internet time, but now it has turned into a joint naptime, which means I am permanently behind on my reader. Please don't think I'm ignoring you - I will get there eventually. It just takes me a couple of days sometimes.

Right. I think that's my first trimester recap. I'm looking forward to the second trimester, because the two previous times I loved being pregnant as soon as food stopped being the enemy.
