Fizzy water! Oh yeah, nothing so far is more helpful with the nausea. Here I was, always shying away from carbonated water, which feels and tastes like medicine to me. I never got the appeal and, here it is, helping me throughout the day. The little joys and achievements of early pregnancy, I guess. I am trying to stay positive, and usually it’s fine but there are moments I think of that popular song that says “I’m sick and tired of always being sick and tired”. It’s a bit exhausting and it would be nice to have a different...

What a week it has been…! I’m so incredibly tired and sleepy and with this constant half-nausea as an ongoing companion. It is getting slightly better as, apparently, the placenta is starting to do more of its thing. Still, the low energy is a drainer and it’s sometimes even hard to express the happiness and gratitude that for sure abound.

Also a bit worried if everything is happening and progressing well. My doctor is on vacation so we’ll only meet on week...

The baby is coming! My honey and I went on this long business trip, with a final destination in Sydney, for 2 weeks. It’s true that Sydney in July is facing the Winter but that’s the kind of Winter that is just nice and pleasant. Just imagine it, with 20’C temperatures, sunny and a little bit of a breeze o help you going roundabout. It’s an awesome city, with a great laid back atmosphere, amazing landscapes and much to do and see. Suddenly,  the main reason to be there was gone. So we decided to cut the trip short and...
