Extended Jetlag

I know, I know, it's been a looong while.

A couple of weeks after my last post, my hubby and I left for our annual sojourn (Pictures to be posted soon. Hopefully.) However, that's not the sole reason for the silence in this journal.

What I thought was just fatigue and terrible jetlag from the trip -- lots of sightseeing, touring, seeing friends, getting on and off airplanes, waiting in airports, adjusting to different timezones was, apparently, much more than just that.

I was, good gahd, 5 weeks pregnant! No wonder I was chronically tired the week before we flew back home. Again, I just dismissed it as fatigue.

Yes, yes, we should consider this trip as our honeymoon. Hey, but that's not the point here.

I'm on my 13th week now, and it has not been easy. I call my pregnancy a textbook pregnancy. Everything the book says one might be experiencing has been happening to me! I always tell my friends I should get a prize for getting a perfect score!

Honestly, this the the most awful feeling ever. I call myself a "senior citizen". I can hardly get out of bed, can't eat anything, I feel woozy and nauseous all the time, my tummy, back, head, aches...name it! I haven't been to school since the Christmas break, haven't been able to cook, drive, clean the house, anything! I think a senior citizen is more able and capable than I am now.

That is why I haven't been online. I couldn't afford to take a few steps to go to the den and go to my desktop computer let alone sit on a chair and spend a few minutes in front of the computer. So, I finally got myself a laptop and installed a wi-fi router in our house. Now, I can go online in the comfort of my bed, and hopefully, update you with this latest adventure of my life.
