    Wello hello Susan :D

    Would you like some dry toast? And is there something you'd like to tell us?
    It's too early to know for sure but I have strong supsicions. And you're not "supposed" to even feel sick this early but by this time four years ago I'd already been throwing up.

    I hope the nausea means what you want it to mean but passes within the normal time and doesn't get as bad as last time Susan. Do you know how you'll manage if you're super sick again?

  • Eep Susan, that sounds exciting on both counts. 1) That you feel nauseous and 2) that the nausea is not as bad as last time.


    In far less exciting news I am off to drop the car at the garage....

    Ps peppermint gaviscon in tablet form?
    That sounds gross.

    It isn't at a level which interferes with my regular activities (except for not doing sit ups when I woke up this morning) which it was four years ago and I've found if I keep nibbling little bits it seems to help so far.

    What exciting (half)news to get up to :j How long until you can test Susan?

    We had 2 poos again in the night :( One at 12.30 and then another at 4.30. More or less the same times as last few nights so looks like it's becoming a routine :( Anyone know how I can change a poo routine lol. It's frustrating coz he's only waking up because he's pooed, and I have to change him coz he starts wriggling and kicking his legs so he's obviously uncomfortable.

    I dont have any ideas on changing a poo routine, but I know with my two, it happened with both of them - waking in the night due to pooping but soon turned itself around without me doing anything. Lexis 'poop' routine still changes now :cool:

    I've made sure we've got six months supply of everything which we can keep for that long (e.g. toothpaste, toilet roll, pasta, rice, tinned tomato etc.) so that the only shopping which needs to be done is short life stuff (butter, lard, milk, eggs, buttermilk and fresh/frozen fruit and veg). We also have a very good stash of meals (about eight weeks worth) I have made in the past in the freezer. I also have a rough cooking plan which OH could do which would minimise work and keep the main work to Saturdays. If I was very ill then I would qualify for whatever they call Incapacity Benefit now (I forget what it's called but it's the equivalent of sick pay for the self-employed) as I am self-employed so we would use the extra money to have any tumble dryable washing done by the laundrette (they can't cope with not tumble drying everything) and for a cleaner. We would get anything we could from the milkman to cut down on shopping trips. OH would be able to make our lunches and leave them in a tub in the fridge for Alice to fetch at lunch time. (She's almost capable of making lunch herself but has a limited repertoire and an unusual presentation style.) And I've done lots of cleaning to make sure there's not too much to do initially. And quite handily (although obviously just coincidence) our library has just moved from ten minutes Alice walk to three minutes Alice walk away which makes it much more easy to get to even if I end up ill.
