I must say that God has been really good to us. My pregnancy has been easy. No morning sickness, no discomfort, no big emotional change (according to Ray), and no weird cravings (although I do enjoy salads and hot & sour soup a lot).
However, I must say that there is never a free ride in life. I've finally hit my bump on the road of being pregnant. Acute viral nasopharyngitis, a.k.a. the common cold. I've had this little bug for more than a week now and it's terrible! I've been relatively healthy here in Taiwan, no bleeding noses (which I had plenty in Canada due to the drier air), no sick days at school, usually 1 day of sore throat but recovering quickly...but this! I've already taken 2 sick days, I've had several bleeding noses, and I have been terribly sleep-deprived due to my constant coughing, stuffy nose, and bladder needs.
I finally decided I should see a doctor 2 days ago, and he gave me some pregnancy-friendly meds so I'm feeling hopeful. Even though I have the day off today, I actually feel better. Amazing what drugs can do!
Well, I think it was God's wake-up call to me that being pregnant is not easy. :)
Kudos to all you mothers out there! Happy Mother's Day!
P.S. Here are some pics of our baby so far. I thought I'd share some of God's awesome works with you.
It amazes me the details that exist already inside my womb! Oh, and in case you're wondering, we've been told it's a boy.
A family portrait. I'm getting bigger!
