10 weeks, more big gifts
The nausea is subsiding... but only just. For example, I feel pretty sick right now. But on the whole, I'm having fewer sicky episodes than I was, which is good. Also, I can no longer sleep on my stomach and have already resorted to sleeping with a pillow between my knees. It's wonderful because it stops me from rolling onto my tummy which, in turn, wakes me up. This way, I normally sleep fairly soundly. Although I'm having horribly vivid dreams of spiders and other crawlies again.
Also, I've contacted my doctor for an appointment because I feel quite breathless. I'm uncomfortable and I feel like I have a weight on my chest. He can't see me until Wednesday so I'll hold out until then. I've been feeling breathless on and off for about a week now. I have VERY mild asthma and my pump doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
We went to my Mum's for Mother's Day and had big, juicy steaks on the BBQ. Lovely! With baked potatoes, corn on the cob and homemade cookies from my sister for dessert.
As you can imagine, Jake didn't come away empty-handed, as he never does. He got Spiderman pyjamas, a big jar holding 240 chocolate coins and a tractor. Yup, you read that correctly: a tractor. Here it is:

My Mum, never one to give small, inexpensive gifts to the "best grandson in the world", went and bought him a tractor. Hell, it even has John Deere on the side. It has pedals and a steering wheel and the dumper thing at the front really works. Not that Jake realizes that at just over 2 years old.
She also got him a motorcycle, but that stayed at her house.
Mum!! We have no space left in our house!
