Having had some time on my own these past days I have thought a bit about what it will be like when my body goes back to “normal”. As much as I have complained about being big and feeling a bit useless in these last weeks, I have loved being pregnant, specially as it seems to have kept the MS “away”. Now I wonder what it will be like say in a months time. Ok my MS hasn’t disappeared I still have my cognition and fatigue problems, but most of the sensory problems I have felt nothing from since maybe June last year. Last relapse was in November 2007, with the neuro saying that I have been so well I don’t even qualify for drugs anymore should make me really happy. (more…)

Nesting and bloodtests
15th April 2009 by Hellie
Us humans seem to often forget that we really just are animals after all. And I guess pregnant women get reminded about this with some of the funny things that happens during pregnancy.

It’s funny i get what they mean when they are saying your body prepares for looking after a baby the last few weeks of pregnancy. My sleeping patterns are really up the creek. I can’t sleep at all for more than say 3 hours at the the time. Then I am awake for a bit, then I snooze, get up and go to the loo, sleeep, dream crazy stuff about telling of some evil lady about smoking in a non-smoking cafe, wake up, lay and think, go to the loo, sleep some more etc. So I can see the body is getting ready for sleepless nights or tending to screaming bundle of joy and poo.

16 days…
13th April 2009 by Hellie
Well if the due date is anything to go by I got just over two weeks to go! It all feels very unreal, I am getting very fed up with being this big, but I could do with the two weeks to get the house ready. But we have got a lot of things done this Easter. Steve’s parents came around on Saturday and drove lots of stuff to the tip, and today we are shipping of a lot of stuff to charity that should be picked up tomorrow morning. The painting is nearly done, and I ordered some new kitchen chairs from Ikea along with the cot, that with a bit of luck should show up in a weeks time. (more…)
