Good News
I have news.
I'm ten weeks pregnant. We went for a scan this morning and saw a heartbeat, which was a relief.
It's been making me quite ill, which is why I haven't been blogging much. I've been mostly unable to read or write, as the printed word makes me liable to vomit. I've been mostly sitting in my rocking chair and feeling crap. I've been mostly very bored.
I've also been terrified of developing HG (Hyperemesis Gravidarum), a debilitating condition I had in my first pregnancy which is so horrible I don't even want to describe it. I'm technically still in danger of getting it, and supposedly have an 80% risk, but I'm feeling much more positive than I was.
I've been writing about it all in another blog. I may blog more over there than over here for a while, mainly because words still make me feel ill (although reading is much worse than writing), so I have to minimise the amount of time I spend at the computer. I should probably warn you though: That other blog was designed for fellow HG sufferers, and may be a bit graphic / tediously-detailed for some.
But anyway. Hurrah, and all that.

Congratulations - and whatever stands in for prayers for the atheist (thoughts? I usually do thoughts which, lacking the invocation of deity seems a little less impressive but is still entirely sincere) that you avoid what sounds like an utterly horrible condition.
Ohh good news! Congratulations!!
Fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, testicles (ooya!!) and every other part of my anatomy is crossed for ya, hope it brings YOU good luck as it only seems to be bringing ME cramp.
I'll avoid the other blog, I'm squeamish, but will keep an eye out for updates.
CONGRATULATIONS :)
Congratulations!! That's fantastic news, good luck with it all and i hope you avoid the HG.
Great - have been thinking about you. Wrap up warm and take care.
