Not been lazy.

It seems like forever since I last posted something on here but unfortunately it's not down to laziness.

I had to take the missus to the hospital on Tuesday 6th as a bit of research and common sense indicated that it probably isn't that normal or healthy to be vomiting 3-5 times a day.

We sat around in A&E for a while before being taken off and Annie was given a lie down and listened to a Transylvanian nurse make innumerable jokes about his origin and the fact that he needed to take blood.  Annie coped very well with the situation and was kept in for 2 nights for fluids and antiemetics.

This gave us a chance to scout out the midwives at the hospital, who are a helpful and happy lot, so that provides some comfort for later in the pregnancy.  Annie did very well despite the fact that she wasn't allowed to eat for 24 hours and was feeling very hungry, so there was a huge sense of relief when she was finally permitted some solids.

There was a period of time where we were kept on the edge of our seat/hospital bed when the nurse dropped a "bad sickness early on can be a sign of twins" bomb before declaring we'd have to wait until the next day to have our first scan.  Fortunately there was only 1 bean-shaped thing in there but it was dated as a week shy of what we thought.

Since Thursday night Annie has been doing very well and is now eating and drinking properly again and has had a chance to enjoy some of the fine weather that's come around unexpectedly.  Hopefully this means no more admission to hospital until the time is right.
