You know something is working very hard within your womb when you experience the occasional cramps and extreme fatigue. Despite napping for about an hour, I still feel like I'm going to drop dead anytime. I know I keep blogging about how tired I am and seriously, I am not as boring as this but I simply did not expect that IVF can be so extremely tiring!
So I went to KKH for my blood test today. It's to measure the progesterone levels in your body and readings are about 79.39 (not sure what units) The nurse says anything more than 30 is considered good so I only need to continue with the normal 3x a day inserts. I have also satisfied my cravings for sausage mcmuffin and I am a happy girl all over again. I have been quite addicted to this Casino game in Facebook, particularly the slots machine. Now I understand why people can sit at the Jackpot room for hours without leaving their seats. The free games come quite often and you get to choose baby lions and win more money! The app is called Double Down Casino. I simply just let it run while I type and when the music stops, I know I hit the bonus round and I click. When it's over, I let it run again and do something else again while waiting for another bonus round.
So I mentioned I wanted to do something more constructive during this 2ww and we, (my sis and I) went to IMM to buy a jigsaw puzzle. The box is still sitting prettily on my table, untouched. Looks like you need the right mood to want to start doing it in the first place. It's a really cute mickey and minnie monotone jigsaw and it's quite challenging. We were looking for something with a baby theme but they don't seem to have it. The puzzles and frames didn't come cheap, it was a total of $120 plus after discount. Let's hope the end product is worth it.
I feel bad for Bella that she needs to stay with me at my mum's place. I can sense she is uncomfortable here as she doesn't really have a proper place to go to sleep unlike back at our own house. She has been sighing quite a bit lately as well, as if she's really upset but has resigned to her fate. LOL. My brother took her out for a walk around the park yesterday and I am thankful he did that. I know Bella misses her box of toys and her favourite spot on the couch and the aircon room at night and also Shasha, her bestie at her nanny's house. Looks like if I do get pregnant, this place will be her second home because I will be staying her till my first trimester is over and during the last 2 weeks of my last trimester. She will definitely be with staying with me because she cannot possibly stay with her daddy who is sooo busy working and earning money while I laze around and get fat. Having said that, once Bella's period is over, we need to send her to the clinic to get her spayed. I remembered how doudou (my first dog) was after we had her done. She was moody and in pain but never snappish. Let's hope Bella darling stays that way too. Throughout her entire period she has been patient and non temperamental too, which is really good. Some dogs are known to become aggressive and snappish. I can't deal with a bitchy dog right now for sure.
I'm also going to be looking at some nursery decorations just for the fun of it when I have time. It's really good and therapeutic to start fantasising about baby's arrival! Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!
xoxo,
J.
