I have been lagging way behind in my blogging activities lately. And while I’m supposed to blog about new things, I find myself still cracking my head to put in the details for old events. I take extra pains to blog about important events that happen in Sze Yi’s life even though they were outdated posts because I wanted to keep a record of it. And so I’ve neglected my own blog.
I was supposed to blog about this at least a month back, but judging from the pace of things, I’m still trying to keep up with backdated posts. I guess I’ll just break the news here – I’m gonna have a 2nd baby soon!
Yes, we both knew it’s time because Sze Yi would need a companion soon. Initially, I’m very happy when I found out about it and wanted to tell the whole world. But I was advised to wait until at least 3 months for it to be considered stable. Indeed, many things happened – this time I wouldn’t want to be bogged down by any pantang larangs, so I told myself I won’t follow them strictly like what I did during my first one. Well, not too long later, I bleed. So I started to wonder if that’s the consequences of not following the “dont’s”. Or maybe I have not been putting as much attention on this 2nd one compared to my 1st pregnancy. I still put Sze Yi as my topmost priority. The bleeding experience reminded me that it’s time to switch focus.
Then workload started to pile high, with everyone busily occupied by the tapeout schedule. I even have to work until 2.30am in the morning! My, that was exhausting. Especially when you’re pregnant and need a lot of sleep. We finally taped out, but there’s another project that I have to work on immediately, which means less blogging time. I normally blog at night, after Sze Yi went to sleep. But nowadays, I find that I would rather lie down in bed or read some magazines instead of switching on my laptop.
And recently I fell sick. It was a 2nd one during this pregnancy, the first was when I was only 7 weeks preggy. During the first time, I didn’t take any medications. But for this time, it was so bad that even the medications couldn’t make my fever subside. I was on MC for 4 days last week, and was still coughing and sniffling away now. The flu caused my nose to be blocked, and my throat was so sore that I could feel the pain when swallowing my own saliva. And worst still, every time I coughed, I felt like vomitting (in fact, I’ve vomitted several times) and it’s really a great sufferering. And all these came when I was just planning to have a birthday celebration for Sze Yi. In the end, we cancelled everything, poor girl. I could only hope that when the real day comes, I would at least be well enough to accompany her and won’t spread the virus to her.
So, please bear with me for awhile, you might not see me blogging that often now (not that I did before anyway).
