I just finished writing a post, but then I lost it. Damn. Let me try to re-write it.

So what I was saying is that over the past few days I have been feeling really nauseous in the afternoons. I feel fine when I wake up, except that I am really tired since I am not able to get a full night's sleep.

My Mum has recommended that I always try to keep something in my stomach, however that doesn't seem to be helping. Although the concept of snacking all day long is very attractive to me, I know I need to be careful not to gain lots of weight, especially so early.

I want to tell people that I am pregnant, but I know that it is still the first trimester and things are not certain. I especially don't want anyone from work to know. I have a female mentor that I am going to talk to about what the best way is to annouce my pregnancy to my manager.

If you read my earlier rant about work, then you will know that they annouced promotions and I didn't get one. However I talked to my manager on Tuesday and he is planning on promoting me later in the year assuming the business is doing well. I am still worried that I might lose my promotion due to maternity leave, but I will make sure that I know all my legal rights first.

I love having an anonymous blog where I can rant about work and pregnancy stuff. I don't even care how many people are reading this blog. I am just writing it for myself and I love it.

We contacted a midwife organization which we found through the Association for Ontario Midwives. They asked if I wanted to have an Epidural or not? How am i supposed to know that at this point? I need to talk to someone about all the risks first. I did some reading and it appears that it can mess with low blood pressure, and since I already have low blood pressure, there may be extra risks I need to be aware of. Anyway, we are on the list and will have to see if we get accepted or not. There is a much bigger demand than supply. I am surprised there are not more in the profession, I think it would be a very rewarding job to see babies being born all the time. Although they must have to work a lot of strange hours since babies arrive when they want to, and it usually is at strange times of day.
