This recovery is pretty slow, but all my sickness symptoms have gone, just leaving me with painful lung-lining. I think what has happened is that when you are pregnant, hormones race around and loosen up ligaments and things so that expansion can take place without much effort. While I was sick and had absolutely violent coughing attacks, I think I have over-stretched the ligaments or whatever around my lungs and I just have to wait until they heal properly. Breathing is still difficult and I'm ok as long as I don't exert myself too much. Sleeping is pretty painful though and I wake up feeling like I've been steam-rolled. But during the day I'm ok and I've even been at work today with no major problems. And I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight now - I've eaten a kilo of protein powder and put on 4kg in a week - that's some pretty fast weight gain! It's all gone to my bulging tummy and I definitely look pregnant now :)
And, no morning sickness for over a week! Hooray!
Preston's been reasonably good - he had fun at swimming today with all sorts of new tasks to do, like lying back and pushing off from the wall with his feet, jumping in and swimming around dan and back to the side, and the usual running/jumping/diving fun. Summer time at the pools and beach will be really fun this year! (Except i'll be so pregnant and uncomfortable).
I've just finished my last assignment for my Food Allergies Diploma and I think I have to do an exam and then I'll be done :)

Soooo good to hear you are getting better and everything is going uphill. Phil has been filling me on your details. It certainly has been tough on you and dan these couple of months, and pity we don't live in auckland or else we could have helped you look after preston. Hang in there belinda...by the way, would love to see how big your tummy is now :) Maybe you can post a pic! xoxo michelle
