Sydney’s hottest February day in 5 years

February 12th, 2010

That was today at 38 degrees C, with humidity as much as 99%.

With such hot and humid weather it doesn’t help much with my demeanor and comfort while working at home. But well, can’t complain too much coz I did get to sleep a bit and escape most of the morning sickness the entire morning.

Bland is often right

February 9th, 2010

Food is my biggest challenge (fatigue a very close second). Anything with complex flavor is very unlikely to be agreed with by my taste buds. The tummy is protesting hunger, but my mouth is being very picky!

I Need food which are neutrally tasting, in other words, bland, but nutritious.

A multivitamin

February 8th, 2010

I’ve finally got a mommy multivitamin:
elevit

So i think i’m off the separate doses of folate, iodine and iron, or I’ll end up taking too much.

Another prescription from the GP is ice cream. Gotta get the calcium from somewhere =)

A very informative interview of Dr. Weil by Kevin Rose. A few practical health questions answered. (taken from kevinrose.com)

Sleepy as sleepy gets

February 2nd, 2010

I’ve always been the sleepy kind. But my goodness I can’t imagine being sleepier now more than ever! I was told I’d experience fatigue as part of the first trimester (and online information confirms this). But whew, I can’t get out of bed without having to snooze for two hours!

I wonder if I can get anything done at all? Even more so now, I’ll be needing some serious streamlining of tasks. It’s not easy and I’m not sure if I can cope with all the work I still need done in the next few weeks…

Mini-goal: Get to bed as early as possible. Primetime TV is not worth it.

February One Twenty Ten

February 1st, 2010

So are we officially back in blogging?

We’ve strayed away from Janep from the past year or so. We were at twitter, plurk and that thing called facebook. But at the end of the day, we still come back here in the place which we call home.

Now that it seems we will be updating Janep in a regular basis again, I need to do some spring cleaning around the site. I’m too lazy to switch to another theme so we’ll leave it at that for the moment.

We’ll have a big year ahead of us. No definite plans yet *that* far but we’ll see.

‘Initial’ reactions

February 1st, 2010

Okay, so we started telling people now. And by “we” I mean “me”. Well, I think Ajay told a couple of his friends, but I’ve gone a bit crazy with all the closest dearest family and friends I could get a hold of. Let’s have a look at the varied responses to our news:

“First” GP visit

February 1st, 2010

I went to see Dr Cowell again today. Her first words were delivered nonchalantly: “You’re here for your panvax shot?”

Changing habits.

January 31st, 2010

I get annoyed very easily these days. I realised it’s time to detoxify my day, so I can identify which things make life worthwhile, and which are not worth paying a second thought (or even a first, if I can manage to train myself well to streamline my thoughts).

Detox. Change habits.
