The last few days have been very good to me. The nausea is at a minimum, which is awesome.
I had some pre-natal bloodwork done this morning. Fasting is definitely more difficult now, as I'm hungry more often, but I managed to do it. I still have trouble giving blood (even small amounts). The first nurse tried two veins that looked good, but gave nothing. The second nurse managed to get blood in a new spot after digging around a bit (ouch!). Trouble was, there were 6 vials that needed filling and during the filling of the 6th, my vein started giving out. I just clenched my fist tighter and we just barely got enough for that one. This is pretty standard for me, so as uncomfortable as it is, I'm always very patient with the poor nurses.
After that was done, I raced to Tim Hortons to get a yummy fruit & yogurt and a cheese croissant. I'm still totally caffeine-free. If I do have an occasional coffee, it's decaf. I really miss diet coke, though. :(
I also stopped and picked up a super fresh jar of maple syrup. It was a little expensive, but I supported a local farmer. It's also safe for pregnant women to eat, which I checked beforehand.
It's a little surprising the number of things I have to be careful about. For example, the honey I have at home turned out to be unpasteurized, so I'll have to get rid of it :(
