I won't be doing a registry or baby shower, never did with my first 3 either. I don't think it's really a big thing in the UK though it's getting more popular. To be very honest, all my family is in a different country and over here there's only 1 friend and my MIL anyway so there wouldn't be any point even if I wanted to.
I finally got my blood test results back from my midwife yesterday. I'm borderline iron deficient, so while she could prescribe me something for it she recommended trying a change in diet first to see how that deals with it. I'm fine with that, have an actual reason to buy steak now
How's everyone feeling within themselves these days? I'm roughly 11 weeks now, and I'm finally starting to have some good days. I'm still tired, but no way near how I've been. I can actually stay awake the whole day now and do some stuff around the house which is a massive improvement. I had gone from a constant nausea, which was annoying enough, to waves of sickness the last few days. While I prefer the waves, the sickness was a lot worse and harder to deal with. I figured there had been 2 changes in those days,
1. I'd started eating full meals again, where as before I barely ate a thing due to the constant nausea.
2. I'd started having some fizzy drinks again (not many, but some).
So yesterday I cut out the fizzy drinks all together, and had much smaller meals more frequently. Today I'm feeling marvelous!! I know it's early in the day still and there's plenty of time to change it, but I haven't felt sick yet at all and I've got some energy back.
Here's to getting closer to 2nd trimester! =D

I hope it won't be too hard to manage our almost 2-year-olds when the babies come!
. Hope the second tri relief kicks in soon
I hope you and your doctor can find some coping stuff. I like the idea of the storks but that just seems like extra work lol as for a name I am not clever so lolol
