Now that he has taken his first steps it's not as though he is suddenly all over the place, though. He still mostly couch-surfs or crawls, but I've noticed…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#40 First HaircutI’ve had another bout of bad morning sickness. Yes, at 6 months along. Considering the way that Murphy’s Law usually works, I suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise at all. I thought things were going…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#39 On the moveThis week I’ve tried to be a little more organized. I used to sleep in quite late each morning. It wasn’t just due to tiredness – the morning sickness was so bad that the more I slept the better it…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#38 Determined to walkI’m actually writing this on the laptop this time as Jay is sleeping and he is in my arms so Greg set up the laptop here for me while he works on the computer in the study.

Greg is working in Chunghua. Right now he (Jay, not Greg) is in his walker and zooting all over the place.

The same thing happened…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#34 On the mendWell, it’s another Saturday. Greg is working in Chunghua today so I’m watching Jay.

We slept in late and then Greg finished putting up this nice bookshelf he had made. It looks quite nice, but we haven’t put any…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#32 Spoke too soon...Snippets from March 6, 2010 (8 months) So after going on about how wonderful I was feeling in my last email, things came crashing down on Sunday. I woke up to go to church and felt nauseas.…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#31 On the MendFinally, in what seems like the first time in forever, I’m feeling a little bit better. Woohoo!

Greg is at work today which means I'm on baby duty and I’m still so sick I couldn’t face getting up early. Everything is more difficult now with…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#29 Worst night ever...I promised I would find the time to write today and so here goes.

I started spotting on Sunday and again on Monday evening and of course it was rather worrying. I went to the doctor on Tuesday morning. Greg…emily3817 (48)in blog • 6 years ago#27 Little ScareWell, it’s been another topsy-turvy week for me.
