The ups and downs of our planned new life to NZ, warts and all!

21 weeks and restlessTue 29 April 2008
So glad to have Steve back.  Although he's really milking the whole jat lag thing!  Its great to have my buddy back.  Well, sort of, he's already started working again.  Just spoke to him and he's really enjoying his first day.  So cool bananas there!  Just want to get stuck into our visa application process now.  I have read so much about the different routes into Canada, it makes my brain feel like cotton wool.  So many decisions to make.  If I only someone could tell me categorically which option I should choose and how best to get a job offer secured.  I need a crystal ball.  Anyway, just wanted to add a bit about the pregnancy as I'm now half way through!  I can feel the baby very gently periodically, especially when I'm lying flat.  I do look rounder, and I'm so pleased to have all of my maternity clothes.  I've never had such an extensive wardrobe!  We also have the bassinet which is really weird.  It still seems surreal.  Its sad that I don't feel that pregnant.  Night is bad with vivid dreams and increasing restlessness.  I'm feeling a bit claustrophobic.  I want time to pass a bit more quickly.  Its a bit annoying trying to make travel plans around times I can fly and how I'm going to feel.  I desperately need a holiday.  I'm so tired and drained.  My body feels wracked from the problems I had while Steve was away and I can't shut down now he's back.  My body seems to be stuck in a gear of not being able to rest and sleep.  The acid reflux is dreadful again - really need to see the Dr about getting some meds.  Eating antacids like smarties really isn't helping.  Hmmm, being pregnant sure is boring!  I refuse to let this happen again for a good few years.  I will have to make sure I read this blog when I'm feeling broody!  NOTE TO SELF:  Think of the fine wine and beer, think of the fresh sushi, think of a comfortable night's sleep, think of sleep, think of not throwing up, think of not being so god damn tired.  That should just about cover it!
