Updates..

Alhamdulillah, I'm now just past the 16th week of my pregnancy (that's the 4-mth mark for you laypeople). I will be going for my appointment on Friday; they are supposed to come back to me on the results of my blood test. (I hate test results!) At my appointment last month my dr remarked on my elevated protein level - on its own, its not that serious, but coupled with high blood pressure could mean pre-eclampsia - which I am worried about even though according to the books, the symptoms don't usually appear til after week 20. The baby, however, was doing well, oblivious to the goings-on in its mama's world.

Other pregnancy symptoms... let's see... I am still having morning sickness (vomiting, mostly) but not necessarily in the morning, mind you, so I don't understand why they call it that! Other than that, and tiredness - I am missing a lot of my 10pm shows lately - I am perfectly alright.

Other big news on the homefront... my husband has FINALLY started his online training... which means he is one step closer to becoming second officer on the 737 fleet. We are hoping that he will get there by July at the latest, so by the time baby comes his salary will be stable. Just found out that MAS pilots' benefits do not include maternity benefits for the wife.. so costs of our baby's delivery come November will have to be out-of-pocket.

As I mentioned, I've been missing a lot of my shows lately, due to tiredness (I am normally asleep by 10!). Trying not to miss American Idol this week as it's the finals... I am so hoping that Jordin will win... personally I am not surprised that Melinda got booted out last week.

Finally, I'm hoping to be able to catch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on Friday.. if I do get tickets, I will let you know how it was!
