So much for not feeling so tired. Yesterday I slept half the morning, half the evening, all night, had a lie-in this morning, and I still feel exhausted.
We're supposed to be going out tonight, tomorrow we have friends over for dinner, the house needs a major tidy-up in preparation for that, and I have no idea where I'm going to get the energy from to do all of these things.
Eating healthily is going rather well. I'm not going hungry and I feel better in myself for eating well. No guilt for having consumed tons of chocolate is a good thing!
One of the 'fears' I have at the moment is that the baby will have some kind of problem, like Autism, when born. I know this is an absurd fear to have at this stage but the reason for my fear is not absurd. In the UK I knew nobody with children who had this kind of disability. Here, on my street alone, 3 or 4 babies were born autistic in the last few years. And a little boy across the road the same age as Dylan has ADHD, learning disabilities, and possibly Tourettes Syndrome. Scary stuff. I understand that these things can occur in 'clusters', so I'm quite terrified that there's something here in the air, in the food, in the water, causing this.
