The last couple of days have been exhausting. D has been at home with a cold and G has been off either working late or snowboarding, and having to cope alone when you're pregnant and have a sick child is not a lot of fun. Yesterday I actually thought D was coming down with Chicken Pox as he woke up with some red spots on his face, but no more appeared during the course of the day so I think it was probably just a heat rash or similar. He's back at school today for the first time this week, and wouldn't you know - I have now woken up feeling rotten with a stuffed up nose.
Yesterday I ventured for the first time on to the Treadmill. A friend asked me why I don't just walk outside. Well, it's about minus 25 out there and walking in those temperatures is not pleasant! And of course aside from the couple of weeks of Spring we get, it'll be too hot the rest of the time :-) But anyway, I was pleased to do a little exercise. I haven't until now because of the early bleeding and wanting to allow the 'danger' period to pass, but now that it is I intend to walk briskly at least 30 mins every day. Not only will it reduce my blood sugar, but it will increase circulation in my legs and hopefully reduce the risk of any DVT's.
