Sick Pyke

My Norwegian penpal once sent me a postcard entitled "sick pyke" with an illustration of a pale looking girl covered in a warm blanket. When i thought of a title for this post, her face came rushing to my mind and thus the foreign title which actually means "sick girl".

i have been very sick. Physically, i am feeling less energetic and walking around is equal to dragging a sack of fat potatoes. Why am i complaining? It was me, myself that had prayed for the miracle to happen..to be blessed with a child. Here I am now, half-way through the journey of becoming a mummy. Thrilled? Of course..who wouldnt but the pain, the nausea and the anxiety sometimes get the best of me.
