Taking Things Easy
I’ve finally realised that I need more rest, and take things slowly. *Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out*.
Last Friday, I got the fright of my life when I noticed that I was bleeding. It’s not only spotting, but bleeding. I got spotting in the beginning of my pregnancy, and after taking some pills, I was doing fine. But when I saw blood at 8pm, I just tried to be cool, and told myself that I’d go for a checkup the next day.
Then, I went to bed early with Justin. I felt weird at midnight, and went to the washroom. Apparently, I was still bleeding. It really scared the hell of me, and I called hubby (who’s in oversea), and my friend. After that, I called up the hospital if I should admit immediately. The nurse told me to get there so they can call my gynae to check on me.
Ok, I packed ASAP, moved my sleeping baby to MIL’s room, and rushed to hospital with SIL. My ob-gynae said the he couldn’t use the ultrasound machine at night, so that’s no point I stayed a night at the hospital. He gave me a jab, and asked me to return to his clinic the next day.
Luckily, the scanning showed that my baby is still safe and sound in my womb. I’ve never felt so glad looking at the images before, and when I saw the little heart beating, I felt like crying. Just too happy, and felt like crying.
My doc asked me to stop working until week 16 as I showed some signs of threaten abortion. But that’s impossible for me to do so, I’m self-employed. If I’m an employee, I’ll be thrilled not to be working for so long. Too bad, when you have your own biz, you just can’t afford to take rest.
So, I’ll take things easy now. Don’t care about my biz, just be there and act like bimbo for a while. No more do-everything-by-myself boss.

ah, i’m so sorry to hear this from you. Do take care of yourselves (plural, plus the baby in you)… gosh, it must have been some tough time for you huh?
Hmmm, anyhow, everything will soon turn out to be fine eventually. Take care, and REST MORE!

Willwolf, you’re right, baby comes first, money later.
Msau, how I wish I can sleep more, but I try to take things slowly now.

Oh no… worried for you. Are you very stressed? So sorry to hear that, especially when your husband is not around… feel so helpless and lonely isn’t it?
Take very good care of you, okay?
