One thing I did not know about pregnancy is that it changes your immune system, your body is all geared up to protecting baby and not you...if I had known this I would have avoided spending time with a friend who had only just recovered from a cold.
I am now bunged up, coughing, not sleeping well, feeling weak and wobbly and generally very unpleasant, and this is mixing rather nastily with morning sickness until I really just want to sleep until this cold is over!
I'm also starting to worry about money, and the lack of it. I am unemployed right now, mainly due to my mental health issues, and coyote only works part time. We live in two different bed-sits in the same house. and we cope OK. but when the baby comes...well, to be honest I'm trying not to think about it too hard. it could get messy and very difficult. Coyote is on the top floor of the house, and he's helping our very lovely landlady decorate the flat next door to his, which I'll be moving into, so we'll have one room as bedroom/sitting room and the other room as kitchen/extra living space. which I think will be fine until baby is about a year old...but once baby is walking...and being on benefits and officially living with coyote could mean they decide to completely cut off my benefits and then we really couldn't afford to live. we're also waiting for Coyote's sister to sell their parents house (sadly they passed away and left their house jointly to the both of them) but with the housing market as it is, the house just isn't selling...and its all a bit of a mess...I normally have the point of view of 'it'll all work out OK in the end'. but perhaps I really should start to panic...
