My Life as Open Source

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

I’m taking folic acid as per my docotor. Pregnancy is tiring and sickening, it is the real energy drainer, I feel crappy, lumpy and ungainly. Less than 10 hours sleep a day was too little for me, maybe I’m just so damned tired, I have been experiencing some depression, making it hard for me to start the day, I hate morning so bad now.

I have never had this kind of illness before, althought my doctor said that pregnacy does not cause depression, merely unmasks it. Pregesterone and estrogen are known to have depression side effects and there sure is a lot of progesterone and estrogen running around.

Anyway, on Wednesday I will have OSCAR checkup, an ultrasound scanning and a blood test for Down’s Syndrome, let’s hope all will go well.

    Congratulation! Me and my wife also would become a parent soon. My son (yes, I saw his little “thing” during the ultrasound scan lar!) is due end April.

    We have started another blog just to caputure our feeling for the process (my wife is more active on that, as she got all the feeling that I won’t have). You could check that out:

    Hang in there, kiddo. Yes, your hormones are all out of whack; I’m sure it’ll get better soon. Just make Derek cater to your every whim. That might help.
