J's parents have started cooking 十三太保 for G to drink. It is a traditional Chinese medicine consisting of 13 different herbs, supposedly will make the fetus stronger and let the mummy have a smoother pregnancy
Or in J's mum's words "孩子比较壮，你 (referring to G) 也会比较好睡".
G had the 2nd 'dose' yesterday...and upon reaching back in BB, she promptly fell asleep on the sofa at 9.30pm. Her plan was to nap for 30mins before waking up to watch the news...
When she finally got woken up by J, it was 11pm!
And all G felt was drowsiness...if not for the fact that she's been out all day, she would have skipped showering and hop into bed immediately. But, G managed to drag herself into the shower and onto the bed at about 11.15pm...and then she fell asleep immediately and only roused at 7am by the urgent need for toilet...
Now, at 4.06pm the next day, G's blood pressure is hovering at 95/65, considered slightly low for her since the last BP taken at the Dr's office was at the range of 110+/70+
Hopefully, whatever medicine she drank was indeed 安胎-ing by 'forcing' her to sleep more...otherwise, this drop in BP and overwhelming drowsiness is not good for her, nor for xiao xiong mao..
On another note, J was down with food poisoning on Thursday...and his appetite seem to have gone and joined G's appetite in playing hide and seek with their owners. G remains nauseated at the thought of drinking water or eating fish (in fact, at the thought of eating anything at all...)
Not such a happy weekend...but as long as xiao xiong mao is safe and sound, putting up with the nausea, dizziness and fatigue is worth it...
