Jerome asked me to write something about my second pregnancy last night since I never wrote anything about my first pregnancy (I was too busy with my work at that time but now he asked me to make time for writing anything about my second pregnancy). BTW, he is in Kutai Kartanegara (Kunkar)-East Kalimantan for 4 days. He is doing a quick count for the first direct provincial election. Hmmmmm hope he'll write something about this election later.

This pregnancy is quite harder than before. With Zach I had no nausea at all. Maybe because I was younger at that time. Totally different!For last three months, I've been nauseous and vomiting even I had to be hospitalized for 4 days in April because I was dehydrated. I often feel hurt at my below abdominal. And of course, this pregnancy has been draining my energy a lot. Sometimes I gave up because I has been thinking about my work. But Jerome always supports me by saying that this morning/evening sickness will go soon. I had so many things to do that have to be finished on first week of July. Ha .... ha... if I told Jerome about that, he suddently would be mad. He said "Sayang, why do you think more about work. Just think about our baby safety. You should quit and just do your PIRAC research so you have more time for resting!"



Sometimes I think that he is right. On 21 May 2005 (saturday), I had to work and go to Bekasi for the whole day to do interviews. After got home, I felt my belly hurt a lot. I thought that this is what we called 'miscarriage'. It was very painful! I just cried and couldnt move my body. But after an hour, the pain was gone. Once again, Jerome asked me to resign and he will talk to my boss. Thanks God, he didnt tell anything to my boss about that. Now, I am more careful with my pregnancy.

Now, I feel much better. No vomit for last 15 days, sometimes nauseous but not as bad as before. I can eat a lot too!!I think my weight have gained 1 kg or 1.5kg (we'll see a doctor to check this out on monday). My pregnancy is 16 weeks now but most people still can't see whether I am pregnant or not. I can still wear my jeans eventhough little bit tight on belly part.



I bet next month, I will be look fatter and bigger than this picture. When with Zach, my weight started to gain after 4 months and I gained for 25 kg!!!
