Pregnancy Weigh In 16/11/2009

Don’t ask me what is going on but today I weigh 96.4kg.   Wow – this means I have cracked the 30kg lost without trying (due no doubt to my overworking pregnancy metobolism).  If I keep going like this I may not need to go back over the 100 mark for this pregnancy.

Now please note again I have not been trying to lose weight – I have been eating whatever my body tells me I need.  It is so funny because I still feel bigger than ever and I don’t feel like my body is coping with my changing shape.  Perhaps I am just noticing more after all this weight loss.  I was bigger during my first pregnancy and I just don’t remember feeling like this until the end.  My BMI is 33.8.  When I have lost about another 11kg (which won’t happen until after the baby) I will be classed as overweight not obese.  That will be a fantastic goal to reach down the track  :-) .

I am so excited by my pregnancy but I feel like I am struggling most of the time – I guess there is a lot going on.  My hubby has big exams at the moment so that is stressful and doesn’t give him time to help me out much though he does what he can.  The pram is broken so that is really stopping me from getting out with my daughter and after yesterdays effort I am defiantely not going to attempt to take her to the shops again without the pram as it was a nightmare!!!!

Oh well it will all be ok soon  :-) on a better note there is only a week until my ultrasound.  I did unfortunately have a little more bleeding on Saturday night but it seems to have stopped again so I am not too worried (though I did have a good sob that night as I was having a bit of an emotional day).

That is it from me  :-)   Leave a comment to say hi if you are reading this  :-)

 

Bladder 13/11/2009

Well I think Jellybean has finally found my bladder and is using it like a trampoline because I feel like I spent the whole day yesterday running in and out of the bathroom.  I was wondering when that was going to start.  :-)

Also I am going to make a prediction – although I am usually wrong about these things – but I am guessing that I am having a girl.  That of course is not saying much because I think with my daughter I thought I was having a boy LOL.

hehehe oh well I guess in 8 weeks we will hopefully know if the baby cooperates.

 

10 wks & photos 11/11/2009

Well 10 weeks pregnant today – 1/4 of the way through.  I have updated my photos today though I am still coming to terms with them myself.  They were taken just a little while ago so that is a whole days worth of food and bloating???  I am a little shocked to see how much it is poking out to be honest.

I am wearing my maternity clothes although I was going to wear my tights but upon looking into the mirror and saw how much it was cutting into my belly I thought my maternity pants would be a better look.

I have decided that pregnancy and medical shows just don’t mix – I watched a woman having an ultrasound only to find out the baby had died a couple of weeks ago.  Well I was crying my eyes out and gave the tissues a good work out – something I really really didn’t need to see.

I had a very productive day today though I feel exhausted and drained now.  A couple of days ago I stopped my daughters naps in the day as she was just getting up to too much mischief so I figured it wasn’t worth the pain and suffering anymore.  The only prob is that is when I normally had my nanna nap so they are out now.  Oh well such is life.  Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will feel better anyway.  I felt surprisingly green today.

That is all to report other than I have booked in for the 12 weeks nuchal ultrasound (mainly to just see the baby again LOL).  I hope they print me a photo this time.
