I gained 1kg this week taking my weight to 96.4kg. I am crying on the inside – I knew it was coming but it is still a little hard. I worry that if I put on 1kg every week I will gain another 17kgs by the end. I’m sure that won’t happen but it is in the back of my mind.
I know the weight gain is for a good cause but I wish my scales would lie to me. 
One week until my holiday – woo hoo
Well after putting off for a while I finally went to see a doctor today about my pop, pop, popping ears – turns out I have an ear infection and am now on antibiotics. I am glad I got it checked out before I went away – hopefully it will be gone by the time I go away. I also took my daughter who now has Impetigo for the 2nd time so she is also on the same antibiotics but liquid form.
I really should have taken us both to the doctor a lot quicker – I don’t know why I put these things off for.
On the NSV front I know this doesn’t completely count but I went and bought some more maternity clothes from Target and I bought two pairs of Size 16 pants – obviously these are far more forgiving in the maternity wear but I will be interested to see my size once my little boy pops out. I have been feeling a bit whale like lately – I know I am not it is just the changing shape. Anyway I am very excited to see size 16 bottoms maternity or not – I remember prior to my surgery telling my mum ‘if only I could get into a size 16 I would be happy’ hehehe – it is amazing how we change along the way. After my baby comes out and I feel up to it I really have to try and get into some exercise so I can try and combat all this wobbly skin on my legs, stomach and arms. It could be worse – it could still be full of fat!
So I am going to call it a week until our holiday I know it is a little more but close enough hehehe
I think we have everything ready except for getting some cash changed into American dollars (I should have done this sooner as now the exchange rate is suckie).
On the househunting front we have given it a rest this weekend and have decided to wait until we get back from our holidays before continuing.
Well it is as I expected – I just updated my photos and it confirms that my stomach has had the growth spurt I have been feeling.
I also think that my weight is going to start going up, up and away.
This in the scheme of things is not that bad but I am having a frumpy day today. I’ve had no energy today – I don’t know whether that is the repercussions of spending the day at the zoo yesterday. I found it hard yesterday and it gave me a little insight as to how tired I am likely to get on my holiday away. Luckily I will be able to relax in our four star hotel room when I need a rest LOL.
I am excited to see the changes to the planes since I last flew internationally (when I was 15) – you get your own tv screen now and can choose all these movies to watch. This may sound lame but being able to watch a whole bunch of movies without having to change a nappy etc sounds alright to me.
Cara – if you find time to read this I hope your course has started off great and can’t wait to hear about it when you have the time
Roo – chin up, things will look brighter soon (especially when you have the money to come home for good)
12 more sleeps until we hop on a plane, 18 more weeks until I pop a baby out LOL
Well I had my appointment last week to check on the baby – everything was fine except for their scales saying that I had put on a kilo since the last time I saw them. Ho hum. But I saw a nice young male doctor and he told me that I am no longer a large lady – well you can imagine that I instantly loved him hehehe. He told me just what I needed to hear.
Although I think I need him back here today as I have gained again. This week I have put on 300grams bringing my weight to 95.4kg. This would be ok except I hopped on the scales yesterday and they were looking really low so I thought I would lose this week – but no go. Actually I think my belly has had a little growth spurt because I notice I cannot manage walking around the shops for a long period of time without a backache or just general fatigue.
Anyway on to more important things there is two weeks to go until we go on holidays. And I have to say that as my hubby is on 5 days off at the moment we are already in holiday mode. I am loving it. We are even going to try to take my daughter to the zoo tomorrow or the next day.
The only thing is we were in the car and I did get a bit teary thinking how much I am going to miss her when we are gone, but it isn’t for that long so she will be fine.
On the househunting front nothing yet so we may end up leaving it until after we get back from hols as my hubby is working next Saturday anyway.
