So Annoyed :(

Im really really annoyed at myself and have let myself down big time! Since i last posed i have not stopped eating :( I know i've put on probably a quiet considerable amount of weight! All i can say is I cant wait for all the Christmas food and temptation to be gone and i can get back to being a successful Weighwatcher! Im just dreading the first weigh in now!

My mum got me Biggest Loser for the Wii for Christmas, and i obviously have the Wii fit too, so its going to get a serious hammering before first weigh in!!

I have to accept responsibilty for everything i have put in my mouth and face up to the consequences. At least i'll be back in the swing soon enough and on my way to being a Yummy Mummy (10 years after becoming a mummy!)

Oh, Merry Christmas by the way!

Starting Point

I got weighed today - 8 days after having Kieron. I have to say i'm well chuffed! I was 18st 11.5 lbs when i found out i was pregnant, top weight was 19st 1lb while pregnant and today i weighed 17st 13lbs. Woo Hoo!! I havent been 17 st anything in years!!

So this is my starting point! I dont ever want to see 18st something again, so although i'm not officially back at Weightwatchers until the New Year i'm going to sort of start watching my food and start to increase my activity levels so that when i do have my official start weight it isnt above 18st!

Post Birth Figure!

I havent weighed in yet since having baby, but at my final weigh in just before he was here i was 19 st 1lbs, meaning a total weight gain of 3.5 lbs in the pregnancy!!

I just decided (for a laugh!) to try on a pair of jeans i bought before finding out i was pregnant, they are a size 20, and have never been worn before as i was a 22 and they didnt quiet fit - Im so chuffed- they fit!! Four days after giving birth and i'm thinner than ive been in aaaaaaaages!! Just need to watch what im eating now im not being sick every day though or it'll be piling on!!

Im actually really looking forward to getting back to weightwatchers and back in the swing of things! I cant go back officially though until 6 weeks post birth, which is between Christmas and New Year, so looks like i'll be back first week in New Year - with all the post Xmas dieters and New Years Resolutioners!!

He's Here!! :)

Well after going into hospital on 13th November to be induced, after a very traumatic and long drawn out weekend, baby Kieron finally entered the world on Tuesday 17th November 2009, at 10.54am, weighing in at a very healthy 9lbs 5oz! Im so glad they didnt let me go overdue!!

He is absolutely gorgeous and so far has been a very good baby. Only came home Wednesday night so im still finding my feet and wondering where to begin with the chaos!

Well!......Eek!

I had an appointment with my consultant today. I have 9 days until my due date, but have been backwards and forwards to hospital for monitoring of my blood pressure. It has been creeping higher again the last week to 10 days, and i've been feeling ill.

Anyways, im going to be induced on Friday!! (the 13th but im not superstitious!!) So all being well i'll have a baby before this weekend is out! Its my middle sons birthday on Saturday so he could be getting a baby brother for his birthday!! How unique a present!

Im so excited, yet scared and nervous too! But more than that, im just so relieved i'll have my body back! I've been sick every day for over 7 months, so i cant wait for that to stop!

I had a scan last Weds and baby was estimated to be approx 8.5lbs then, so he could be about 9lbs now, but i suppose i'll find out before long!!

Fully Cooked!!

Well as of today I am 37 weeks, and therefore baby is now classed as full term! How the heck did that happen, its gone so fast the last few weeks!

Im still being montiored for my blood pressure but it seems to have settled down now and all is well with baby too.

Im not expecting anything to happen just yet, my other 3 babies have all been late, so im still expecting to have another month of pregnancy! If im induced at 10 days over it will be 30th November. If anything happens before then - bonus! :D

5 Weeks To Go

or 7 at the absolute most!!!

I've now finished work - was supposed to finish today but ended up finishing last Thursday. I felt ill in work so rang the midwife who wanted to see me. Turns out my blood pressure was high, and as i've had pre eclampsia in 2 of my previous pregnancies i was sent to hospital. Im now on medication to lower my blood pressure, but after an appointment yesterday was again sent to hospital. I now have to go twice a week for monitoring, unless it settles down and stays down!

Baby is now behaving himself, is head down and is no longer measuring 4 weeks ahead - only 1 week ahead now - so maybe im not having the 13lber my hubby keeps saying i am!

Hopefully my bp will settle, or it'll make the next 5 weeks seem forever! I want to be able to relax before baby comes, not be rushing to hospital every other day!
