Monthly weighin + ultrasound results!!!! We are having a boy!!!! i had a feeling it would be a boy and have said this since day 1!!!! yay! his boy-bits were massive and really hard to miss - so i doubt there will be a mixup and we will have a girl.

i weighed in a couple of days early cos i still dont have batteries for my scales and i used a friends scales.

I put on 2.7kg this month but im fine with that - even tho its more than what i wanted to gain each month. i am still under my goal weights so it all evens out in the end. i had alot of growing to catch up on this month and my belly FINALLY looks well and truely pregnant!!!! its gotten so big in the last 2 weeks. so i knew this month would be a big one.

Im positive next month I will be in the 1-2kg gain that i strive to achieve.

  16 week preg weighin! hi all! i doubt anyone still reads this blog as i am rediculously lazy and havent posted in about a bazillion years! ive been blissfully relaxing and catching up on my scrapbooking but thought id drop by and post my weighin results.

i should have done this on the 6th may but my scale batteries were dead and they dont sell my batteries in this hick country town i live in. so i had to wait till i went into town to visit family this weekend.

i weighed a blissful 70.8kg!!!!!!!!! that is 2 kilo in 5 weeks of pregnancy! a total of 2.2kg in 17 weeks! im in shock - i really am. cos my belly has REALLY popped and sticks out heaps - i thought i would be more. so cos im a week over im guessing i would have been around 70.4kg when i ws SUPPOSED to weigh in. thats cos i gained an average of 400g a week this last month.

this is fine cos i wanted to gain between 1 and 2 kilo each month tops. and ive come in at 1.6kg.

im still eating tonnes of fruit and walking when i can. i sometimes overdo the walking and regret it afterwards. like last week i went for a 3 hour stroll and while i felt fine afterwards - that night i was not feeling too good. so im not doing that again. i didnt mean to go for that long. but i walked to the supermarket, then to the scrapping store, then to the library, then to the park, then walked home - all with Bee in the pram. never again!

i hope u are all well. big belly rubs to all u preggers women :D  ¶ 8:35 AM 1 comments

  Twelve Week Preg Weighin my weighin went really really well! this morning - i was 68.8kg. so im basically the same weight as before i got preggers. but the last 12 weeks has seen me jump to 70kg (in the first 4 weeks), then I dropped down to the high 66's (around the middle), and now Ive settled down to what I was at the beginning!! so it has been a turmulous time that I will blame on the hormones and my changing body

but overall - im very happy with this result as it puts me ahead of my goal!!

I have been eating ALOT of food. but i really have been trying to make good food choices. I will just not focus on the two pieces of carrot cake i ate yesterday! i baked it with good intentions - but those intentions went out the window when i realised how damn good it tasted!

ive been staying away from the chocolate though because that really is a weak spot for me. I know I shouldnt dabble there cos I cant stop myself once i have a bit. Easter may be hard for me this year. but Im gonna be asking family members to either get me something else that isnt food related, or get me a couple of those tiny choc eggs. if i get those individually wrapped tiny eggs then its alot more effort to eat them. damn those things are hard to unwrap sometimes!

have a great weekend everyone :)  ¶ 9:25 AM 4 comments

  starting to look preggers! so far so good in regards to weight. but its my first preg weighin the day after tomorrow so i wont ruin any surprises by posted my weight from today :) you will have to come back on the 8th to check my weight!

my belly has well and truely popped out though. my pants are getting mildly snug lately. and i can feel the difference. i seem to have popped out in the last week because i really noticed it while visiting mackay.

morning sickness is a thing of the past now. and im starting to feel less tired. i think im entering the blissful 2nd trimester. this is a good part of the pregnancy i reckon. well, at least it was with Bee. although i did just suddenly remember the HORRIBLE heartburn i used to get every day. i nearly forgot about that!!

its raining today in moranbah. i love the rain. bee just went down for a nap so im gonna snuggle up in bed and read a book for an hour till she wakes up. i love how long she sleeps for! last night she slept through from 7pm until 6am. then just went down for her morning nap at 8:15am, for most likely a 1.5hr nap. that is her normal naptime length.

such a good girl!!  ¶ 8:32 AM 3 comments

  Cyclone we are alright! we live way down the bottom of the "warning area" so all we got was some overcast skies and 1 shower of rain. i really feel for those in innisfail. it would have been so scarey. espeically for those with kids. i woulda just packed everyone up on friday and went driving west to keep out of the way.

on the weight side of things this morning I weighed 67.2 so all is good. my morn sickness has disappeared except for when i let myself get really tired and dont eat enough. so im sleeping when i can!

im starting to collect second-hand stuff for the new nursery - such fun!!! i need a toddler bed for Bee cos i wanna use her cot for the new baby. plus a new chest of drawers. i want a comfy breastfeeding chair for beside the cot (kids sleeping in seperate rooms). and im getting 2 room dividers from an office that is renovating in mackay - so im gonna cover them in colourful material and sew big pockets in it so i can store toys/books and stuff in it. brighten up the room and will help seperate off the play/sleep areas.

i love this sort of thing!

for those that are interested - i posted up more pics of Bee in Flicker yesterday.

have a great week.  ¶ 10:41 AM 1 comments
