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.

  Catch-up! Food/Exercise:
I cant even keep up with how much food im eating now!!! ive had all-day nausea every day since i found out i was preggers. so im eating basically every 1 - 2 hours to keep it bay. Im trying to stick mostly to fruit so im finding that im having around 5 serves of fruit a day! so i have widened the range of fruit i eat so i dont get sick of it - nectarines, grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, plums - i eat it all.

In regards to exercise i have just been too sick and tired to do it. even a small walk just seems to be too much at the moment. but once the first trimester is over i really want to do more exercise.


Weight gain over pregnancy:
I've heard that the plan should be to gain 1-2 kilo in the first trimester, then 1-2 kilo every month after that. so that is my plan!


Bee's sleeping:
I have taught her how to go to sleep on her own!!!!!!! previously i was rocking her to sleep. now she cries for less than a minute and SLEEPS THROUGH!!! i cut out all her night feeds cos she doesnt need them anymore. so now i am getting more sleep at night and more rest during the day. she really settled into this routine nicely. it only took 1 night of being unsettled for her to set the new routine and we have had 4 nights of sleep-throughs since then! hallelujah!!!  ¶ 4:09 PM 2 comments
