Saturday’s Weigh In…. 2.4 kg loss

After the week I had, I didn’t want to face the scale. But I am glad I did. I got a very super surprise when I saw I had lost 2.4kg’s!!!.  I must confuse I was about 80% good last week and didn’t expect such a great lost, especially since I was pumped full of Meds after the D& c and having the flu.

Every gram down for me is a victory and a step closer for me to being healthier for me to have my baby number 2.

I am feeling better. And I hope this week is a good week too. I can feel in my clothes are feeling loose and I am drinking all my water. I am waking up in the morning feeling a lot more refreshed and fill of energy.

I haven’t started exercising yet, but I plan to start this weekend.

Remember

“Fail to plan, plan to fail.”

A lost….

I know I am a very bad blogger. My aim in for once a week, to Blog if I can do more I will.

These past few weeks have been really hard for me. I had a miscarriage, I found out on Friday the 7^th October that the embry0 didn’t survive and died at 7 weeks and 6 days. Not sure why, and the test that were done had no answer either.

It has been an emotional week and a half. I have my good days and bad.

you see:

We found out when I was first pregnant with my daughter we found out that I am O negative, and my hubby is O positive, so once I had my daughter I had to have an anti-D injection, as my daughters  blood was tested and hers was positive, so I was given the injection to stop my blood making anti-bodies against O positive blood. Here is a website link which explains it better. http://pregnancy.about.com/od/rhfactor/a/Rh-Factor-in-Pregnancy.htm

So when we went at 7 wks. And 2 days everything was fine and I had the odd brown discharged which I have had before, but last week Thursday I was feeling achy, had abit of a fever and had lower back pain. And wasn’t happy something felt a miss. And that is why I went into see him. And there was no heart beat and it only measured 7 wks. 6 days, so It died before 8 wks. He also checked for blood flow and there was no blood flow going to the embryo either. So he booked me in for that Friday evening, 5pm I was in theatre and had the D&c.  And was released about 2 or so hours later to go home. Once I had gone to the loo and had eaten. I was in a lot of pain on the weekend, my body was very sore and everywhere . It felt like I was in a wrestling match and came off 2nd best.

I had my check up and the Dr seemed quite positive that we will be able to have another baby.  And is happy with everything too.

I am quite scared to try again, in case it happens again. But in the meantime while I let my body heal, I am making sure I take care of myself over the next few months to get all fit and healthy for when we try again.

+ Positive Pregnancy Test Result.

What a feeling!!, Hello yes we are excited and scared, wondering what have we done???

Yippy Mamma Bear is Pregnant for a 2^nd time.  I have had my sups ions for a few days now, but need the confirmation first. We found out on Saturday, with a home test and then off to the path lab, to be 100% sure with a blood test. And it was positive.

Now we are all very happy and taking things easy, making sure I still eat healthy just now, on the different end of the scale baby’s health is the important issue here.

Mamma bear ( me) not doing to great caught a cold, so trying to get rid of it without taking meds, all I am allowed is panado, saline spray for the nose and a special cough spyry you can take when you preggies.

Well I type this blog, I feel absolute crap. But can’t let too much no, as work has no idea what is going one, we waiting until 12 weeks, before we tell my work.

I am hoping things will improve as the weeks and month more along. Otherwise it is going to be a very long 9 months for sure.

I got a healthy eating plan designed for pregnant woman.

I know this is a speed hump in the road, but now this blog as a different angle on weight gain and weigh loss.

Believe you I learnt my lesson in my first pregnancy, and I still have 7 odd kg’s of that pregnancy still on me.

I hope you will stay and share my new journey with me, a slight detour but at the end we will met up with the weight loss highway we all travel on.

I saw this and wanted to share with you:

“Chocolate Mousse or Skinny Jeans – You decide?”

Cheers for now.

Allergic reaction

Well Yesterday, I went and had blood taken, 5 viles later. To try and find out what is causing these allergic reactions.  They said it will take a week to get the results, so fingers crossed that I can get some answers.

Been suffering with this on and off now since 2006. As it is irregular,so it has been and is hard to pin point down from what. I know certain meds I can take, but it happens even if I haven’t take those meds. I am left with more Questions then answers.

And the Doc said there is a 50/50 chance we will find out or not.

So here is wishing me luck.

Will keep you posted.

Weight loss

On the total AWESOME side of things I have lost a total of 5.8kg’s so far. My CM’s I still have to measure but I am so happy I could SH$% rainbows. ;-)

Still lots to go, but baby steps and we will get there. Taking each day, and each meal at a time.

My Microwave is dead, so I am now using my 2 layer steamer, which is okay, just a pain to clean.

Made such a nice vegetable pizza, last night, with loads of vegetables, I tend to just “fry” more like boil, my mushrooms with abit of water to help the cooking process along, before putting them on the pizza. It was so yummy. And had none of those  unhappy feelings afterwards either.

Until next time.

The Weekend away and the Prawn Shack

Friday the 26^Th – all packed, Made sure all of my LG) Little Girl) stuff is all packed to stay and Granny and Grandpa for the Weekend. Okay it is only one night, but still you worry and you have to pack for anything that could or might happen.

Saturday the 27^Th -  We were up very early, packed the bakkie, said our good byes and we were on our way, stopped off to get something to eat for brekky, and on the road.

The weather was cold and raining. No sun in sight.

We arrived to our B & B and got all settled, everyone arrived and at 11:30am we were all there and left to go to the Prawn Shack.  We had our welcome drinks got all settled and enjoyed our lazy Lunch which only finished at about 5pm. And we were all collected and on our way home at about 6:30pm. And Murphy Law, as we were about to leave the heaven opened and the rained poured down.

We got home after our 45min drive, and started the braai’s and etc.

We all had a great time, I sneaked off to bed by 11ish, and I was finished after beening up so early in the morning.

Sunday Morning, we were up so early again, not by choice, but the Ducks had other plans and they were making such a noise, one had no choice to wake up. If I can call it waking up, didn’t sleep very well at all.  It was a very Rustic place we stayed in. A framed grass cabins, with 2 beds with a thin mattress.  So after waking up had 2 cups of coffee and waited for everyone to wake up and wait for Breakfast to be served.

We ate brekkie and then we packed up and went home. and just vegged on the couch for the rest of Sunday.

Specialist Visit

Made my way my way to his office. I was very nerves and excited to get some answers. I hate hosptials and his offices were in the hosptial.On what is causing this tongue swelling and other problems I seem to be getting and no one’s seems to know what is going on.

So he is what he said:  that I have Allergic Oedema. Basically I swell up from an allergic reaction. He said I have like a 50/50 chance of finding out what causes it, some people never do. At the moment I am staying away from the medications that I have had a reaction too. I am trying to keep things as simple as possible.

He has ordered Blood test, which I will go and visit the Vampires on Friday after work or maybe sooner to get them done. Once that is done we will just have to wait and see what they tell us.

It is quite scary not knowing what is causing it, it is like Russian relent every time I take something or eat something, never knowing if this is going to be the one item that is going to cause swelling.

Until next time.

Be a Yummy Mummy.
