Yep - more weight lost!

Another 400g down today. So 3.4kgs lost since last Sunday! BUT unfortunately, my appetite is coming back, slowly but surely, and I binged on some Tim Tams tonight! *blushes* But I only had one meal - lunch. So I don't know if I will have another loss tomorrow or not.

Flu - feeling better today. Coughing ALOT and my whole belly is sore from the coughing! I must brace myself when I cough, and use muscles that never usually get used LOL I feel like I have been working out! It even hurts when bub kicks and pushes out!

I don't know what I am doing up at this time of night (1:15am!) I just don't feel tired at all - feel like I could stay up for hours yet, but better go to bed *sigh*

28 weeks tomorrow

Time is FLYING! I think I had better get a move on with preparing for this baby - my due date will be here before I know it! I am terrified that this baby will come early (no reason for me to worry) and I will have nothing ready, and Charlotte will still be in the baby's cot! So hoping to start on these things shortly:

Buy and pack some supplies for hospital,
Move Charlotte into her big bed in the other room,
Buy a new car seat and have them both installed.

If I can get these few things done, I will feel much more at ease!

Had my 28 week appointment the other day - with a different doc. Blood pressure is fine - fundal height where it should be - no swelling - he listened for bub's heartbeat with his stethoscope and bub gave him a huge kick! hahahaha. He also said that bub is laying on my left side 'there's more over that side than this side' LOL. Doc then typed up a referral for the GTT - will do that next week sometime. Just have to try and find a way to entertain Charlotte for the hour I have to wait between blood tests!

Feeling plenty of movements - no hiccups yet. Feel sorry for the poor bub - Charlotte is always pushing hands or elbows into my belly! Or trying to use it as a trampoline!

I can still wear my pre-(this)pregnancy jeans! Only I have to undo them when sitting in the car, as I don't like pressure on my belly. LOL Aaaand then have to remember to do them up again before going into shops!

Weight - I think it was last weekend - I had officially gained 200g. Was NOT happy LOL. Then on Sunday I had a killer headache, Monday a sore throat, Tuesday a sore throat and cold symptoms, Wednesday full on flu, Thursday full on flu, Today feeling slighty better. To top it all off, have had headaches and toothaches. So because of all of this I haven't had much of an appetite, can't smell real well, and can't taste. Today I ate nothing all day (just drank heaps of milk and cordial) - until 6:30pm when I thought I really must force myself to eat something for bub - so heated up the dinner I didn't eat last night! So this week I have dropped 3kgs! And am now 2.8kg under pre pregnancy weight - and guessing I may be down more tomorrow!

Weight last pregnancy - I found this in Charlotte's blog - "We (doc and I) also spoke about weight, and I said I had gained 5kg so far - and she said 'so you've actually lost weight'." So am doing pretty well so far!

Off to pop some pills (panadol and something for the sinuses) and head to bed!

New Belly Pic & Comparison

23 Weeks ...... 27 Weeks

27 weeks tomorrow

I think that means I am in the third trimester! Eeeeek! Only 3 months to go! Now THAT is scary! I am so excited to meet this new little person, but also terrified of having a newborn again - and all of those newborn troubles, and terrified of having two babies!

Been feeling pretty good! Get the odd strong BH every now and then, but nothing regular. Feel pretty huge at times. Have had a bit of SPD pain - hurts a bit when putting pants on, turning over in bed, and the other night I 'ran' to Charlotte to stop her doing something and yelled out in pain! Ouchy! But hasn't been too bad yet. Have a sore tailbone and lower back if I sit too long (every night after my laptop time LOL) but that is nothing new.

Getting quite a few strong movements, and getting the rolling and pushing movements as well as the jabs now - so bub must be getting big! Ray hasn't felt bub move yet - he works all day, and we go to bed at different times, so never has a chance! And the times he has been around when bub is kicking up a storm, I call out to him and bub stops! Cheeky!

I have just discovered that my GP has gone on 12 months leave! Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?! Not happy Jan! I mean, she was a bit clueless at times, and loved laughing at me :P But I loved seeing my woman doc! So will make an appointment at 28 weeks to see a different doc - he is lovely though, so I should be ok! Just a checkup and a referral for the GTT.

What else. Oh, over the last month or so my weight has been creeping back on, and I am now only about 200g under my starting weight! Arghhh! I didn't want to gain any weight at all - yeah right! By this stage of pregnancy it is ok to have gained between 5-10kgs - so minus the baby and other pregnancy related 'stuff' I may have lost around 5kgs so far I guess?

So I really want to start eating better, and maybe start a bit of exercise?
