The weighting game

No, not a typo… I’m now back on the weight loss drive!  Before I fell pregnant, I had reached one of my goals of a loss of 50 lbs (my target loss being around 72 lbs). I had pretty much fallen off the wagon though, and was just about to get back on it as it was getting me down, when we got our BFP.

Anyway, I wasn’t really worried about leaving him, as I knew he would be well cared for; I was just very …

Watching him when I was in the bath. I used to lie there for ages just watching him squirm and move. Hubby talking to my bump. He just used to ramble on to him about random stuff, but it was lovely to watch & listen to! My socks and shoes being put on for me! It’s one thing I actually could not do towards the end, it was nice …
