It's Been A While...

Jun 03, 2013

Hello, all! It has been a while since I was really active on this site. Been without internet and my computer for a while and just discovered I can do this from my. phone so here I am. A lot has happened in the last 5 months. My baby boy is now 6 months old and is a giant! Lol At his 6 month well child check he weighed in at 18lbs and 26.25in! He's come a long way from 5lb15oz and 18.75in! :) He's rolling all over the place, trying to figure out the crawling thing, and pretty much sitting up on his own. He is also sleeping through the night more often than not which makes me happy *knock on wood* We stopped breast feeding at 2 months old. I had supply issues once again. It was heartbreaking that I was not able to provide that for my baby but I'm better now. As for me, it took FOREVER to finally get back on track. I thought after baby was born and I was done breastfeeding it would be like a switch that I could flip on. I was soooo wrong! After many failed attempts I finally decided to go back to square one: liquids. I told myself I could progress to the next phase when I was decarbed and coukd trust myself around regular food again. I also started the Couch-to-5k program and since have started to love running! :) I spent every month until I got my first post partun period in April freaking out about being pregnant. I was on the minipill for a while after Izaak was born but it started making me psycho crazy like the regular pill so I stopped taking it and we were left with the rhythm method which you can't really use until you have a period and can track your cycles. So in April I downloaded a period tracker app and got to work. Saw that ovulation would occur on or about the 19th of April. James and I avoided an entire week before and after the 19th. When my period didn't show on May 3rd as it should have I got a little nervous. Took a test on the 4th and it was negative. 3 days later when I still didn't have my period I wasn't reassured by the previous negative so I retested. I tested in the afternoon and swore I saw the faintest of lines and decided to retest in the morning. Sure enough, the next morning there was a faint but definite second line. So we've hit another road block in this weight loss journey: baby #3 is due in January! I wasn't thrilled about this at first, but as the shock has worn off I'm getting to that happy/excited place. I'm currently 7.5 weeks pregnant. Morning sickness is in full force and I am exhausted! As for my weight, I had hovered right around 226-230 since Izaak was born. In the week before I found out I was pregnant I dropped down to 220 and I'm currently right around 215. So as with my other pregnancies, this one has caused me to lose weight in the beginning. Not that it's how I want things to play out, but if this keeps up I may just be in Onederland after I have this kid! So that's. What's been going on with me. Hope everyone of my OH family are well. God bless!
