Mum Tum update..

So this happened this week.. 

I ate so much crap when Freddie came back from hospital so kne wi had to reign myself in..I was starting to feel really blegh.

It worked tho and I'm feeling great today, target isn't too far of from my lowest weight (hyperemesis weight haha) where I feel comfortable.

I'm still determined to start up some exercise once I hit goal to strengthen up and try and ward off SPD in my next pregnancy. Well that's what I'm hoping! According to physio I can "officially" start proper exercise next month.

What a lovely way to start cheat day hahah

Thanks for reading x  

Coughs, snot, sore throats and croup!

Over the past week me and Freddie have had ear infections, sore throats, chest infections & a horrible episode of croup that rocked me to my core.

I had no idea it could take grip so fast, Freddie went down for his nap fine, woke  an hour later slightly wheezy, then about five mins later started with a rasp, Within ten minutes of this I was at my moms for her to try and give him some steam therapy to relieve some of the symptoms, where I said I needed to take him straight to the doctors as he sounded worse, so we did... He was constantly crouping on the way there to the point I thought it was an asthma attack as I could see the classic accessory muscles in his shoulders working overtime (this is where children become exhausted due to using these muscles for want of oxygen) he deteriorated very quickly 

I went into panic mode & as I got him out the car he was blue all around his lips and exhausted. 

He was seen and treated with steroids straight away, they kicked in whilst he was in the ambulance. Once at hospital he had another dose of steroids and he was 95% better, just shattered.

We were allowed home and it took me

A few days to sleep properly as we were warned he would be more susceptible to croup now he has had it. I was sure I would wake up in the night with another emergency situation.

However, he has only had one small episode since and is now fighting off his chest infection.

We both can't wait to get in the fresh air, fighting fit x

Little laughs

How can a 6 month old be so comical?!

We have laughed so much at little man today.. Initially he was doing his usual forcing out farts and burps..really made him giggle today, he absolutely loved it!

Then he was perfecting his crawling backwards around the bedroom, picking up clothes and bras on the way..

The best though, was when he was head banging against his dad, for about two minutes we were all stuck laughing including Freddie who was amazed that we were all having the same reaction.

He is curled up snoring his little button nose off. So tempted to wake him for a munch. I resisted. 💙

No day!

Well I always get too excited about the snow..this morning was no exception. Looked out the window to see this.. 

Shameful!

No snow men here just soggy cat and dog paw prints. 

Smooth-ie operator

New year..new me.

The mantra everyone starts with when jan 1st comes rolling in, I wonder how many of us have given up the resolutions we had already!

I haven't given up mine.. Which was to get a smoothie maker haha (attainable!)

I currently use my blender and pour into a glass and chug it in one, when I was at work this would be before I left house, a bit of a feat at 6.15!

With doing weight watchers, a smoothie is an easy way to fill up, get in loads of fruit and have a quick breakfast all on very little or no points...great for me! Sometimes I beef it out with oats and have a "thickie" or for little or no sleep days..peanut butter and coffee (amazing)

There is a massive fad at the moment for smoothie makers that have an on the go bottle attachment, blend and go! This would be great for me to drink when I got to work or even have when I'm out with Freddie..

but which one?

Cheaper versions that have a lower wattage, less power to crush ice effectively(drives me crazy) or the high speed versions for a lot more money?

What do you guys have? Or am I better off sticking with my blender!
