It's been a long time

Well I am finally back. I gave birth to my beautiful son Tre Henare on June 4th, 2009.

I am still trying to lose the baby weight I gained, well soon I guess it won't be considered babyweight. I gained around 50lbs when pregnant. I think the highest I hit was 222, the highest I have ever weighed which was scaring. I manged to lose 30 lbs right away and then but 10 of them back on. I rejoined ww meetings in January but have somehow only managed to lose 7lbs and in the last month I proceed to gain 3.5 of that back. I am currently sitting at 197.5 but I am determind to get the weight off.

These days I don't have much time for excerise Tre keeps me on my toes. He is crawling, pulling himself up on everying and attempting to walk. So right now I am concentrating on eating right and trying to drink more water.

I'm sorry

I know I have been so bad at updating lately, it has been months. Well I am now almost 6 months pregnant, can't believe how fast it has gone by. I am feeling pretty good now that I am over the horrible all day sickness I had, even with that I still managed to put on 20lbs already. I am really looking forward to getting back to weight watchers once I have the baby.

We are going for our 3-d ultrasound this weekend, I am really looking forward to hopefully finding out the sex. I am sure its a boy, but my husband says girl. I think I will win.

I have been struggling with quitting smoking due to a lot of family stress, I go on the patch for a few weeks and think I am done then I end up smoking for a day or two. I am really trying to kick the habit before I hit 7 months though because I know that is when the babies lung start to devolp and is the worst for smoking. I am really doing my best. I guess that is all for now.

Sorry I haven't been updating as much as usual. This was supposed to be my baby blog not really working out that way. I am feeling a little bit better these days. Still a bit sick to my stomach but no throwing up. I was offically 3 months on Friday and the doctors have told I am due on May 29th. I have heard the heartbeat a bunch of times. Its was really cool. I am still working on quitting smoking and having the occasional slip up. But I am really hard at it and I know it will happen.

I went shopping last night, all my clothes are too tight now. So I went to motherhood maternity. I bought 3 pairs of pants, two sweaters and a winter jacket for $250. So did pretty good. But that is all for me for now.

Update

Well I am now 11 weeks pregnant. The baby is due on May 29th. I am starting to feel a bit better not throwing up as much as before. But now I am trying to be more careful with what I eat don't want to put on too much weight.

My doctor put me on the patch to quit smoking. I wasn't able to do it completly by myself like I had hoped. Sorry I haven't been updating much I have just been so sick.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Morning sickness

It sucks, I feel horrible and i have for the last week. I have tried everything I can think of, I don't want to take any drugs I know they say its safe but I still don't trust it. But I am not sure what do next. I have tried 7-up, gingerale, crackers, sipping water, ginger tea. I am just hoping that our vacation isn't going to be ruinned because of it. I just wish I could find something that works even a little bit.

I am going for an ultrasound next week, so they can fiqure out my exact due date. I am suffering from some really bad morning sickness these days, but everyone tells me that is a good sign so I will deal with. Seems like 7-up or ginger ale and soda crackers are the only thing that makes its better, but I am worried about too much salt and sugar.

Told my doctor I am still smoking he suggested to get quit within the next few weeks. So I am doing my best I am down to 3-4 a day so I think that is pretty good. I am hoping to be quite really soon. I think the transitation from 3 to none, any suggestions would be greatly aprpecaited.

Thoughts?

I am thinking of making this into a baby blog until I get back to weight watchers, what do you all think?

Today I have my appointment with my doctor, I am going back in November for my physical. I go next week for my ultrasound so they can pin down my due date. We are pretty sure I am 4 weeks along but I could be more.

I am also working on quitting smoking. As of right now I am down from half a pack a day to 4 smokes a day. But I want to fully quit within the next two weeks. But I am not sure how to go down from the 4 smokes to nothing. Last time I quit I did by the patch, which I know isn't save since I am pregnant.
